Wow, this is the 2nd post this week with a C37 owner looking for somthing like El Dorado.
What are the chances?

Good luck with the search. I own all these titles and love every one.

Yes the El Doraldo came up because I saw a member just sold one and I thought I would throw out a net
Never can release the C37 as it played everyday and something so cool about hitting multiple specials

Eight Ball Deluxe is my first choice but can be turned into a volley or jack as you can never beat a classic Gottlieb Wedge-Head

I just find it mind boggling that old, rough EMs are selling for 1300 on Kijiji!

My Toledo and Buckaneer are going to be worth a mint when I finally sell them, as long as people remain delusional!

I think it depends on the EM title because I know there are some like Centigrade 37 which almost commands a "DMD" premium :)

I think Jacks Open falls into the category of maybe 3-4 elite and hard to find EMs that generally command well over $1000 and often close to $2K.
Games like El Dorado, Centigrade 37 and definitley Jacks Open do not represent the "norm" when it comes to EMs.

I was fortunate enough to grab one for $800 earlier this year, but that was a fluke (thanks Mike ;) )

This one has just over 50,000 plays, which is pretty good.

And yes, I may have a 1981 Eight Ball Deluxe for sale soon (for just a bit more than this EM :D ).

I should have kept this for myself and flipped for mad profit..... but I will settle for getting a free set of mirror blades as my finder's fee :lol:

Too bad you didn't know they went for over $1300-$1500 at the time :lol:

Much appreciated either way though. Money ain't everything. Just think of all the hours of enjoyment you'll get out of it when you come over!
Now, if you ever find a Space Walk on kijiji for $800, you know who to call :D

I see what you did there, no wonder you were so generous and gave me gold and black blade options instead of just chrome for my freebie :lol: You know anytime something that pops up that I know might interest you regardless if you have space or not you will be getting a message even if it is at 2am!
