Quoted from Pintopia:

Nobody is whining about what the op was offering his game for. It is the regular price pumping that goes on which only serves to cost everyone more that was brought up.
What needs to be understood is that pinball while an exciting and unique hobby that can become intoxicating at times is not a hobby of rare games. Pinball machines are not rare! There are hundreds of thousands of them. If you what a title you can buy one. Just post a want ad and you will get multiple offers to sell for any title!
Here's an exercise: Let's look at the pinball collector today. With the use of computers and the internet most it would seem would find this and other pinball resources online, most not all would want to participate. Lets be conservative and say that 50% of pinball home collectors like you and I are members of this forum. Now lets go to the top 100 list pick any game (with the exception of a few such as BBB and CC) look at the number of games produced, number of games in collector hands and the number in the public. In most cases less than 8% are accounted for now multiple by 2 to include that other 50% and you still have 84% of a games production unaccounted for.
With price pumping what inevitably occurs is that ops will hold games not knowing when is the right moment to sell. This impacts both commercial and residential. In addition buyers "perceive" rarity and falsely assume that this is a good deal because prices "always move up" and purchases the game thus perpetuating the cycle of price inflation based of perception.
So just relax take a deep breath let the op ask what he wants for the game and resist the urge to pump is just a pinball game not some rare antiquity.

I'm 110% sure that isn't true.
