Hello Everyone,

I've got some space cleared in my basement and want to begin stocking my games room. After searching the 'net here's the pins I like. I haven't played them ever, just like the way they look and feel they would be fun to have in a starting collection. I'd like to get  a CV, TOM and FH.

These seem really hard to find - what's a ball park price for these? Anybody have ones they'd like to sell?

TIA

Well you ceartianly are starting off with a bang

CV runs $4k+
ToM is $3k+, nice examples running $3500 or so
Funhouse is a little more reasonable at under $1k

Huh?? Funhouse is going to run you between $2 to $3 depending on how nice it is. $2500 is a good budgeting number to start with.

CV you can find right now for sale in Montreal which is not common to see.

When I was hunting for ToM I looked at 4 of them that were all $3500+ and not so nice before I found the one I got elsewhere. I think you would be beating the odds at $3500 from my experience with this title.

Whoops, my goof. I looked at the wrong Funhouse in the price guide. Yeah $2k+ is right. Sorry guys.

Well I don't know if I would call 200 of a pf "Ultra Rare". I also thought sample games had some Sys 11 boards and the start button protruded like Sys 11. "Ultra Rare" would be the "P" target of STEPS at the top next to the mirror like the flyer shows.

It's nice no doubt, but the one I picked up for $1500 or $1600 (I forget) was plenty nice too.

For $2K less I can overlook a few things.

Thanks for the comments and prices everyone.

... I wonder if these machines will appreciate in value over time.
