I am looking for assistance on making on offer on both of these. Both are in very good cosmetic condition and working. I personally have not seen them, but a friend of mine did see and play them. It is a motivated seller and I want to be fair on my offer.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
$3500 as a package deal to a motivated seller would be fair. RFM is the higher pull here. $2K / $1.5K split.

Personally I'd negotiate up from $2500, hoping to land somewhere between 3 and 3.5
 
~$3500 for TSPP and ~$2500 for RFM in nice shape ready to play.
The prices go down from there.
Package deals typically warrant a $200-$300 price break.
 
I disagree. Those prices may have been accurate a few years ago, but the pin market has nose dived just like vids.

Pinlistings.com has a TSSP that sold in July for $2800. And Mr Pinball lists a few RFM machines at around $2500 too.

A motivated seller would bundle both machines as a group sale at much more of a discount than $200-$300. Key word here is 'motivated.'

I still say you should be able to nab both machines for under 3.5.
 
All of this is assuming the seller actually cares about the pin market. If they do, then this whole conversation is moot - KK is not gonna get them for a dime less than $5K.

I assume nothing. Sales history on pins is NOT reliable info. Pricing is all over the place. Within the past year I've seen nearly the exact same FP sold for $1000 and given away for free. No shit. Right time, right place, right buyer, right seller. They're not commodities, let's not fool ourselves into believing they can be priced as such.

Personally, I'd ask the seller what they want for the pair of them. Get an idea on their needs.

"Give me an idea of your ball park price range, and I'll tell you whether or not we're gonna strike a deal here."

I ALWAYS come in low and work up. The whole mentality of 'scaring' away a seller is just ludicrous IMHO. Cripes, people haggle over a sweater at a garage sale, for cripe's sakes. I hardly doubt that a motivated seller will be 'offended' at an offer that's too low. They'll just say "no."

And it's not like these are grails for the OP. He's simply interested in making an offer.

No, this is not at all the case.
Not where I am and not anywhere along the east coast. Anyone who has been actively buying and selling will tell you the same thing. I haven't been following prices west of the mississippi but if you find it to be true where you are, congratulations; you are very lucky.

I happen to be watching both of these pin prices closely as I own a HUO RFM and looking to possibly add a TSPP.

HUO TSPP seems to be advertised at $3500ish and sit for a while...the same with shopped routed machines @ $3000. I would guess they probably sell somewhere around this number

RFM is a strange machine..once of my favorites but just doesn't get much love.
I've seen them sit at $1500-$1700...I've also seen no takers @ $2500 for a HUO

There was a RFM and EP1 both HUO on RGP for $4700..was bumped to death and not sure either was every moved

Obviously depending on condition I would agree...come it at 3k assuming routed unshopped and hoping for a steal and move from there
 
BINGO. There's some collaboration.

The pin market might be hoppin' out East (and West, I'm told) but here in blue collar country, $3K is still buying a car, much less luxury pins.
