I am not really into pinball machines, I love to play, but know nothing about value…did see this though in case anyone is interested:

Thanks for posting this find! Looks like it is priced right from what I can tell, though would have to see it in person to assess it fully.
That looks like it is in Rough shape. The fact that all the metals are rusted and how dirty everything is puts it in the $100 or less category for me. The machine looks to not be running as the play-field has a bunch of broken bands. The back glass art looks pretty funny though. 
@paulstaf thanks for posting, even in rough states we might stumble across someone’s prized childhood machine. 
My suggestion on this post is to pass, $300 is the absolute maximum you could charge for a less popular title in this state. You should be able to get a title like this in working condition from $500 to $800. And that I feel is the cost effective purchasing condition and price for most members because you can always get rid of it when your finished.
Doodle Bug - 1971 by Williams - $250 current bid
Located in Houston.
Funny game… you get points as long as you can keep the “doodle bug” shimmying up the playfield. Note the gap between the flippers and slings below (similar to Teacher’s Pet). Simple but fun.

Looks like it’s in great condition for that price.
Man… ever since last June the “cheap finds” have been drying up. I rarely see anything anymore within a 300 mile radius!
Looking back upon this thread, I should have picked up Surf Champ, Rancho, Black Pyramid, and Doodle Bug… oh well.
Still keeping my eyes peeled!
Actually there is another Doodle Bug for sale in Little Rock - $200. Here’s some pics:
Looks like a decent project, but the main issue is a 6" crack in the upper left corner of the backglass.

Peripherally related, if anyone is interested in a slot-car track, there will be one in the garage sale at my place this weekend.
What are you asking for the slot-car track?
I honestly don’t know what’s fair. Mother was thinking $15, because it doesn’t have the cars (we haven’t found them yet!), but that seemed a little low to me, considering the thing is huge, & has the power supply & handheld switches.
Guys… please use PM’s to further this discussion. Thx.
