I find it funny, this is being targeted as overpriced (and probably only by $1K from private sellers) but there is a FH for close to $7K on here (close to $4-$4.5K over private pricing) and no one bats an eye  !@#


Lets just forget who is selling the game and concentrate on the presentation VS the price ;

Hand painted touch ups that are clearly done by hand
Cabinet artwork is completely faded
Door is hand painted - Even the coin plastics !
Wrong set of old legs..
Playfield is dirty - Just take a look at the yellow post !
No photos of inside the cabinet or under the playfield

In summary - a re rubbered and re globed container pin with bare minimum time, effort and $ spent on it. Whats is it worth - $2800 maximum as it needs to be reconditioned correctly.

VS

A High End Restored Funhouse - Would be easily in the top 5 Funhouse machines in the country with absolutely everything done ;

Professionally restored cabinet and Next Gen artwork
Mirco playfield
New ramps, plastics set, pop pumper caps etc etc etc
Under the playfield is better than new
Not sure how many hours - would be close to 75.

I highlighted you quote - are you suggesting that this Funhouse game should only be advertised at $2,500 ?
Asking price is $7,000 less (close to $4-$4.5K over private pricing) ?

I've sold several Funhouses - Reconditioned to restored - none of them have sold for less than $3600. Not sure what price dealers sell them for..
