Congrats. $6k was easily a low price when you consider all the attributes of this Pin compared to MM and MB, AFM should easily be $10k. Can't be that many more routed AFM's floating out there.

Better get them while you can.

Again, congrats OP.

None of this is relevant. CC isn't more expensive than CV because it's a better game. It's more expensive because the market has said so... you know PRICE/DEMAND.

MM isn't worth more because it is a better playing pinball. Look at BBB. BBB is not half the game of TSPP,TZ, or TAF and it is easily worth 4 times any of those titles because the supply and buyers have determined it so.

How many routed games are available became irrelevant 10 years ago. More than 50% of Stern's customers are now how users.

You can't "wish" a game worth more money because it is a better playing game than another. There are so many other factors involved. Price/Time/Location(Country)/Rarity/Theme/Condition/Owner/Sample/Distance Traveled(which is different than location)/Patience are all factors as well.

Anyway, congrats on the sale. It was the right price for someone.

This. I'm new here and Eric's machines are the ones that I find myself always clicking on. Not because I know they are his but because the titles are good and the prices are even better. I bought his Hurricane last weekend and it was a no nonsense deal. Pay, pickup, and out the door... doesn't get any better than that imho.

Not wishing anything here. And yes we all understand Supply/Demand. What I have a problem with is folks whining about a routed AFM at anything much over $6k, while MM and MB get a pass on crazier prices.

Of course, time will tell...

I was just having fun hence the smiley face. AFM is one of my favorites and I enjoy it more then MM and MB as well. I just think there are other factors besides gameplay that make MM and MB sell for more then AFM.

I think condition might have something to do with it. In general, it seems like MB/MM are in better condition. I bought a routed AFM exactly 3 years ago for $3,200 and the PF was pretty blown out (very common on this title). I sent it to HEP for restoration and it ended up weighing in @ 12k total. That same restoration would be north of 15k today. Wow.

MM are usually routed to hell and back actually. That's the whole point, they were popular and earned, so they were routed hard. That's what led to the price they command today.

This is what AFM owners (who swoop in on threads saying "this is an 8k game all day long") do NOT want buyers to see. Please see AFM sellers rationalizations below...

Nope. I paid more for mine because I wanted it pristine. At the same time the cheaper it is so more folks can enjoy it the better. If a game is great I don't want it to go up in value,I want more people to get to enjoy it.

I think AFM is an 8k game or close. HOWEVER, this one is NOT. That is why I priced it for a quick sale. It is in fantastic condition for someone that doesn't want a pristine collectors quality example and just wants to play it. If it was in collectors quality condition I certainly would've listed it for much more than this one.

Sorry there Matt, but BBB is every bit the game TAF is, and then some. Seems like people look a the price, decide there's no way it's worth 20K (it's not), but then take that to the extreme and start thinking BBB is a bad game (it's not). It's a really good player. Maybe when you can beat me on it you'll agree

Correct. Not everyone that owns an AFM does this. I guess I'm talking about the ones that swoop in and say its "an 8k game all day long" in reference to blown out examples on epay when they paid 1/3 that much 3-4 years ago. I don't know why you keep bringing up MM and MB. I'm not talking about those pins.

I am speaking in general about how AFM gets crap on about it's current price, but somehow those other 2 seem to be ok at routed prices of $8k and $10k. But I do agree that prices of most Pins are crazy and I personally hope to see them come down someday.
