Robert Winter recently was asking $25000 for a NIB Scared Stiff.
Could be the same machine?

Maybe this one is destined to stay in box forever. One slit to open box will deflate the value by at least 10K.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

You are spot on.  ^^^

I just contacted the seller and it's the same guy.
http://robertwinter.com/pinball/ss/ebay/index.htm

He had another one that he brokered the sale of about 10 years ago.

This is another that Elvira had given to her as part of the licensing deal with B/W back in '96.

Apparently she has more NIB machines, but he is not at liberty to say how many.  ^&^

I think i'd wanna definately SEE the machine inside before purchasing for $30k, or even just $10k for that matter.....

You never know what gremlins are hiding inside, is it corroded from poor storage?, drop-damaged? or other????

So you gotta drop $10k off the box just to open it  :-)

Yep.. imagine that.. a pinball box all sealed up with nothing but a big square lump of timber inside.. you cant open the box as its then only worth a fraction of the price..

Once again, im reminded of the cockney barrow boys..." who will give me ten quid for whats on my mind?"

... and up go the hands!

I'm sure it was a nice box when it was new but it probably smells a bit and has a lot of wear and tear ^&(
