price check on alot of machines about 32

Wow, nice find! I'm still relatively new to this hobby so its amazing to see people unearth these little treasure troves. Speaking with inexperience, I've seen some of those Bingo machines sit on Craig's List for quite a while until they're practically given away. However, with some of those vids, I think it would be worth it.

Now to find one of these hauls near Ohio....
 
Nice to see another Defender pin unearthed. Hopefully, he has the backglass stashed somewhere safe!

What game is next to that Kungfu Master? Is that, was that, a Looping?
 
That Pro Golf looks like it may have been a Falcon Crazy Kong originally :D (cab looks right...similar to a Sega/Gremlin, but not exact, and the coin door is right)
What's the deal with those Bingo pinballs? I'd never heard of them before, but last summer, while on vacation, was driving backroads and saw a pool hall that had a bunch of these (from the outside, I thought they were regular pinball machines until I walked in)

They are an offshoot of regular pinball. The goal is to get a "bingo" with the five balls you are given. You shoot the balls just like a normal pin and then nudge the machine to get the balls where you want them. Later versions had the ability to rearrange the bingo card a bit enhancing your ability to score. This is the best resource for bingo machines that I know of: http://bingo.cdyn.com/.
 
This is a large group! Nice find! So here is my opinion, I do have experience in buying if that counts for anything. I think everyone here is dead on at the $50 to $100 per cabinet, but $100 is the high end for sure. I might hold at $75 ea. You will definately recoup on the name games, you will not on the no name games. Though unpopular, you may want to utilize a no name game to preserve a good game like pacman. IE using monitors, controls, powers upplies etc. Though preserving games is all of our goal, there are some games if brand new in box still simply will not sell. As far as pins go, $300 each is high to me. I would say UP TO $200 each for SS pins, and up to $100 on EM's. This is complete. As you know, pins have a lot of working parts. If Strikes and Spares has a bad display or driver board all of a sudden you are in it at $400 plus rubber and time, and any other parts. Having $450 to $500 in a pin may be too much. Moral of the story is the condition is unknown. Also I have bought soem bulk items just to find they hae been "picked over." Missing boards etc. My red flag is soem of the pins look as if they have been "picked over" Take the time and look. Go in at an offer for $50 ea and 100ea. I would suggest you not state it that way, it sounds cheap......just add it up in your head and make the complete offer ($3000 or what ever it is)
