Bally World Cup Soccer Pin Price check...should i get it?

Hi i have a OPPORTUNITY to get a Bally world cup soccer. it works great plays perfect just needs to be cleaned and shopped and all new rubbers installed. I can get it for $700. Im NOT a fan of soccer at all but hear the game is really fun. ive thought about getting it cleaning it enjoy it for a little while then sell it to buy the pin i really want Jurrasic park. So should i get this pin and what it worth? i dont buy to flip ever but this time if i do buy it it will get sold later on to buy my grail. LMK what you guys think.
 
I don't know why you would even have to ask,but what are you waiting for,you won the pinball lotto,hurry up man,go get it before its gone,it's worth at least double what your about to pay for it.oh,and your lucky I don't know where it is,because I would be on my way to get it right now,it's war out there!Good Luck,everyone on here local to you is looking to find where this deal is.HURRY UP!
 
lol...i just got done talking to the guy and im going to pick it up after he gets off work tonight. its not advertised anywhere so nobody will find it....i hope..lol! i was pretty sure its a good deal but was wondering how the game play was...will i find i want to keep it and just keep looking for a jurrasic park?
 
It's a way better game than JP , you won't be sorry. Same game designer as cv,totan,tom

700....man....I hate your guts right now, lol. As stated, easily worth double after being shopped out. :p

My wife hates the theme. She's lucky we found other pins first.

WCS is a fantastic game. Great for experienced and beginning players. At $700, that is a no brainer. You could sell it for twice that in a couple of days.

You should sell to me for 1000.00
 
look carefully at the playfield and make sure there isnt wear

if there is, talk him down on the price

look at the cab
does it work 100 % ????
general illumination work 100 % ????
that's an easy fix usually but can run into problems and $ depending...

at first glance it seems like a deal but
plastics cracked ?
what about the soccer ball ? ring worn around the bottom ? black with dirt ?

it all adds up fast

This is bad advice,if you were going to look at this machine for full price of 1800-2000,this advice would be sound,at 700 you speed there,if the game is a basket fine,it's priced to be a piece of shit.If it needs a ball go and buy one,he has already said its unshopped,there is plenty of room in the price to shop and make the game mint,and still sell it and make a profit.if thats what your looking to do.Why beat the guy down at 700,that's just being greedy and stupid.

Right. If it is complete, the parts alone are worth well more than $700.
 
So did you end up getting it? I am jealous as this one is on my want list someday (and I don't like soccer either), but I have never seen one that I can remember for less than $1400.

if the game needs a new playfield
how much is one of those if you can get them

WCS '94 are worth, 1300
1500 if you have an real nice one

always try and get the price down is what i do but then again, i am a capitalist in that regard. he can say no and no damage done
many times they say yes

you can fork over what he's asking without trying, i don't care

Yeah, just pay the 700. Unshopped, that game is worth at least 1200 right now. Shopped, pretty much 2000.

The market is nuts right now. You can't go off of the price guide because of fluctuations the past couple of months.

If you're going to shop it, expect to replace the ball (50-100 bucks). A common broken plastic set for 50-75, or a complete set for 125-150. Plus, whatever else you need.

For 700, if the thing wasn't in a fire or something, don't bitch, just grab it.

If anyone you know is selling a 1300 wcs please forward the info to me,I do not own one,and would love to complete my collection seeing as how I already have TOTAN,TOM,CV,would like a WCS,also let them know if it needs anything Iam willing to offer 600.00.
 
Hi everyone yes i did get it and its really nice. wont need much cleaning...but needs a couple plastic pieces. im dealing with my moms open heart surgery at the moment so wont be able to post pics or real details for a few days but will....and yes $700 was a amazing "i stole it" price. im not sure what im going to do with it as i really want a jurrasic park or baywatch but for now im going to clean it shop it and have a little fun with it. thanks for all the input you guys gave
 
also let them know if it needs anything

huh ?
never did think you were serious but now, you're just not making sense
lol

did a little looking but i did not come up with a price on a playfield

will tell you what i did to get many of the deals i worked out
but you probably already tried this so this is for everybody else

went to a pinball location, got the number of the operator off the pinball machine and called them up
somehow, i don't remember, made an appointment with them and went over there and talked games with them
easy and fun
definately suggest you don't talk like some of the nonsense you type here, you will "strike out" for sure

here's some of the deals i worked out
had to put it all on my credit card
my monthly payments would make a young girl blush
got an INDIANA JONES for 1600
MEDIEVAL MADNESS for 3000
ADDAMS FAMILY for 1200
DIRTY HARRY for 400
WCS '94 for 400
DEMOLITION MAN for 400
BLACK ROSE for 650
WHO DUNNIT for 650
another WHO DUNNIT for 800
SHARPSHOOTER for 50
ROLLER GAMES for 400
GENIE for 100
ROLLER DISCO for 100
DEVIL RIDERZ for 100
TOUCHDOWN for 100
uhhhhhhhhh, what else did i get. cant remember
oh, parts !
too many to list here now

had a lot of fun haggling with them, i highly suggest doing that with everyone. kind of like that show "American Pickers" or "Barter Kings"

fun stuff

one of them still has:
MARS ATTACKS
2 STAR WARS E 1's
NASCAR
NBA FASTBREAK
FRANKENSTEIN
uhhhhhhhhhh, there's even more
they had all these ones in this back room. parts galore

who wants to go in with me for the rest ?
can't absorb what's left by myself at the moment

need more room !
need more money !

hard to decide what to sell and what to keep is the worst

long winded stories are no fun without a couple pictures

the ROLLER GAMES with the DIRTY HARRY back behind it
the WCS '94 with empty boxes on top

OK well after a few days of my mom being in the hospital i finally went to pick it up. After all was said and done i ended getting it for $600.00. I really wasnt going to offer less after i read all the responces but i had the full $700 with me so figured why not try and he said yea his wife wanted it out of there extra room (how cheap could i have gotten it for i wonder??:)lol.

So it was in far better shape than i expected. It has about 3-4 pieces of plastic bolt ons cracked and the goalie is missing from the moving arm (where can i get one of those from??) other than that its really nice. The playfield has NO wear anywhere and is just dirty from not being shopped in a long time...if ever. the only cab damage is in the very top of the backbox corner he hit it bringing it into his house when he bought it (as i lowered the backbox down to move it he said he had no idea they moved and brought it into his house with it up and the legs on!) Do they make or sell the side art so i can redo the backbox later on? from the pictures after it is shopped and the few cracked plastics replaced what do you guys think its worth. I have to admit its a FUN game and after a while i forget its soccer....but i still want a jurrasic park so might end up trading or selling to get one....or HELL keep it and just add JP to the growing collection!....for now enjoy the pictures.....

So other than buying a new soccer ball can this one be restored? theres nothing wrong other than being dirty and faded.

AND YES that is a wine bottle cork holding up one of the platic ramps. it was in there when he bought it and thats how i got it. if you remove it it goes to low to let the ball travel through the ramp...so ill have to address that when i get ready to shop it out.

Good find. The pf may not be "faded" per se... It may have come from the factory like that.

Far as I know, they do not make cab art for wcs. You need a ball, which you can get from anyone. Check little shop of games or mad amusements first. They may have the fiberglass Frame for the goalie. I have a decal if you need it.

Love the cork. You're missing a hex metal standoff between the two ramps. Do you have a close up pic of that area? I might have that as well.
