With all the trouble a lot of pinball buyers put sellers thru, and how anal and cheap they are, I see no reason not to ask top dollar or more when putting a machine up for sale. And then maybe some sucker will click the buy it now button.

From what I've seen, they haven't "remade" any of them yet. Just cheap imitations.

Game room collectibles does the same when they post games for sale with pics of that sexy broad.

Actually, pinball machines were designed as investments according to some of the flyers released advertising them.

Statements like "great returns on your investment".

Yes it does.

And every time I see someone say "pinball machines should never be thought of as an investment", which is quite often, it shows me they do not know what they are talking about, and if they can't get even the slightest return on that investment, it is their own fault for not putting the game out there to do what it was meant to do in the first place.
