Goodluck to the seller, but is this title really that desirable? 2.3k with 1 day to go  :D

Funny caused I passed this game in for $1,500 last year.

Is it worth that kind of money - you bet - for Beatles fans this would be the ultimate.

Wouldn't be surprised if it went for $3,500 - $4,000

But Tony its not the Beatles, its the Bootles lol. In no way can it be called a genuine Beatles collectable.
Looks like I stand educated though, as it amazes me what ppl will pay.

Bally did want to call this game The Beatles for the history lesson but couldn't for obvious reasons.

Herb Silvers in the US did reproduce the backglass a few years ago as The Beatles

IMO - top shelp game from the late 1960s.

No it isn't the only one in Australia as the eBay post - I know of 2 others here and one sold for around AUS$750 on eBay about 2 years ago

By all accounts - the game is nothing special, but saying that - owning one of these is what i desire.
Apparently, it looks really cool all lit up but thats as far as it goes.
Im a big Beatles fan and love the artwork on this game - its classic 60's.

These games fetch real good money as Tony pointed out and if the bugger turned one in at $1500 then i want to know why wasnt given the chance to buy it!! !*! !*!

They couldnt get the rights to have "BEATLES" written on it, but this pin screams out its era.
Will easily hit $3K if not more... and i want one.

Hows this for a line up..

Beat Time,
Cpt fantastic
Rolling Stones
 Nugent
KISS

Now THATS a collection with a theme

If I had to sell all my pins bar 1 it would be Nugent as the keeper. Not enough rock themed pins made IMO.
