Sinbad Ebay
« on: May 21, 2011, 11:12:59 AM »
Seems to be some heavy bidding on this Sinbad
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Gottlieb-Sinbad-pinball-machine-/140551837170?pt=AU_CoinOp&hash=item20b98ad5f2

Considering the crazy bad peeling on the backglass??

Considering the crazy bad peeling on the backglass??

Backglass looks almost a write off, not sure if this is one you'd easily find a good glass as replacement.

Very fun game, but with the backglass like that it's already at top dollar for this title I reckon given it's never been plugged in (is that to save on knowing about all the magic smoke leaking out?  !@#). Why wouldn't you plug it in and then be able to give an honest appraisal of it's electronic condition?

JD (a member here) sold the machine I originally restored for Creech - here's that thread - http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=225.0

From memory, JD sold it for $2K plus - and it IS worth $2K plus. So the "market" price for a Sinbad (regardless if it is a reconditioned or restored game) is now "set" at $2K plus.

Because JD's restored machine sold for that price, owners think that their game is worth as much. So at least two Sinbads have hit eBay straight after JD's sold - and the EM version "Eye of the tiger".

It is a USA version (from the look of it) and Step down transformers are cheap. All that would be needed is each US machine be plugged in to test etc etc.

This title is worth $250-$400 tops in this condition.

It's clearly labelled a project machine, I don't think I would pay more than $500 for it.

Maybe your bid will happen to be the highest when the dust settles Pete? #@#
