Babe Ruth themed IGT S+

[Simplify]

Hello,

Has anyone seen one of these or know anything about them?  I can't find any information on it, I just know it's an 1994 IGT S+....rethemed with the Babe Ruth stuff.

I'm doing some work for a retired baseball player and he is thinking about selling it.

Thanks!

It's a clone of a real IGT S+ game called "Five Times Pay"...>>>

If you closely, the glass was only made in 2003 by a company called "CMO worldwide.com" ?
Some marketing branding co. working for a group at www.BabeRuth.com

That also has a triple jackpot reel glass.

Got it, thanks for the info! 

I did see the name on the glass that was used for the customization.  I may contact that company to see if they have any more information in terms of origin and value. 

There is also a tag on the side that shows the  name of the store that sold it.  I will probably check with them as well.

Anyone have any thoughts on how to price something like this?  I think the base machine would be about $600 but I don’t know if the customization with the Babe Ruth stuff would add value….or how much if does.  Appreciate any input from the group.

It is whatever someone is willing to pay.  Custom themes are not all that valuable because you can basically have them duplicated, unless it was something that had some kind of historical importance (like used in a movie, for a special ocassion, etc with documentation to prove it).

I agree with you 100 percent on the first part of your answer..."It is whatever someone is willing to pay".  However, we do try to evaluate prices based on past sales, uniqueness, market demand at the time, etc.  I'm trying to see if there is any kind of market background on it.  So far it sounds like no one has seen one before.

Disagree 100 percent on your second statement.  Sure, technically you could duplicate it....but realistically you would have a very hard time finding a company that will risk their business to recreate something that is so heavily licensed and regulated.  It costs money to get permission to do a customization like this.
