Quoted from jgentry:The problem with all of those is that you can buy them in pretty good shape for a fraction of what a new one would cost.
I generally disagree with this statement. Apples to apples - Finding MINT examples of those games (perfect cabinet, playfield, no rust, no corrosion, etc.) is very, very difficult to do and when they are listed, they sell for thousands of dollars. A NIB sorcerer, gorgar etc. at $4K I think would sell very well. Besides, there are many newbies to pinball who don't have a clue as to pinball repair that want a mint version of a game but don't want to have to deal with electronics that are decades old, drying out, and are ready to have issues at any moment.
Quoted from Fytr:From what I've read they never copyrighted the art packages on these games, so anyone can reproduce the BG and PFs.
Uh, no. Copyrights apply to an image the instant it is created and displayed. You don't need to apply for a copyright for it to exist.
