Where will Houdini, Mafia,Thunderbirds, and ACNC be this time next year..

Lots of good pins in 2019 to spend your hard earned money on. And the games that are 50% questionable will drop like anchors .

Quoted from PinMonk:

You can't lump Houdini in with Mafia, Thunderbirds and ACNC. Not even close.

In the used markets I believe you will be able to compare them .. Houdini retails for $6999 and now sells close to 6k used. I Believe the other pins in this group will have similar price drop % amounts.

I would pick up a used Houdini for 5-5.5k next year..

Quoted from PinMonk:

Houdini has been out a year. A 15% drop is about normal.
Thunderbirds has been out just a few months and there's a basically new one with 10 plays that can't be unloaded for 35% off.
People in LINE are bailing on ACNC, selling their spot for less than they have into it. NO ONE was bailing on Houdini pre-release and while it was initially shipping.
A rational person who can do math wouldn't make the crazy comparison you did, because it's oranges to prunes.

What pin would you compare Houdini with?

Quoted from PinMonk:

It's an upper mid-tier pin. There are plenty to compare it to if you're talking price depreciation, but why? The only salient point is your initial dumpster pin comparison was completely wrong.

Ok, I will take Mafia and Thunderbirds out.

But Houdini and ACNC are right in the same ballpark in lots of areas.
