I'm looking to sell my Fish Tales pin only because I need some landscape work done and need the money to do it. I'm at a loss on what to sell my machine for though. It appears that FT has increased in value the past few years according to Ebay, CL, and that Boston Pinball Repair website. I've seen some crappy ones on Ebay sell for between $1800-$1900. Mine isn't mint by any means but its a solid 8 or 9 out of 10 I think. All lights work, fish topper works, no fading on the cabinet, and the DMD is brand new. I've got a guy that is willing to pay $1500 right now but I think I can get more. Thoughts?
 
Depends on how soon you want your landscaping done. Even if you got more on epay you`d still have to pay all their fees & bs. 1500 sounds like a fair offer & not a low ball...
 
fish

i sold a rough one a yr ago for 900
 
$1500 for a nice, clean, 100% working WMS? Sounds low to me.

Depends on local market conditions and how bad you want to sell.
 
Selling the pin isn't a necessity in order to do my landscaping. Just wouldn't hurt. But I do feel that $1500 is too low an offer from what I've seen lately for a nice FT.
 
I sold mine which was nice except for cabinet fade for $1700. Took me maybe week or two to get it sold easy enough
 
Well, you were right. It IS a $1700 pin all day long. I told him i wouldn't sell it less than $1700 and he didn't blink.
 
Damn Drew I wish I had the cash right now!!!! I would have bought it out from underneath the other guy if I did!
 
I still have a pair of Initial D3 sitdown drivers I'd like to get rid of eventually. :)

As awesome as that would be I don't think I will ever fit a linked pair of drivers down in the basement and if I had that kind of cash I would drop it on another pin!
 
I took apart those things in my garage and carried them into my basement myself. I don't want excuses!
