Quoted from Crash:Agreed. Pinball has really kept up with inflation of other commodities quite well. And I realize inflation alone isn't the only factor. Take Addams Family for example, which likely sold for around $1500 in 1992. That's brand new. That would be $3,128 today. Would sure be nice if you could buy a home use only TAF for that price today. And don't forget there were 20,270 of these things made! The most common game in the industry.
This is from a old thread about MSRP. "Late 1970's solid state Gottliebs about $1800. High Speed around $2200, Black Knight $2400, Medieval Madness $3600"
I get your point but I do not think TAF was anywhere near $1500 MSRP or real world new price. I think it was closer to $3000.
