« on: September 10, 2011, 10:50:44 PM »

Very suprised if it sells at all at over $1700. Playfield overlays dont count for shit when it comes to pricing a machine.. PF needs restoring not sanding back.
Backglass has been sprayed but no pics of the back and unless i missed something.. all we know its some sort of spray... beware the reluctance to post some pics!.

Cabinet restencil is very nice though

Overlay de values the game. Shame it could not be restored properly. Not worth the asking price.

Fully agree with you Nino, but I find it hard to beleive that anyone would pay $500+ for a skanky overlay which is effectively only a sticker.

CPR re pro'd the Black Knight playfield not all that long ago for the same sort of price, in fact the last few they had were cleared out for about $400 in the bargain basement section.
If they had gone to the trouble of restoring it with a new playfield  it would have certainly made it a far more attractive and well worth the starting price.

Love it... "What you see in the pictures is what you get and includes: One new complete super rare playfield overlay with instruction booklet ( I paid $550 for this overlay on its own back in 2005)"

How can that be a selling point, oh I forgot, it's super rare as in you'll be the only dick with a BK with one installed  @.@

Damn someone with zero feedback won it  @.@

And I was going to wait until the auction finished and offer him $400 for the pin without his super rare overlay.  Surely due to its extreme rareness it must be immensly sort after by collectors all over they world and surely an overlay of that quality would have skyrocketed in value since he purchased it to at least ten times the value, making him one of the luckiest people in the world.

Damn you zero feedback bidder  *)*
