Elvira and the Party Monsters Pinball - price check....

What would you pay for a very clean looking one of these? There's one near me at a garage sale but I suspect they think it's gold....
 
1200 to 1500 range is what they bring, + / - depending on condition.

Garage sale, neglected, needing shopped I would not pay more than
800 to 850.00 for one.
 
is that the c/l ad estate sale? if so id go look at it and if its in ok shape go with the $800
if/when they start up with the its worth this much on ebay bit. i ask if i can look inside the pin. then i start pointing out things to the seller like the battery holder. the cpu etc.
let them know in a nice way you know what you are looking at and it shuts down the ebay thing pdq.anyway,let us know the outcome and good luck.

That's the one. I did look at it and the lady said she thought her husband wanted $2500 for it. But she wasn't sure. In any case, I walked away. It did look very clean and I have the phone number if anyone is interested in trying to look at it and talk them down.

It wasn't really an estate sale either. It was a garage sale.
 
The asking price for EATPM has always baffeled me. I have seen it range from $1800 to $3200.

I always thought it would be closer to the $1500 range, but I have never seen one at that price.
 
There was a mint shopped out one up here in Quebec, Canada which sold for $1500cdn but prices for pinballs up here in Canada are so much more than down in the US. It's a great game and I like the game play more than Scared Stiff (imo) but Scared Stiff's skeleton ramp looks really neat.
 
Guy called me yesterday and he wanted $2k for it. Guy had a bunch of pins and this was his last one(1st one he ever bought). So I would imagine it works good.

Based on our conversation, it sounds like its in average shape. Some playfield wear. Did not sound better than mine, so I was not interested in driving up to see it.. He was going to send me pics, but he never did.

I would think $1200-$1500 would be a fair price for tht one. I traded a stargate vid +cash(I think it was $250) to get mine 8+ years ago. If the game was excellent shape, $2500 would be reaosnable.

i have saw them for around $1200 near me and in ohio. there has been a couple for that much.....i would jump to go get one for in the $800s.........$2500 is insane crackhead prices
 
It was over the winter during my "get me outta this hobby" phase. :) ill email the Guy and ask.

Ahhh... I wondered about that "phase" of yours. For a time, I knew you were trying to get out and then all of a sudden you had a few kick-butt pins... then you had ALOT of kick-butt pins! :) I think most of us have been there at least once. Heh, I've sworn off vids this year unless it's something I've always wanted.

:beerchug:
 
Well Jeff I just got off the phone with this guy and he still has it for sale (8 months later!) but says a guy from nyc offered him 3500 for it (broke with some playfield wear). If that guy doesnt take it he may take his origional asking price of 700 :D.

I hope the nyc guy isnt someone on here, fess up whoever you are!

Ps if you want his number Jeff i will pm you it.

Uh, yes... please. ;)

Any idea on what's broken or how bad the wear is? Just curious.

Thank Jason! :beerchug:
