I've been given an indicative price of $4,000 for a fully-shopped Eight Ball Deluxe, but I am hoping to pick one up a bit cheaper than that. There was one on Ebay recently went for $2,125 with a fault but looked good.
A fully restored EBD may command that kind of price. Depends on the demand. I'd wait it out and a cheaper option will present itself.
Yes, I'm waiting on the second Silverball container - might be just in time for Christmas! Anyway, his offer of lay-by appeals to me as I am trying to fund the hobby from a junk mail and local newspaper round ($50-$70 per week). I'll see what he has left on the first one as well, as I am keen to get my hands on a pin.
