Comet ramp FS on eBay - big $

It was less than $100.00 when I viewed it.....I've seen alot worse. The highest I remember seeing was for Banzai Run. The main ramp fetched over $500.00!!

Yeah... I was expecting to see something to actually get excited about. Color me not excited. If I needed one I would gladly pay ~$100.

If it goes up to an insane price then I will be excited :)
 
Yep...It will definitely go for a few bills when all said and done. One of the most sought after repro next to Genesis ramps....

for some reason i thought the big deal one for comet was the twisty ramp in the upper left, i think its orange plastic, very thin, they always are messed up.
 
Surprising.

My center ramp is fine. It's the twisty ramp on the left and the ramp on the right with the 3 holes that are cracked. I can't see the middle ramp ever cracking - it doesn't take the kind of abuse the other two do.

Yeah the original orange corkscrew ramp was junk! I've seen soo many beat to hell and I was on a lookout for one a couple years back cuz mine had the black repro one....Later to find out that it was near impossible for an original orange one to survive...BAA did make a repro of the orange one recently. I believe I've heard the the cycle jump one is in the works but nothing on the main Comet ramp....
 
Even if the clear plastics don't break, they still fog up and eventually start getting all blackish from the ball rolling over them. So there is a lot of demand to get replacements for the dirty ones as well as the broken ones.

The $96 that the auction is currently at isn't really too high for a big clear plastic ramp. In fact that's about the going rate for most reproduction clear plastic ramps. Heck a set of all 7 ramps for Whitewater runs at $600!

Well my bad. I've only bought the orange ramp in the upper left and it was cheap. Still wondering why there aren't more repro pinball parts like there are for arcades. Boggles.
