There were many many bingos made and so if you look long enough, you'll generally find the title you want, regardless of coast (minus the real rarities). Screen games (in particular Lido and a few others referenced below) are generally more valuable out East.Įast Coast tends to have a bigger variety of games come up for sale, Squares, Screens, Lines, six cards.

Pricing is a little different on East and West coasts, though we're usually only talking a couple hundred + or -, so baldtwit is pretty much spot on. If someone did a really good cleaning/repaint/refinish job, then the $1000 price tags start making more sense. Overhauling a game can take 20+ hours on just the mechanicals. If you had to pay someone to go thru it and get it running well, you'd lose money. Typical warehouse games that don't run and have been thrashed on route generally sell for $0-$200, depending on the game and how beat up it is. The pacific pinball museum in alameda, ca sold fully workings ones with decent cosmetics for $500-$600 each (lido had a cracked backglass).Īn almost perfect backglass is usually sellable for $75-$100 by itself. The main market seems to be either people who played them when they were operated or people who are curious how they work. I live 20 miles from san jose, and I work on them I can tell you there isn't much market for old Bingo machines.
