Seems a bit expensive at $460 (sorry if it's somebody on this forum).

Suppose it all depends on how badly you want it and what condition your current playfield is in.

no they are not on the forum
and to get 1 part i need it will cost me $70
there are a lot of parts that i will use, plastics, ramps, fire plug assembly between flippers, the play field itself, mine is pretty badly worn and has been roughly  touched up,
then there are the flipper assemblies i need for my pinbot,
and the coils will come in handy for spares.

when you add it all up there wont be much difference in price.

and the fire plug cam is hard to come by. 

then i can use part of my old pf to fix the broken pf on the jokerz

and i need an apron for the jokerz also,it has a nasty dint and some of the tabs broken off.

Beaky, I imagine Nug might want something off that once he has time to look at anything else other than CI which has him completely  used up at the moment. Probably a little dear, but when you add up the cost of the parts plus the benefit of the game specific bits and the chance of onselling some bits, might not be a bad deal at all.

I dont think you will find a going rate for most pinball parts it deppends on how bad the seller want to get rid of it and how badly you want it?

I though maybe it was coming from Sydney or something !

I think you have more costs in SHIPPING rather than the cost of the playfield.

Actually, .de stands for deutschland, ie Germany. Sounds like half the cost is for the playfield, the other half for shipping.

I reckon it's all down to availability. Any Fire parts seem to be hard to come by and if you end up using some of the other bits on other machines I say well done. P/F looks in good nick so all the other bits I would consider a bonus. I had a devil of a time a few years ago trying to get a good used FS P/F and ended up with one from Sweden and the guy de-populated it for me for free to save me on freight.My 2c worth.
