      You don't go to a pawn shop to get top value for an item, you go there because you can sell something quickly versus perhaps taking weeks or months or having to deal with an auction. You are going to lose some value in that exchange...that's how it is, that's how it's been and that is likely to always be how it is. If a perfectly restored one is worth 5 grand then that guy is delusional to think his is worth close to that with a non restored play field and faulty flippers, I mean the thing needed MORE repair even outside of cosmetic stuff. If it's worth 2500 (which is about accurate) then an offer of 1800 in that shop is actually quite generous.

      So lets break this down. You're implying here that you know the actual totally accurate and undisputed real world dollar value of 95% of the items seen on the show that are looked at by an expert. So by proxy you're basically saying that you're an expert in essentially every possible type of item. Well gee golly not sure why they don't just hire you as their full time in house expert. Oh yeah it's probably because you're clearly a clueless nitwit.

    Guy said it had been restored, mec. and elec. This restorations can be pretty costly so Rick would get the machine for the
    price of restoration, also this machine looked great to me.

    The Captain Fantastic pinball machine was awesome. I wasted many a quarter playing it in my youth.

    Being 12 in 1976,I would walk over to the older guys,who would be playing the 6 cards,and they would have a big pile of quarters splattered on the machine.I would grab a hand full and say,hey can I have some of these, and they would yell put them back.I threw them back and said I,m sorry,but I kept 4 or 5. That,s one way I got money to play Captain Fantastic when I was youngster.

    I'd pay $3,000 for it, easily.

    Rick said it was from '77. Try again. Also, the owner is delusional. Yes it is a very nice, clean machine. But no way I'd pay $4500. I might go $2400, but I don't tend to buy super clean pins in the first place. Gimme one for $1700 that has some wear to it. It's fine.

      I think its fair. Its a well known and widely sought pinball machine. I personally wouldn't pay for it but I honestly rather have a wedge head than anything else.
