NFL PINBALL FOR SALE
« on: May 28, 2007, 01:32:12 am »
Rare NFL pinball machine, totally shopped out, new rubbers, entire playfield and plastics cleaned, plays perfect as it should.  Need 4000.00 for the machine.  NY GIANTS currently, but you can change it and make it whatever team you want.   email  sales@markades.com if serious,  will NOT take lower offers, this machine will sell for 5k easy when football starts.  Thanks, GAME ON.

thanks for your advice genius,  for space purposes, I'd like to move the machine.  I offered the good people that visit this board a discount here on a rare machine.  those who are NFL fans , could care less about how the game plays.  this is for WEALTHY people who like having something that no one else has.  NFL is the lowest produced STERN machine.  It's interesting that you speak for EVERYONE who may visit this website, must be nice to KNOW EVERYONE and EVERYTHING.  Please, tell us where you gained such knowledge ?

That sounds like someone I want to buy a complex used machine from.

FWIW, in terms of pinball market value, pinballjim was dead accurate.

Here at BYOAC we look after our own.  Your price is way, way, way above market value unless you have a Medieval Madness hidden inside the NFL body someplace.

Seeing as how the latest Pirates of the Carribean, Family Guy, and the upcoming Spiderman sell brand NIB for $4995, I don't see how a NFL would sell for $4000, unless it's to a Giants fan who has more money than sense.

I think it's funny that, seeing as we sell pinballs both old and new all the time, we NEVER get people asking for an NFL pinball.  We get lots of requests for Addams Family, MM, South Park, Theatre of Magic, etc... NEVER NFL.

The reason the production run was so low has nothing to do with value.  It ran low because:

1)  It was limited to certain markets.  People in Dallas didn't want to buy a Giants one, for instance.
2)  It wasn't as fun as advertised.  Too much similarity to past pinballs.
3)  It wasn't selling, so the production was cut short.

And before you question my "qualifications", we've been selling and servicing pinballs since 1989.  We are higher-priced than a lot of people because we shop games out completely, warranty our work, offer trade-backs for life, and sell at retail.  Even so, a nice NFL would sell in our shop for probably $2500-3000, but that's because we sell for retail.  We have plenty of customers who could write everyone in the US a check for $1000 and still have money.  Funny how none of them own an NFL.  Monopoly?  Yes.  Addams Family?  Yes.  LOTR?  Yes.  NFL?.  No....

It would be more like 300 billion, but still pretty unlikely.

I don't really care so long as I get my $1000.

300,000,000 X 1,000 = 300,000,000,000

Doh.   :P

I always crack up when people say things like, "easy fix!"

That phrase right there is what has kept me from buying a pinball yet. It gets thrown around quite a bit on ebay. What makes it even worse is when it is accompanied by a "I'm not an expert with pins" or something like that.

Eh, just double check the price against an RGP search and maybe ping someone you know and trust.  It's not too hard to find a decent priced budget pin with a little legwork.

this is for WEALTHY people who like having something that no one else has. 

Wrong place for this...Don't know many wealthy folks that hang out in diy boards.  They just hire people! ???

Of course that excludes the likes of Saint and others who have probably made millions off of books/hardware/artwork, etc.   ;)

I was going to write an acerbic response to this nonsense (last NFL I saw for sale close to your price range was for the Bears a few weeks before the Superbowl ... and I don't think he sold it), but it seems that you already got slapped around on this.

Cheers

Your price is way, way, way above market value unless you have a Medieval Madness hidden inside the NFL body someplace.

I've got a World Cup Soccer 94 I'll sell for the same money.

It's MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the NFL machine.

:D



Indeed...well...at least it's not a STERN   :cheers:
