Whats a reasonable offer for a 2004 Woody Woodpecker Pachinko?

[The Rube]

So while doing a crazy mad search online for the pachinko machines on my wishlist (see tag), I found a vacation home rental listing in Florida that happen to have a 2004 Maruhon Woody Woodpecker Pachinko Machine in their gameroom.

So I knew it was a longshot but I sent them a email seeing if they would like to sell their machine. This is the response that I got:


Hi, We will be swapping out the pinball machines for something different very shortly as it happens. How much are you able to offer for it? Was just going to ebay them.

Ok, so I tracked one down but I don't know what this particular machine is worth or how much to offer without being insulting. I was thinking around $150-$175-$200. Any Help?

Depends on how many balls. But I think $150 plus shipping is a good opening offer. Might be more if you get the cabinet as well. Then offer $400 for the Star Wars

Don't forget our Uk prices are a lot different

I just received an email back from the seller (after asking for more photos):

Hi,
When I strip the machines out I will get some photo's for you but it will be after the summer now. You will have to arrange collection my caretaker won't want the hassle tbh.

Regards,
Andrew


I'm assuming that he doesn't want to pull the machines out the rental house untill Auguest/after summer. I'll make him an offer of $150+shipping. Let me know if anyone is interested in buying his Star Wars (fun machine but I'm going to pass on it) and I'll send you his email.
