Help Which one do I sell.
« on: December 27, 2014, 01:31:38 AM »
Hi all , I need help. I have to sell a machine to fund another. I have narrowed it down to two. Paragon or Harlem Globe Trotters. Harlem is in very good original condition with factory mylar playfield 10/10 ,Backglass 9.5 with no peeling but one small scratch. Cabinet 8.5 with some fading and minor scratches. Also some board work to make more reliable. Paragon is not as nice condition with some backglass bubbling , playfield in good condition with minor wear, some cab touch-ups probably an 7.5/10. Both machines play nice . Which one do I sell ?  ^&^

OMG, what a decision! I love HGT for the speed of play and Paragon for the artwork. If there was a machine with both, then the decision would be easy. In your case I tend to swing towards keeping the Lady and the Lion as you will be looking at machine ALL the time. You would miss the bounce and speed of Harlem but then again go out the back and shoot a few hoops. When you get tired, come back inside and enjoy the beauty of Paragon.

The one that gets the least play should be the one you sell.

Depends on which machine you are looking to buy?  %$%

Paragon market demand seems a bit flat recently, though.

Sell HGT.

HGT is a good title. Paragon is a great title.

You might not have any choice... in fact you might struggle to sell either!

I agree too, paragon has flooded the market ATM and demand has been met. So I'd sell the hgt.
