Question

bulls eye
I have a couple of games and wanted to know the value and some more information about them.
The first is Midway Bulls eye wall game - in good condition and still works.
The second is Gottliebs' Flipper Pool.  It works well, still in good condition.
Thank you!


Answer
Lauren,

I am not familiar with the Midway Bulls Eye, but would guess the value at a few hundred based upon the picture.  However, I can tell you the Flipper Pool is worth $400-800 depending upon condition.  There are two important issues with pinball machines.  Is it working?/complete?  And is the backglass in good condition.  You mentioned it works and is in good condition, so the value would be in the upper end of the range.  A good backglass would be free of any damage and paint that is flaking or peeling.  I hope this helps and good luck with them.
