I haven't read all the back and forth in this thread, but speaking of price increases for NIB pinball in general over the years, if what Lloyd said in post #2 of this thread from a year ago is accurate ( https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/price-history-of-pinball-machines#post-3556169 ) and a NIB Gorgar was around $2,200 in 1979, wouldn't that be a $7,400 Stern Premium game today using a standard inflation calculator? Are NIB prices not where they should be based on inflation? Sounds like NIB prices are +/- in the ballpark to me. And I am in no way in Stern's demographic of a NIB customer as I don't own anything newer than 1980 and probably never will, just an observation.
