Quoted from Deez:I feel like I keep seeing sale threads on this board which seem ridiculously high for a machine and then immediately after people will post how they think it's a cheap price and they wish they were closer. The machine will then sit at that price for a few weeks and sometimes longer until they eventually get sold. If you do a quick comparison of the prices listed in these threads compared to pinpedia or bostonpinball, they're 20% + higher. I wish that sellers would be required to list the actual sale price of the machine in the thread so I could get a better feel of what is occurring. I just can't believe that some people are paying crazy money for some B titles.
I understand the whole concept of a machine having higher value if it is shopped, LEDd and condition condition condition. I just wish there was more price transparency in the hobby and since pinpedia and bostonpinball use actual completed sales, how the pinside prices could be so much higher.
quite true, but trends starts here. Remember a year ago? exactly? Some joe started a ironman lovefest thread and every owners jumped in to pump and dump theirs and prices soared to 5K for a relatively marginally wanted game. They shure created a Frenzy.
