Assuming it's in pretty good shape, great playfield.

What should a guy pay for it?
 
hey tronguy,is that the cftbl on sac c/l? if the hologram is working id grab it. that seems to be a fair price. besides if you dont jump on it the san jose shark (sean casey)will.

Artwork/Toys = 10/10

Gameplay 5/10

eh, the guy is buddies with one of the members at the country club I work at. I have an inside track, but I'm not in the habit of dropping $2600 on things. I'm not too concerned if I miss out on it.

I had a deal for a comet pin, but it fell through. $800-$1200 is probably what I really want to spend on a pin. Probably some type of late 80's or early 90's pin.

how good is police force (and price range?)
 
I snagged an awesome police force up here for $700, but also seen them sell for $1000 range
 
There was a police force in that price range near Dallas not too long ago. Played around with it a bit on emulator and decided it wasn't for me. Funny theme though, and I like the cop car on the ramp delivering the balls.

Agreed! I thought I was the only one. I love everything about CFTBL, except playing it. I don't hate it, but it just doesn't grab me. I really wish it would...the theme and art are right up my alley!

Price range as others have said, $2500-$3k+, usually closer to the high end. Less than that would be rare and probably hammered. More than that if mint.
 
Typically CFTBL is a 3K + machine, depending on condition. I had one for a couple of months, and ended up selling it for $2300 and a Judge Dredd machine that needed a little work.

I agree with the comments about the gameplay. I wanted to love it, but after about 100 plays it just wasn't a 'A' list pin for me.
