| I have this pinball machine that's been in my basement for years, no idea what it's worth. It's a ballys dolly Parton machine, hoping to get some spare cash...any ideas on what it's worth? |

Value will vary widely with condition. Does it play at all? Does everything work? What's the playing field, back glass and body paint look like? In rough but salvageable shape, no more than a few hundred bucks. In excellent condition, maybe $1K or more. That wasn't a particularly high production model, and Dolly certainly has a lot of fans out there. |

Saw a few listed for $1000. Also saw a guide listing them from 400-600 |

Shipping is also a big issue... someone might be willing to pay $2000 for it, but if it costs $1000 to ship, all you'll get is $1000.
My sister's BF had an old jukebox. Had to be "worth" bucks. A few years ago, he turned down $2500 for it. He had to get rid of it, and was lucky to find someone who'd pay to ship it to a relative. He was just glad to get it gone. |

The field and glass all looks pretty good, wood has some wear but definitely restorable |

The field and glass all looks pretty good, wood has some wear but definitely restorable Just about any machine from that era is worth $400 if it's functional and could be restored without too much trouble. List it a the pinball database link above. List it on Craigslist. It might not sell right away, but eventually you'll find a buyer. |
