Paragon, Playboy etc to buy

[frosty44]

Hi Pinners
New to this site, my name is Neil, Can you help? I want to purchase some old pinnies eg: Paragon, Playboy, Space Oddessy, etc.
Where can I buy these from in Australia or with confidence overseas?  Any feedback would be great.
Thanks

I suspect on those titles Australian Pinball Restorations would be able to help. If you PM Strangways (Niño) he will let you know.

Great titles too!!

  and  to AP, Neil 

Are you looking for projects, or fully restored games ?

Playboy appears on eBay often, in varying condition. Paragon is less likely to last long on eBay. No need to buy overseas, they both change hands locally.

Space Odyssey would be relatively easy and cheap to obtain.

Hi

I'm just starting out, so looking for restored pinnies at this stage.

Also would like pharaoh , centaur,

Pharaoh hardly ever comes up for sale..
Centaur often on Ebay  expect to pay $2000 - $2500

Frosty made the mistake of coming out and having a look at my machines 

Nice guy and a fellow tragic from 'back in the day'.

Hope you find some of the games you are seeking soon Neil!

cheers

The playboy machine must be a hot topic at moment brother in law just hit me up to keep a eye out for him. Told him to have a fat wallet tho.

One was listed on Ebay on Gold Coast... $2300, not sure if it sold but it sat for ages without a sniff at it.
One on there now for $2500.
pockets for Playboy dont need to be so deep lately

$2000 is about all it is worth and should ever be worth.

Couldnt agree more.. but we only have to go back 2 years and you could easily pull $3k - $3.5K for a project.
They would get snapped up instantly on Ebay

Yeah that's right mate but the times they are a changing.

Playboy for $2000 ? Where do I sign up for that ? I'll take 10 at that price.

This title is absolute crap condition fetches $2500. Even poorly reconditioned dealer games can fetch $3500 - $4000. Playboy is an iconic title, irrespective of the layout and gameplay.

Price will skyrocket once Hugh kicks the bucket. Evel Knievel was a $2500 pin until he passed away. now you would be lucky to find an average EK for $3500.
