Hello all, downsizing the pinball collection. Any thoughts on pricing
my Bally Indianapolis 500? Cabinet has no fade. Cliffy protector on
the turbo hole. Plays 100%. Turbo plastic is broken as usual though.
Playfield is in great condition, but does have above normal wear at
the right inlane where the ball drops off ramp. Did I mention the
cabinet has no fade?? Thanks for your opinion. Enjoy! Will be for sale
in Bay Area, California if interested.

I figure a nice one is worth about $2200 now. I sold mine to a guy in Morgan Hill in January 2008 for $2000. That one was darn near perfect (no fade, no wear, etc). I miss that game.

So you think in 5 years your game has appreciated 200 dollars? Ok. I
agree with Ed. 3k+, try to find a nice one.

Negative. The one I had was darn near perfect. I think one in "Very Good" condition might be worth about $2200 now, but what do I know? Mr. Pinball 2013 says $2125.

3K+?

Sounds like pinside pricing. Especially when one was for sale a few
days ago for 1750.

Where was it for sale? Sub 2500 nice I500 are rare. Turbo impeller
unobtainium.

That was a decent I500, but it was faded.

One with a real nice unfaded cab seems like a 3k-3500 game easily.

Collector quality? Go higher.

Plus, there are 2 versions of sideart, the solid one seems to be worth
more and is IMO nicer.

Pin del listed it here. I would have loved to get it but too far away.
I'm sure a flawless one could be 3K or beyond, but most seem around 2K.
