Touchy subject but this ole 62 year old man has to comment. I am selling many pins and games A.T.Moment. It pained me deeply to sell a few in the beginning at reasonable rates...well, what I thought was reasonable. I sold Gorgars, Flash's, 1950's Wurlitzers for 500-800 bucks to see them a week later for sale on Craigslist for 1500-2000 and being snapped up by buyers. I a quickly tired of the " flipper dipper" types that do this, "Quickly Tired!" This is why ya cannot find a decent priced vintage pin there anymore! I quickly tired of seeing foreign buyers outbid me at amusement auctions only to buy and ship thousands in containers overseas!.....My pins, most I have owned thirty years or more will reflect a huge increase now!!!! The ones I have left when dead will be donated to a museum. I will be #%&$$ if I sell another #$%$# a pinball so he can immediately flip it!!!!!

Also....I purchased at least 100 new pins in the late seventies. Pinball started dying, dying, dying, dead. Video was king, ya could get about 300-400 a pin on resell. I had to sell about half to survive. Sell I did! The other half I kept and stored!!!!!! Now....what is storage worth? Technically pins I paid 1800-2500 new should be worth more than that today but most are not! I can argue both sides here. I'll support the man that housed them like myself with paying a high price a hell of a lot quicker than a man that pleads to buy one at a flea market price with plans to flip and double his money! A whole lot of peeps capitalized on bankrupt arcade owners! Carpet baggas!
