    Quoted from Saltimbanco:

    Oh, and so we don't fully derail any chance of getting a pinball topic: damn those pinball prices are really something, aren't they..!

    I dying to get a Stranger Things and Spider-Man but can’t afford either right now.

    #3552 2 years ago

    Google does not make scientists.

    But damn those pinball prices indeed.

    Stranger Things Premium is about what, 12-13k right now? And that's IF you can find one...

    Stranger Things seems to be a very hot commodity these days.

    You have Tron pro listed twice, and both are low. The only Tron that didn't sell well was the one in Quebec.

    Also, it's very subjective because it's one of those titles that can be modded to the 9's. (Of course, mods are only values by the buyer, and is a hard to discuss topic for some)

    Tron Le's are listing upwards of 22-25k usd, which also makes no sense to me.

    I'm not trying to price pump, but I believe the pro to be worth more than that based on sales history being 10k+ at the beginning of covid and now game prices are on fire.

    Tron was listed twice because two had recently sold at the time I believe. Hey, it's just a list to start some sort discussion on this, myself I have no idea anymore on what to expect price wise!

    Led Zeppelin (LE) $14k (high, but some will get it)
    MET (Pro) $8.5k (low)
    Dialed In (SE) $9.9k (high, le goes for 10.5)
    POTC (CE) $17.5k (maybe usd)
    Creature $8.8k (couldn't say, too much nostalgia on bally Williams)
    GhostBusters (Pro) $8.5k (ok)
    Monster Bash $12k (high for original, but ok depending on which remake trim)
    Judge Dredd $5.6k (normal)
    TMNT (Pro) $8.2k (sure)
    TMNT (PREM) $9.8k (maybe)
    DeadPool (PREM) $12k (good luck finding one)
    EHOH (PREM) $14.5k (ok but no idea why)
    Mousin Around $4.2k (seems high)
    BSD (restored) $6.5k (restored will cost more)
    Hot Wheels $7.8k (sure, still available nib too)
    TWD (Pro) $8k (just barely low)
    STTNG $6.8k (way low, not gonna find one)
    Batman (Super LE) $25k (find one and see)
    TSPP $8.5k (low, but possible)
    GOTG (Pro) $8.2k (about right, but nib available will push price up)
    BK (Stern Pro) $7.8k (don't know, don't care)
    Tron (Pro) $10.2k ( lower end, but maybe without key mods)
    Tron (Pro) $10k (if you mean le, it's $20k+)
    AMH $7.5k (seems right but not a great game)
    GOT (PREM) $13.5k (high, le is about the same price)
    LOTR (LE) $12.5k (maybe)
    TOTAN $15k (way high, crazy unless restored)
    Fire $4.5k (meh)
    AFM $11.5k( depends which trim, but do you mean original, this is high)

    Here is my revision of your list, not with pricing, but my eye on the market here.

    #3564 2 years ago

    some are right , some are low

    #3565 2 years ago

    Prices are still the asking price.
    They may have taken a little less, dogecoin...
    At least there are some nice titles available inside the border.

    #3566 2 years ago

    Without knowing the back story my easy solution is I have the game wrapped and strapped at the door and when the unvaccinated arrives I'll dolly it out for you. If summertime, it will be sitting on the deck.

    Quoted from luch:

    Actually, I'm more and more under the impression that the best thing to do lately is to buy NIB..

    #3569 2 years ago

    The most amazing thing to me is the super common Stern Pro's. Your ACDC, MET, GOTG, TWD, Ghostbusters, GOT, they literally made these till they just could not find another person to buy one. These were super mobile pins in the market. They came off route people bought them got bored and sold them. I just do not understand why they are demanding such a premium.

    #3570 2 years ago

    Agree I can’t believe people pay the prices they do for those titles in particular I get it with the newer machines as it is supply and demand but anything in that era there are plenty around and not sure how sellers are convincing people to pay the amount they are as the machines are a dime a dozen to find.

    #3571 2 years ago

    I searching for a twd for a while for a realistic price and i just cant find one.

    I could care less about the other titles.
    I just love the vibe of twd.

    My theory is over the last about 2 years there has a large influx into the hobby. I know when I came in my pins didn't go out, I thought they were all here forever. Then after a couple years you level up from noobhood and your line up gets full then pins go out when new ones come in. I figure in another year or so things will get back to normal when all the new blood starts to shake up their lineups. They have put like a temporary freeze on those super common pins. It's not just Stern Pro's they are just an obvious example. It's funny a portion of this place would go mad with every new Stern, but an equal portion would be yeah yeah I'll just pick one up in a couple months when they flood the market. Now there is a larger portion that believe if I don't buy now I will never get a chance.

    #3573 2 years ago

    My covid money plus the sale of my 3 B titles got me into 2 great titles.
    Now I am just riding the wave.

    i must be an exception, but i hate all the new pins with big LCD.

    i like the older 90s pin. I collect bunch of old honda bikes, ct70, z50, motra, motocompo, ez cub 90, ysr50, etc etc. and drive a porsche 993.

    it's old school for me.

    it's just bad for me who got recently in the hobby.

    Amazing! I rode a CBR600 at the time and I used to love seeing these little buggers pull up to light. They would be tons of fun in a huge parking lot. Love the 911 as well. I no longer have the bike but the caged 911 will be a staple in my garage. Beauty bikes!!

    #3581 2 years ago

    Thanks guys.

    If you like porsche and some racing with them, i have a small youtube channel with some of my previous races.
    Unfortunately, i sold my race car in 2021 due to covid(no races), new born and probably a 2nd one on his way shortly.

    Some races in the usa race tracks, mosport and mont tremblant.

    Hahaha no chance. My Streetbike riding days are behind me. Wouldn’t mind picking up a 600cc track bike at some point. I ride off-road for the time being. Interesting offer though.

    I live in Oakville, guys on my beer league team all have kids that play with AA and AAA rangers and many of them coach.

    Well it does have a bunch of celebrities that signed it, so probably why the value is so high thou it doesn’t add any value to me personally.

    Does anyone know if there's like a network or collective of home pinball machine owners in Toronto?

    I got a NIB Hot Wheels last year (my first pin) and would be curious if people ever trade machines for a few months just to rotate in something fresh once in a while

    with the value of new machines , most likely no
