24Lets just say you got a good, but not crazy, deal on a TOTAN and a EATPM, Would you keep both? Sell both? Flip one & keep the other? Having never really played either, I have to ask, what would you do?

play them? Sell one, both or neither depending on how I felt.
I'd use totan as tradebait for a better pin in it's price range, like SM. EATPM is a good bang/buck pin. Don't just sell it without playing it a bit.

TOTAN will be hard to replace. Keep it! It is also the the favored pin for the females.
Very true. TOTAN is the only game I've ever owned that got my wife to go down into the basement alone to play it.

I would keep both and move the HS if you needed the space. TOTAN is an all time classic that is just a work of art. EATPM is a pretty fun pin in it's own right a bit underrated IMO.
The dude abides once again, listen.
Both are decent games in their own era. If you like playing them both, keep them.
I restored a TOTAN once and couldn't sell it fast enough after I was done. I hadn't planned on selling it but the gameplay just bored me to tears. (It sold VERY quickly, I just didn't like it)
I've got two EATPMs, but I'm kinda nutty when it comes to Elvira!

agreed. hs is the odd one out of those three.
EATPM is for sure a keeper. I haven't played enough TOTAN, but I could see it being a keeper too...beautiful machine for sure.
The right answer for you all depends on space, money, and how much you like each of them. Either game is fairly sought-after in their respective era and price range and would be good trade-fodder if you don't bond with them.
