A shopped wwf royal rumble-$1500 and a shopped creature from the black lagoon - $2800. Also, anyone know of any up and coming pinball auctions in the midwest area?
 
Yeah, but you have to be aware that if you want specific pins right now and in your local area, you will probably pay a few hundo premium. It's probably worth the extra cost (that would be tied up in shipping anyways) to see the game in person before handing cash.

Shopping is worth money too. If they are indeed properly shopped out, then that's not too outrageous. If they're just wiped down with a rag and new rubbers, then I would point that out and make a slightly lower offer.
 
one of the auction places has been saying there bringing a pinball auction to the columbus area supposedly here maybe end march, its kinda rumor at this point though, i forget the details my guy is back in town on wed i can ask more then.
 
I have no opinion on the other, but if the Creature is in very nice shape and is actually shopped out, $2800.00 is reasonable. I'd still offer a bit less, but that seems pretty fair range to me.

That's a hell of a nice pin - definitely on my Want List.

WWF around my area (Chicago) goes for about $1,000. A CFTBL goes around mid 2K in shopped condition. This is given that they are in good shape and shopped... and not collector quality.
 
Gary,

You need to change your settings. You sent me a PM, but are not accepting PM's. Feel free to e-mail me: midcoastsurf AT hotmail DOT com

Wwf royal rumble-garbage pinball

Just looked at a wwf royal rumble for $1200.could have choked the guy for lying. Wasted my time, gas, tolls. His ad stated on cl a nice, clean shopped pin. Great for family. He, absolutely did nothing to this pin: Playfield was dirty, pinballs looked corroded,the ball kept getting stuck on a switch down by the flippers. This clown would shake the machine to get it loose. What a joke. First off, data east should have been embarassed for putting out such a piece of crap with such an iconic name wwf.my family are big wwe fans, but now i know why this pin is worth nothing. Not worth taking up any room in my basement.i can take this off my want list.

You said in your first post right there you had a possible Creature From The Black Lagoon (CFTBL) offered to you for 2800.00 - what about that?

Your negative experience is clouding your vision. Royal Rumble is a pretty darn cool pinball. The shaker motor is excellent. The only thing I don't like on that machine is the plunger button. It feels tacked on, like they had something much cooler in mind and had to abandon it at the last minute.

I have a friend with a really nice one local, and I love it.
 
You could also download VPinMAME and try a bunch of different machines that way. Although it won't be the same experience as playing one, it may help you decide based on music, sounds, shots, light show, animations, modes, etc.
 
VPinMame didnt do justice on many games for me. NGG for example. On VPinmame, I thought it sucked, but playing live is a totally different experience. The light shows just dont translate well, and you cant get a real feel on the machine in the virtual space.
