The price of every pin in existence is a moving target, right? Whether or not 11K is a good deal depends entirely on the timing. All you can do is pay fair market value for your pins and sell when it makes sense for you to sell. I expect to take a haircut on every pin I own except for the golden four. The golden four are my estate's problem.

AFM is a superlative pin. I think it's reasonable for the top 5% of titles to trade at a pretty stiff premium. An AFM in good shape could be had for ~7K for the past several years. I'd expect that number to drop once PPS announces the AFMr, but it's still a kick-ass pin no matter how you slice it. Has AFM gone crazy since then and I just didn't notice?

I agree with him. It's got an intriguing yet simple ruleset, great shot selection, good theme and not a whole lot on the playfield to break. I think it holds its own against ACDC, MET, STLE or just about any pin you can name. If MET or STLE are going for 8K, why is AFM going to go for 4K or 5K? The only circumstance where I can see AFM as a sub 5K pin is one in which the pin market has saturated and the market dumps like it did with video games.
