4 ) Indiana Jones ( Stern ) : $ 4,000
5 ) Kiss LE NIB : $ 8,300

 

[BMHouze]

Usually way more than I ever guess.
I guess if I was some Mr. Robot wizatd with a bunch of hot credit card numbers I could bid.
Mayne we should ask the people who commissioned them to tell us what their shill bids are.....

 

[Fred Botelho]

Too funny. Bid on the Kiss LE for me if you happen to find a few of those hot credit cards

 

[Chris Bardon]

WWE at 5300, plus 10% premium, plus HST... Why do I get the feeling that this will end up costing someone MORE than they would have paid had they walked into playdium 2 weeks ago?

 

[Fred Botelho]

Now bare in mind that this is the LE version that's listed on Playdium for $ 9900. But you can get the PRO for $ 6995. So, if it doesn't matter to a buyer to get the LE, they should just head on over to Playdium now and buy it from them. You can usually get them to knock $ 100-200 of the list price. Or get them to include a shaker motor. So bid carefully all you pin nuts

 

[spikedbat]

WWE LE @ $6500 now. That's $8k after taxes and fees. I'm going on my lunch to check out the warehouse.

There are no deals to be had at the playdium auctions now. Not since they went online.

SB moving the acutions on-line is the perfect solution for them as they can shill all of their auctions as much as they'd like without anyone being able to call them on it.

Just got back. The pins are in typical used condition, definitely need to be cleaned up. They seemed to play okay from the minute or two I spent on the Shrek and Indy. Didn't play metallica, it didn't like that great. Most of the arcades they had all had some issue or anothing. Didn't boot properly or were just pretty beat up. I was semi expecting this, but going definitely has given me a better idea of what I should bid on things and not. If you plan to bid i'd go check these games out in person.

Great prices on Air hockey still! LOL

 

[Fred Botelho]

Thanks spikedbat for the info. Care to take a guess as to what you think the final price will be for these pins ?
Here is my guess :

1 ) WWE LE NIB : $ 8,100
2 ) Metallica Pro : $ 5,100
3 ) Shrek : $ 4,200
4 ) Indiana Jones ( Stern ) : $ 4,000
5 ) Kiss LE NIB : $ 8,300

 

[BMHouze]

I was watching the air hockey tables.
I would prefer a 6 x 4 as I don't want to eat up all my space.

 

[luch]

they will most likely all go for more than the average sale price of these games . its the fees and HST that kills it for most

What's the average sale price for these?

 

[atariaction]

what was the final prices?

 

[brad808]

Normally just take Kijiji prices and add 30% is a good estimate. There is no excuses for people to complain or even bother registering anymore since they've been this way for years now.

Be sure not to forget about taxes and the 10% buyers fees.

 

[BMHouze]

I appreciate the listing.
I see air hockey and all the pins went too high for my liking.
Call me cheap.
I just couldn't say 'YES' to bidding on WWE, Metallica would have 'seek and destroy'ed my bank account, KISS would have had 'Beth' up in arms over how much I spent.

 

[SuperPinball]

I bid on a few of the items, but then they started going into stupid price territory. Keep in mind that the condition of many of these items are rough.

 

[luch]

makes you wonder why they don't even damp rag the games .

Would you even bother with that if you were getting this kind of $ regardless?
