With the collective wisdom here, any idea on what the value is, not necessarily what it'll go for.
It seems in good condition.

Yes, this game is in excellent condition - I have seen it in 'the flesh'

What will it sell for? Any bodies guess on eBay. She is already over $1,000 - so it may go upto $1500

What's is worth? Seems alot of people are after this title - she is a great player, a Gottlieb EM also

[Rod71]

And dont forget the pink pirate flag. Not that there's anything wrong with that 

[Extra Ball]

f**kers have gone mad on this...........I will estimate 1800

[Strangeways]

A Buccaneer in lesser condition went for $2600 around 2 years ago. I thought it was a shill bid fluke.

The next one went for $2000 +.

Both were not as good as this one.

Has all the things i liked in the old Gottlieb machines, 5 rollovers at the top and 3 bumpers, choice

Hows the comment the seller made on his ebay add  " Dont be fooled by project games as they are a load of rubbish, if they were worth fixing the people selling them would have done so."
I always loved this pin but what I dont like is the BG  bright green water , women pirutes dressed in purple pants ? IMO a very ugly long John Silver and his pirutes in the back ground would have been heaps better.

I can never understand why people bid before the last minute of an ebay auction. Surely all you do is keep the total ticking-over.......there is nothing to be gained by it (from a buyers perspective). If you want to make your purchase cheaper dont bid till the near-death of the auction. As a pinball community lets consider making this an unwritten rule. It would suck if a few of us had interest in a particular machine, and due to competitiveness? or some belief that if your in the lead you are more likely to win?...........that we just end-up having machines cost us more.

Totally agree with you Sinbad .

I think they do it just to piss you off Greg

yeah, seems to have pissed off some people...
didn't know there was an ebay etiquette here.
maybe should have read the forum guidelines with more rigour.

[goodolddays]

There is no Forum etiquette here about this (that I know of) ... its just the best way to try and get what you want from Ebay for a cheaper price .. bidding early in the auction just inflates the price

sorry mate their is no rule written or unwritten...........I am just airing a pet hate.

You can bid how you wish.

Bidding early has paid off for me a few times. I just like the fact that once ive bid its done if i win i win
