GTB King of Diamonds - whats it worth???
« on: November 01, 2010, 07:24:10 PM »
Went unsold for $1500 which i must admit i thought SOMEONE would be prepared to pay for this classic title...

now relisted at $1 start.

Had this been in Brisbane, i would have been prepared to fork out an easy $1200 for it.... one of the top titles that RARELY comes up for sale..

... a great machine!

This is the game that some guys in the US have been working on reproducing as a new title - old outside, new inside. Interesting game, doesn't look like a great player though?? Never played it - anyone here had their hands on one?

It is a classic.

No pictures of the lower playfield and the only clue as to where it is located - It has a "Police certificate" on it  !@#

Youtube video gives more of an idea of the condition (very nice) - but was that a dead left flipper ?

KOD is a great old game, Mark C had one a while back, it went to Sydney.   I recon worth $1000 - $1200.   ^^^

Doesn't do anything for me.  Quite surprised they chose that to repro.
