afm price check

Usually goes from $4000-$5000. Ask the op to shop it and offer $4500. Pinsider estimate is $3500-$4000 but haven't seen that yet.
 
Afm

would estimate 5500-6500 for one fresh off route--those babys have shot up in value over the last 6 months--one sold here on the forums for around 7200.00 I think (sold FAST) and several have sold on ebay in the 8000.00 range---but condition is everything--
 
what should i pay for one fresh off route?

As low as you can get it for...sometimes ops aren't aware of what things are worth in the "Collector World" ...not to mention, it's off route. Time is money. I bought my Monster Bash from a route operator...he was happy to get $4k from me. Some might say I "stole" it....but keep in mind I had to take the entire thing apart, clean and polish everything, do paint touchups to worn wood, order new parts, replace every single switch, rubber, and bulb, put in a new DMD ...and eventually I'm going to have to do new cabinet decals. Operators don't want to do all that work - and their price should reflect that.
 
I would not pay more than say 5K. Remember replacement parts are both time consuming and expensive. If the game was working 100 percent, then the op would keep it on route. If the op says anything about restored games selling for 8K, then point out that the replacement playfield alone is 1K, plus a lot of time to install. I would want the game around 3500 (at the very most if it has a bad playfield & cab).

Like Rarehero stated, get the game as cheap as you can.

Good luck getting a routed one for under $6k. Whether they actually sell or not, most people are asking $7500-$8500. Unless you find an op that doesn't follow the market, expect to pay at least or close to $6k
 
Apparently, I rock. working 100% w/ led display and saucer mods.. on a routed machine no less. I only had to give my second born for it. Which is okay, because I did not pay that much for him.
 
Is the poster not seeing the MI one for less than 4k on the forums? If I had the coin I would be halfway home with it by now.
