People are really asking $11k for a TAF with a backbox that is all chewed up on both sides and has a ton of horrible touch ups?

People have lost their damn minds.

Whether 6K Addams are a thing or not (which they are), this game shouldn’t be sold for stupid money at all is the point. They made 20,000 of the fucking things.

This one listed at 11K, in this condition....is just a joke. I tried to be somewhat courteous and pointed out one issue. Other people then pointed to several others. The game needs a ton of TLC.

For 11k it better be a HEP machine or similar quality.

And I think $6k is still way off. Unless you’re looking to ruin the hobby even more and take a huge profit, a TAF in this condition is worth 4600. At least in a reasonable world.

And I’m not looking for “market value” people to chime in. (generally the same shysters making the hobby worse).

I agree with that. But I said 4600 is what it SHOULD be.

In a world that makes sense, a less than perfect 90s game should never be fetching more money than a brand new one in a box. Unless rarity is there, immaculate condition, other factors. (A hobby like cars is different, before some moron throws out the “cargument”).

The only reason I comment on prices, as I’ve said a billion times, is that it’s pushing so many people out of the hobby.

The people that bought and collected games in the $500-$2500 range are pretty much gone. And that was a significant portion of the hobby. I know quite a few that could only afford to collect games in that price range, and they also loved the hobby.

But now when they come over, they don’t even want to play pinball anymore. Or they play a game or two on mine, but you can see all the passion is gone. And that is sad.
