I have an old Ballys Slot machine that is Playboy themed. It works great. Any idea on value?

It's not a video slot, but it is Playboy and for some reason that brand tends to sell more and for more. It's also a racy title from the reel pictures, so it may lean towards a gentleman's purchase with no kids around. (Or it goes under a blanket when they are around.)

I'd guesstimate between $400 and $900 for a sale price, but Location Location Location is the key, and you are away from major metropolitan areas which have lots of buyers, so your price may be lower.

Shoot for the stars ($900) OBO and drop after a few weeks if you don't get a sale.

There should be a metal "tag" below the arm on the right side of the machine. There you will find MODEL # and stamped on the top of that tag will be the manufacture date. All helpful info in determining value.
 
I agree with arcadetechgw on the value range. It's appears to be an 873 which is a more desirable but still common machine. The fact that it appears to be an original playboy machine with the themed reel strips to go along with the belly glass is a bonus but also limits the number of potential buyers. Posting a picture of the data plate as coinopshop mentions can provide additional information including whether it left the factory as a game built for playboy or was modified later. Unfortunately for sellers (but great for buyers), there is limited interest in Bally electromechanical machines and they don't generally sell for much. Location matters especially with this machine; a theme that might be shunned in the Seattle area might be more desirable in an area like Reno.
 
Congrats! Mind sharing your sale price to help others?
