    How much is your time worth to you?

    I understand some folks love the hunt, but if money is the only factor then consider this: Say you spend 30 minutes a day searching classifieds, ebay, RGP, Pinside, etc. If it takes you a year to find the machine you are looking for, that $700 dollars you saved amounts to about $4/hr for your time spent. Also, you have deprived yourself of a year of enjoyment that you could have had. I would rather just find some extra work, get the machine and start playing me some pinball!

    good luck,
    Shawn

    Quoted from futurepinhead:

    I have been looking all over for certain machines and the only place I can find them for sale is through actual businesses. These and the ones on ebay. Both are rediculously overpriced if you go by the Pinside prices but they do/should come 100% working and shopped. I was just curious if you all ever pay their prices or just wait for ones on CL or mrpinball or maybe even here. I am about to buckle and pay about $700 more than I should for a BR.
