I think it's a good idea but the truth is everything and everyone has a price.

I’ve never owned a “keeper”. Limited finances and limited space have me rotating pins. I usually keep around 5 pins at home and a few on route.

Nope. I've gotten offered stupid money for some games but they have sentimental value.

Even normally though, I think 'nailed to the floor' is useful to turn away normal offers

Alien.

I'm a mover but after getting a second chance on it, the game is beyond special and I've played many. Been offered very good money on it but not moving. I think if it moves, I'm out of the hobby and doing something else. It's that special.

Depends on the game and how hard it is to find.

My Mystery Castle I'd debate letting go since it is player's grade and they go for silly money now. On the other hand I have been offered a chunk of change above what I paid for Avatar LE and It just won't leave because its too much fun and to tough to replace. then you get into the new stuff like houdini where its fun, but won't get played by anyone but me so I'd trade it out as soon as I find a deal for something I think guests will go for, but still entertain me.

So you’d turn down $25000 or some other crazy price? Just a hypothetical question.

People still contact me on PinballOwners, even if I have it marked "never sell", and I have sold some pins marked as such. I've sold more pins outside of pinside!

Everything has it's price. Everything.

What's the point of ranking pins like that when things always change? Pins get old after a while. New games get released. Sometimes you need space or funds for something else that pops up. If a pin is for sale then just list if for sale. Everything else is just a maybe for the right price.

Yes I have.....and then some.

I would like to say no but 25k? damn.

I didn't say it was $25K, what I said was "and then some".

John

I doubt anyone offers that sort of thing for an alien so its a bit silly. My pm is a sample and I'd turn down 6k even though you can get a pm for 4k. I doubt anyone ever offers that let alone more.

My PM and Airborne are the pins in which I shall be buried. Everything else is negotiable. I've owned BBB, TBL, and Alien--only Alien remains. And even Alien would be sold for the right price.

I turned down $20,000 for a video card.

No, everything doesn't have a price.

People see things differently!!! I just turned down $10,000.for my RZ Spook show,but offered to get one for him!!!

While I’m sure this isn’t going to happen - I bet you would sell anything you own for $100 million (unless market price for something you own is more than that)

I would take that bet and you would lose.

Money would not change my life very much, its just nothing I put much faith in. I had my own business for several years and accrued an excessive amount of money which brought me not a wit of happiness nor satisfaction and closed my doors after that realization. I find far more satisfaction in helping my friend save his fathers business and quiet time with my wife and family.

And telling people with far to much money to go pound sand when they want something from me and I'm not inclined to part with it.

I get what you mean - but I would just go buy a better version of something if they were willing to overpay. The only thing I may not sell would be a one of one or something along those lines.

And then he finds a bunch of guys like him that tell him to pound sand

This did make me laugh!
