A restored Addams Family is worth just under or over $6000. Say $5800 - $6200. This would include Pinball Inc / RTBB Ramp and the correct parts. Dealers always list games at ridiculous prices at a means of advertising and a hope of trapping the uninitiated. Then private sellers think  that that's their going rate. Laughable. Most are not even "shopped" to a high standard.

One of my favorite DMDs, but always overpriced.

This is one game I just cannot get into. The theme is a fun one, but the layout just doesn't appeal for some reason, the shot map doesn't grab me. I really think Pat Lawlor had his magnum opus with Funhouse, Addams and TZ are up there, but don't quite capture the completeness I find in Funhouse.

Love the theme, but found the game somewhat lacking... maybe i play it wrong but i seem to only go down the electric chair to get a mode happening.
I once restored a TAF playfield... the Mansion was painful to say the least... didnt enjoy that restore one bit. Wouldnt do another.

My wife loves this title.  It is basic but it is unique and alot of fun.

People rarely part with a Addams unless they get $4500 for a unshopped game, and up to $6500 for one with new ramps etc, new cabinet decals etc.

If u could buy a unshopped one for $4500, then shop it and redecall it yourself etc, u will end up with a nice machine at a affordable price.

There is always a market for a Addams family. People love the audio and the dot matrix display and the gameplay/hand/chair etc.  fun game.
It is surprising to see so many for sale. Usually hard to get more than 1 on ebay at a time.

Could be a bit of excitement around the newer Stern titles encouraging people to let go of their TAF?
