It started at around the $3500 mark. It looks to be in great condition, but it is not even selling at half that price.

This Spottem has been on ebay for ever http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1939-woodrail-spottem-pinball_W0QQitemZ300311887152QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_15?hash=item300311887152&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50
will it ever sell?


Well... its well known where it was bought from - was bought for too much and now to break even... needs to sell for too much.

 Best advice is to keep it for another 30 years and try sell for that price then.. seller MIGHT get his $$$ then

Here! Here! Right on with all of the above.
also how many times could you play a flipperless pin & enjoy it?
1 maybe 2 minutes if your lucky.

A real project  #@# Backglass is a 8.5, just a bit faded, will buy reproduction later on down the track playfield is a worry :lol but have located and bought a set of reproduction playfield plastics for her! Cabinet hs the wrong design but that is a no brainer.
