Quoted from lancestorm:

Jjp has consistently held a very high value

A used woz is at least 2 grand less than a NIB Woz.

But let's stay focused - this thread is to rag on Houdini.

Quoted from Hazoff:

Who pretends Stern games are all gold? and what games are gold for u? very interested.

Well let's not forget Stern Beatles Gold edition...

We all know it is rare for any current NIB game to not drop in value in the used market.

This thread is just a troll-ish attempt to disparage Houdini. Nothing more.

Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

Sorry, JJP isn't analogous to a BMW.
WoZ had many poor electrical engineering design decisions that actually made it to market.
Pirates had to have the cornerstone mech removed from the design because they couldn't figure out the engineering.
That is a vast difference from BMW having a team of engineers dedicated to just the sounds their cars make.

I've owned several BMW's. I've owned several JJP pins.

Both are expensive and both break down.

It's a valid cargument, y'all.

Quoted from rotordave:Re that car-analogy — a lot of people have the view that if something costs “more” then it is automatically “better”
My life experiences have proved that is generally not the case.
Marketeers loooove to use that theory on consumers though.
I could give you plenty of examples, being an ex retailer ... but I’ll just tell the story of how my connected Chinese buddy got me a genuine Louis Vuitton $3500 NZD handbag from his buddies factory for the same price Louis Vuitton pay for them. $100 USD. The other $3000 is “idiot tax”. Lol

Excellent Louis Vuittongument.

This also explains certain exclusive pinball prices.
