"This Pinball has been appraised and valued at $12,000.00 (Urgent Sale)"

I wonder who would be stupid enough to appraise a $4500 pin at $12,000  !@#

Wonder why the dealer appraising it wouldn't jump on it for that low low price of $7.5K!!

I read it as $4500 JUST for the playfield swap (not including the playfield)  ^&^

Playfield did not cost $1200. More like $800. What the seller is saying is that it COST $4500 to swap the playfield, then add $1200 for the playfield = $5700 NOT including the ACTUAL game.
So I'd say $12000 - $5700 = the cost of the game ($6300).

Hilarious !

People on ebay just make things up when it comes to pricing.
I had a lady tell me her Fishtales was worth $8,000 because they only made 1500 of them, and her cabinet wasnt faded at all.

I quickly informed her that they made 15,000 and she was missing a few zero's and that her cabinet was 1 million percent faded with no colour at all.
She told me that I didnt know what I was talking about at all, and that her friend at work had spent some time on the internet looking at USA ebay sites which is where they had come up with their information. She declined my $2500 offer ofcourse, and said she had paid $2500 for it 2 years ago, for which I replied, so why are u asking $8,000 then ?.... what a idiot !  @.@

When you buy a reconditioned machine from a dealer as the starting point it will be difficult to get your money back; spending another $1200 doesn't help!
