As is it a fun pin? It seems to have decent reviews on IPDB, but I figured I would ask first hand from some of you folks. I have been a wrestling fan my entire life, so the theme is very intriguing. Does it hold up in a home situation? Anyone who owns/used to own one have any thoughts good or bad?

Here is the pin in question:

The seller sells on CL all the time here, so its been serviced/shopped according to him. He wants $1900 for it, but I wouldn't be able to spend that.
 
A guy in our gameroom group has this pin. I knew from pinmame that I would like it, and playing the real thing confirmed it. If you liked wrestling in the early 90's you will LOVE the theme. The shaker motor is really cool on this one too.

I think it is a great pin, but the asking price is way too high.
 
Man... I would LOVE to find one of those!

I agree that the price is too high. Nice game though. I wouldn't be surprised to see a casual buyer pay that.
 
Yeah, from the pics the PF looks awesome. The only wear you can see from the pics is around the flipper buttons. Its been for sale for a few weeks now, so Im wondering if the price would be negotiable at all? What do you guys think a fair offer would be (again, I have no clue when it comes to pins).
 
I've never played it, but it looks to be in really nice shape. At $1900 either a die hard WWF fan will pick it up or he will be sitting on it for a while. Offer 1K and see if he bites, if not at least it shows that you are interested and if he needs to sell it you'd be on his call-back list if he decided to lower the price.
 
That link is very helpful, thanks. $1200 is much more doable than $2000 (for me anyway, heh). It all depends on how the seller is, I guess.

Yeah, I think the theme might help me out a bit when it comes to negotiating. I will send him an email and see what he says.
 
This pin is on my list to get if they come up at the right price. I'm personally not willing to go more that 800 or so for this one, but I'm cheap. I was a little HULKAMANIAC in the 80's and 90's and would love to add this one to my lineup.
 
There was one here at last year's US Amusements auction. I bid early on it, but it ended around $1400-$1500. It didn't look as nice as the one pictured here. I was a fan of wrestling back then, but I think I would only want it if I had a few other pins.
 
Damn you, Jow! Now I want one!

Me too, brotha. This guy sells on CL all the time though, so I have a feeling he is retail(ish), and wont want to be negotiating on his prices at all. We will see.

I did see a new Stern box in his garage so you could be right. Doesn't hurt to check it out though...
 
That's a little high. One just sold on the Denver Craigslist for $600 Unshopped, but in good physical condition.

Yeah - it's a $1000 or less game. For $1900 you can get a Whitewater or some other awesome Williams pin. I'm not a Williams snob....but - still, perspective! :)
 
I'm still waiting to hear back. I'm not expecting any kinds of deals :)
 
Dang, this one is $850 (un-shopped), but I would need to ship it...

Looks nice, too.

Not surprisingly, here was his response:

I appreciate your interested in the WWF pin, unfortunately all of my prices are firm. I can work with you regarding some type of payment schedule if it is an issue of cash flow.
Oh well.
