Nice score on the T3. I'd go for one at that price. It is far more than an "upgraded T2." Much more interesting game with more modes, and several tight ramp/lane shots with timers. I like the metal ramps and the rpg is actually a cool mode. Played T3 a few times this weekend--very fun.
As for South park, think twice before picking one up. Funny show but the pin is shallow and boring, and will get old very quick imo. (I get tired of it after playing just a game or 2 on location!)

I had decided to go for Terminator 3 cuz i alway loved Terminator series and it s newer model.
They wanted it for 2000 but I had offered $1500 cuz RGP rotary is not working (will need fix) and there is minor fixing.. Nothing Major.
He had accept my offer of $1500.
It s nice pin =D
I appreciate all feedback made here... so thank you KLOVERS!!!

I have owned all these games and the Dirty Harry was the hardest to resell. I sold it for $1000 and it was pretty nice. The guy who bought it from me re-sold it back to me a year later for $800. After shopping it out I got $1100 for it.
Whirlwind - A great game. If it has the "Diamond Plate" playfield in it then it's most likely worth the $1600. Most Whirlwinds have the lacquer sys11 playfield in it and most get worn out quickly. They are making a reproduction playfield next year. A Whirlwind without the DP playfield version is priced in the $1000-$1200 range.
T2 - Usually a $1000-$1200 game if decent. Worn ones sell for $700-$800.

Indeed. I was lucky to get that price. It runs 2000+ on Terminator 3. There is one who try to sell for 2,800 here in bay area.

Look at his price. Thats Pin Dealership prices. I got advantage to get that price because that person who sold to me needed space NOW.. not tomorrow. I CIFed him (Cash in Face). He took it.
I was about accept if he decline and demand 1700 or 1800.. I may would have take it anyway. It was nice score.
On other hand im suckered on other games. World goes around and it goes around!

I owned a near mint Who Dunnit and bought it for 1300. I just bought a WCS for 1000. A HUO Doctor Who just sold 2 hours south of here for 1450 about a month ago. I sold a super nice FT (and got more than I paid) at 1800 about two years ago. Get a grip on the insults.

geography has a great deal to do with pricing i have noticed. a whirlwind where i am goes for $1,600-$2,400 t-2 $1,400 to $2,000. you never see dirty harry for sale around here but there is one on route near by.i talked to the op about 6-7 months ago and he said he would shop it out and sell it for $2,000 im about 90 min north of where the 3 pins for sale are. nice score on the t3 by the way.

Drive to Denver.
Currently:
Creech 2900
Junkyard 2400
Hook 1450
Demo man 1350
Not exactly smokin deals except the Creech is pretty good, but these pin prices are much lower than some of you guys have been seeing in your area.
Oh and South Park sucks bad. Like the show, but the pin is awful.

Nice score on the T3... I completely forgot about that game. I'll have to add it to my list of potential next machines..... I had a T2 for a while.... its been years since I've played a T3.

If those are the prices you're seeing them actuall sell for then I'd say you're just in a price inflated area. Generally they aren't that high.

You can't judge anything from CL asking prices. People can post any asking price they want to, it doesn't mean anything. There are people who consistently price well above market value just in case someone decides they have to have one.

Less GEOGRAPHY and more you're a gullible douche if you think those pins are worth the prices you posted.

Hopefully you guys are right on the craigslist postings. I just sent an offer to two different people on craigslist. Both have demolition man pinballs posted. I offered them both $1000 for them. One has his posted for $2350 and the other has it posted for $2000. I think these are pretty over priced so I will be curious to see what they come back with or if they even reply to me at all.
There is one posted on ebay with a day left and it is going for $810. All the others on ebay with the super high price tags on them have zero bids so hopefully that is a wakeup call for these guys posting these games for way higher then they should be.

my guess would be that the one on ebay sells around 1500
if you get your offer accepted, congrats! then go turn yourself in because you stole it lol
