Quoted from ZooDude:How come the rare ems get no love?
I dig Double up, fun game great art,55 made. Or how about Bali-hi? Another fun one with something like 65 made.
Quoted from Pickle:Oh they do get love. There are collectors of EM games but in general those games don’t fetch huge money but there are exceptions. I think it is more because most are original/non licensed themes but the game play of most are not as flashy/fast as modern games. It doesn’t mean they are not fun but appreciated differently by collectors. And in the EM world there are some amazing non pinball games that are extremely rare and collectible.
Quoted from ZooDude:Certainly Gemini and TKO fetch big bucks. I've never seen Double up or Bali-Hi come up for sale, my buddy has both as well as King Rex so I've been able to get some time on those. I held a NOS TKO playfield in my hands a few months ago, a true marvel!
I know about those rare non pin EM's! I'm looking for a Dune Buggy right now!

I lucked into a buying a very nice Bally Double Up (1971 - # 4 out of 55 made) a year ago but the game play was rather boring. Gladly traded it for an equally rare Bally Round Up (1971 - # 7 out of 70 made). Glad to see that Round Up sold for $ 4,500 but I wouldn't sell mine for that. Might trade it for a 1968 Bally Joker
