Quoted from zachsteffens:I've been toying with purchasing my first pin for about 6 months and I'm finally going to pull the trigger.
I'm on the fence between the Standard #WOZ and the 75th anniversary edition.
Questions I haven't discerned the answers to yet:
Is the invisiglass necessary?
Initially, I like the shaker motor, but does it get old?
Will the higher end version retain it's value at the same rate as a Standard?
Any other opinions are greatly appreciated.
Noob,
Zach
First off, pinball machines are commercial revenue generating toys. They had never been intended to be investment vehicles. As of late, a few title have either gained value or not lost value. This of course depends on whether the pinball machine in question was purchased at accurate fair market value.
If you purchased a NIB 75th WOZ at full pop retail, and you chose to sell said machine after a few months of ownership, be prepared to price it to sell between 500-1000 less than purchase price.
If you purchased a used HUO 75th WOZ, at accurate fair market value, you will have more of a chance to resell machine at what you paid if you chose to resell that after a few months.
The same goes for a standard.
