any thoughts on that one? must have some major problems if the dealer doesn't want to fix it or am I wrong in my thinking?

[Pinballer]

Yes, I'm sure you are right. He never lets a chance go by to sell for bid dollars. You can rest assured this will be a PROJECT machine.

Too much work.

The playfield has a lot of wear and would be unsuitable to recondition. Would be a good machine if you have a spare playfield,

Gosh this project went for $1009. I must be missing something here. Maybe thats why i dont have many projects in my collection. I must be looking at too low a dollar.

$1009 best of luck to the new owner

Id say your head is where it should be. $1000+ is too much for this project

[Crashramp]

Jeez that surprises me. I wouldn't have thought it would make those sort of dollars. I'd bid on the Roller Disco but didn't end up with it. It went for $764.89 which was a bit higher than I was willing to go on it sight unseen and without boards and displays. But who knows the playfield looked ok. Actually if you compared it to the BK playfield then it looked great in the pics. Anyone here pick it up?

I think a lot of bidders get caught up in the "heat of battle" with those 1cent auctions without approaching it objectively as to actual worth or considering the financial outlay they are in for.

Plus labour costs are grossly undervalued in pinball restoration.

Then the issue will be the amount of $$ than needs to be spent to restore the machine. Unless they are "Holy Grails", then it is best to stay out of the bidding wars.

 What's a ball park cost to restore that pin to former glory

What's a ball park cost to restore that pin to former glory 

About 100hrs plus parts 

That was one over priced pin
