HELP WITH A PRICE - URGENT

[slammer]

A good DINER will come up less than Elvira... Diner is the pick of the 2

too true, as these machines get older, finding a good one is getting harder...

Cheers Angelo

Well those statistics kinda contradict what i said, but over the 5 purchases Elvira was on average some $129 more expensive. For availability, Diner is the most rare... i guess Elvira is a cooler theme- im a sucker for monsters and tits also.

Have to admit, if i were you standing in front of both those machines being told i could have one of them... Elvira would be what id pick, even knowing that i might not get a chance on a good Diner ever again.

On those stats - average price on old momster tits   $2360

Slammer and retropin both give valid points and great advice...

You are also correct in saying that the EATPM is rarely seen and in my opinion both games are probably par in everyway... Both nice games btw...

One problem with the EATPM, be sure to check that massive plastic ramp ( monster slide ramp ) which starts on the left and works it way through to the back and then around to the right, this ramp will almost be impossible to find....

Let us know how this all turns out Brett and good luck !

I have an EPM machine and think its great.  Paid $1800.00 many years ago.  Probably in 2000.  So with inflation etc would think $2500 to $3000 dependant on condition.

Walk in the room with an envelope containing $4000. All going well, you should be loading both pins on the truck.

I probably don't rate these pins as high as you, but that's what I'd be doing.

As Nino says, walk in with $4K in an envelope and another $200 in your pocket just in case he wont budge. If the first offer isn't attractive enough to him then the extra $200 should be the deal clincher.

That would clinch the deal methinks.. 

I've never bought a working or reconditioned machine, it is a lot easier to barter on a project !

Both cool & collectable titles brett

My guess would be around $2,300 to $2,600 each depending on the overall condition.

Elvira & the party monsters is currently on the top of my wish list, well one day perhaps....

Well I've never seen the point of pissing around for a couple of hundred bucks or so if it's something you want. A lot of people drink/eat/smoke that kind of money in a bar over the weekend. If you want it buy the bloody thing.

[silverball]

Both pins hard to get,at least in the conditon you desribe. Why not make an offer on both? You will have no problem on selling if you dont like one or the other. I would offer 4k cash on the spot as mentioned by a few others.
