I may have an opportunity to trade my Addams Family for a Demolition Man.  Sounds like the DM is in good shape.   I have never played Demolition Man so before I do I thought I would ask opinions here on this trade.

How do these two machines compare both in game play and in market value?  Is this a fair trade?  You can see my TAF listed in the classified section.  Thanks for any assistance.

TAF is worth twice as much, unless you get cash too you are getting royally screwed!

Yes, you are...better trade would be your TAF for my Star Trek 25th it's MINTY  

IMHO, a very nice shopped TAF is worth more than $3K and a similar condition DM is worth $1800.

Having said that, I prefer DM, other than the cryo-claw that creates a pause during game play this is a very fast game, continual ramp shots and the profanity roms make it just as comical as TAF. Two totally different playing games, but if I was in a arcade and had a choice, I would play DM before TAF.

He should be throwing you some serious cash with the trade unless your TAF is absolutely brutal and his DM is cherry.

Twice the value? Try 3 times... TAF averages at around 3500$ these days, if not more. DM goes for 1500-1700$.

Deal ain't close to worth it unless he's giving you 2 DMs.

I'm not even going to try to figure out your math.  


I think DM is a much more challenging game.  More of a player's pin.  Addams Family is a general crowd pleaser.  Both good games but for different levels of skill.

Hmm.  They say Addams Family average is $3200.   I would consider that my machine should be considered average at least.  Seems that my asking price of $2800 is very fair then?  I wanted to sell it outright for $$ but the more I think about having one less pinball the more I consider that a trade might be a better option. I love to play!

Which one of you guys sold a TZ to a friend of a friend in Airdrie? It supposedly had LED bulbs and was in a basement 'filled with pins'.
