It was a Superman for 200$ passed on it. Playfield was good wearwise, but had broken plastics, broken standup targets, broken pop bodies and rings, backglass had flaked off a big chunk, entire left side of the cabinet was painted white or stripped, and there was what looked like rust spots on the PCBs....
Top it all off, one of the local resellers, iTechArcade, showed up, tried to intimidate my wife out of buying it by asking her if she knew what she was doing, that she might be getting in over her head, that he does it for a living, that he would pay more than the asking price, could resell it for 3500$ (LOL!!) when he's done doing a few things to it...
I.
Hate.
Dallas.
Bostonpinball has 47 tracked sales.. 921 average, 295 low, 2900 top.
No, I don't think he'll get 3500$ for it. I do think that I'm going to start a new philosophy though...if I can get a machine under the price they have listed as the minimum, I'm going to buy it if it's complete, regardless of condition.
If I had know that guy was there and I had been there, I would've bought it just to make sure he didn't get it, but only found out about it being him and him being a dick after my wife had left.

What a scumbag. Kind of a moron too. You don't want the seller overhearing you spouting off about a totally ridiculous resale price. People generally don't like being taken advantage of.
