Quoted from copperpot:This right here. Pinball isn't a commodity, and the volume isn't great enough to dictate a standardized market price. IM is a rare enough that someone who has been waiting on one and missed a couple chances may jump at a $6k machine. At the same time, some dude who just knocked up his old lady may be willing to dump IM at $3k just so he can get money for diapers and stretch mark creme. This is what always amazed me about price policing. Everyone is wrong, no one is happy, and in the end the discussion resolves into ridiculous babble like this post right here.

Too funny!
In my case I was willing to sell and not pay a 10 percent IRS fee = to 1200 dollars on the 12k they claim I owe based upon sales tax collected at a pizza store. I would never ever sold IM as I just picked up a nice one in MI for 4700 with mods and LED's but the gov't waits for nobody and the bill doesnt get "put off". I needed to raise quick funds and selling duplicate pins at auction which is usually more wholesale than retail was the only way to make sure to get the funds in 2 days. I would have more than happy to make parking lot deals like I did on some of the others but nobody asked me there. Banks are not lending in my part of the country even if you pay your bills. Money is tight or so the banks claim if they took TARP funds. Maybe we need pin pawn brokers like the cash car title loans places...
