I sold my TZ 3200.  No I'm not looking for one.

I hope people realize that buying a game and selling a game are 2 very different things.

Next question...

How much would you pay for a MINT or high end restoration game?

It cost more than book value to restore a WH20.

I would never buy a restored game for myself, because there is no fun in that!

I paid 2100 for my STTNG... and I find it's pretty darn nice.


Yeah and you could buy Microsoft, if you calculate in the nine splits, in 1986 for 10 cents a share.

LMK when you are willing to sell it to me for $2100.

Thanks.

Great point, Poolman. Not all collectors appreciate an exceptional quality of game and most of those folks like to piss on the value others assign to a game.

For example, try finding a nice WH20 for under $2K (minor playfield wear, no cabinet fade, no breaks on the ramps, minor plastic breaks) or a nice GetAway for $1,800 (no playfield wear, no cabinet fade). I've been looking and haven't seen them. Yet if you asked the group for prices of these two games, I bet they would say less than the prices I have stated.

I have bought "deals" before only to be disappointed with the quality of the game. Then I play it for awhile, fix it up (deals always have issues), and sell to recoup my money later. But they aren't keepers. I've been collecting for over 10 years, I want nice games. That's the evolution of my collection. By now, I've pretty much owned every game I've wanted. Now I want NICE examples, perfect if I can find and afford them.

Like some members who assign realistic values, I appreciate quality and will assign a fair price for a quality game.

Cheers,
Duane

As Adam has pointed out, Whitewater is the most expensive game to mint out. You have to really love the game to go the path of a complete restore. The ramps alone are crazy money. Many collectors do, but it's not for the faint of wallet
