Value of near collector quality PinBot?

I spent weeks tearing that game apart and rebuilding it, and my wife walked away on the second ball and said, "I HATE this game, get rid of it" and I had to admit I agreed with her.
That being said, I know a couple of south Texas collectors with major boners for this game. One of them has piled up enough spare parts that he'll be able to play it until he dies (playfields, cabinets, extra machines, boards, LED displays, you name it).
$600 for one in great shape is probably a heck of a deal. They rarely change hands except in beat condition.

Funny you say that, there is a dealer in the area who just e-mailed me tonight with saying he just got a Doctor Who in and would sell shopped for $1350. I looked this game up and my initial thought was how much it looked like a PinBot playfield.
Well I think if its still available on Sat or Sun and its in good to great shape I'll have to pounce on it. Sounds like at the very least I could sell in 6 months or so and make my money back or heaven forbid a little profit.

Go figure the thing sold this afternoon - and not to me. I should of went right over there the night he offered it up. Stupid work.
Back to the drawing board.....again.

Off Topic - Where are you working in KC? I live in KC, but I am in Florida right now. It always seems like the best pins come available when you are 1500 miles away. I saw what looked to be a really nice Theatre of Magic for sale in KC a week ago.

I'm working in the Mirriam/Lenexa KS area. I'm leaving in about one hour. I checked the KC CL last night - didnt see anything that really peaked my interest though.
JeepMonkey:
STL CL seems to have a better selection than KC most of the time.
