Well it has definitely out priced me. I have always wanted a NIB but $6500 was about as far as I could justify it. I think the ever increasing NIB prices has drastically started to push up the used market to a point where I just can't see paying $1500+ for a system 11. For the money there are so many other toys and hobbies it just starts to not be worth it. I have heard many people say it "Pinball is a rich mans hobby". I hate to say it but its getting to be that way. Glad I bought mine when I did.
