Re: WHATS IT WORTH ?

Hi Guys.

I have a fully working Playfield/Playfield Kit for a Revenge from Mars Pinball 2000. No errors, all perfectly working and she looks great.

The playfield (and everything connected to it) is immaculate and can slide straight into a RFM that might have a bad playfield or slide into a working Star Wars Episode 1 Pinball 2000, for someone who already has the Pin2000 platform but just wants to play Revenge from Mars instead or SW Episode 1 from time to time.

The playfield is fully working and can be placed into a RFM of Star Wars Cabinet and u can be playing a game within 5 minutes.

I am wondering what people think this fully working and fully populated RFM playfield is worth, as I want to list it soon on ebay, or offer it to a forum member.

Any decent valuations would be appreciated.

What is the playfield worth?  Hard to know without more information.  I guess its worth what you paid for it + profit.

To give an accurate valuation you'd need to know where it came from.  Was it parted out of a water damaged Euro machine or is it the original new playfield from a conversion kit? 
Did you score a NOS RFM conversion kit and its your old playfield?

If its a second hand playfield - has it been shopped?  If so when (ie how long ago)?  If its been done properly - by this I mean fully stripped, cleaned, waxed.  All metal parts cleaned and tumbled / polished.  All playfield plastics cleaned and polished.  Any broken plastics replaced and ramps repaired by a professional.  Underside of playfield - all coils tested, new sleeves, mechs removed and cleaned.  All inserts cleaned.  All globes replaced.  All lamp boards removed and inspected / repaired.  All new rubbers.  All new globes.  All new balls.  Anything less is unacceptable for shopped.

For a second hand playfield for a RFM (shopped, complete and working) I would think $500.00 tops.

For a second hand playfield for a RFM (as is - working) I would think $250 to $350 depending on wear.

Is it a full conversion kit for a RFM?  Ie does it come with a PUB card or a PRISM card for a RFM?  As you probably know its not just a matter of dropping the playfield into a SWEP1..  ^^^ ^^^ ^^^
