No.
Are these the 50 limited ones they had been selling from the Kiss website? If they were worth it, they would have sold for the $10K to $12K they were asking 3 years ago.
Or are you talking about the old Bally one that was inflated at $4K for years then lost most value after the Stern was released.
Either way, no.
Quoted from cosmokramer:But it comes with the original bulbs....
That’s a game changer for sure
Quoted from Coindork:For 21k I better get more than just a Kiss if you know what I'm sayin.
And it better be from Shannon Tweed

Only if we can go back to 1989

Looked quick for the other. But an hour means page 2 and I'm not seeing it or remembering specifics.

There is no such thing as derailing a thread regarding a Kiss pinball machine for 21k.
That was derailed form the get go.

Bless her heart.....Shannon had a great selection of .99 vhs rental movies at the local grocery store back in the college days....
200px-Night_Eyes_3_cover_art (resized).jpgs-l640 (resized).jpgThe only way I would pay 21k for this would be if Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, Paul Stanley and Peter Criss personally delivered to my house in full costume and makeup in the middle of a house party.
Even then they better do something epic like upper deck my toilet so I have a good story to tell.

Yeah it’s the Bally one and it is in average ,or slightly better than average, condition for a game from that era . The game is insanely over priced .

You’ll be getting more than a Kiss... you’ll be getting the shaft.
Hell no it’s not worth 21K. Notice it’s just the plastics signed....I have an original playfield signed by Ace and Peter....just need Paul and Gene.
When I brought it to Ace he was like what the hell? He looked at me and said where do you want me to sign it. I told him to sign it anywhere you want as I am sure have signed one of these before. He looked at me shook his head and said this a first.
Interestingly enough when I got Peter to sign he said the same thing as Ace....he had never signed one.
It was all about getting the signatures myself which makes this cool to me. As with any signed item it’s mostly the item itself that has value...and the more rare and unique/one of a kind signed item can be very valuable to collectors.
I probably do have a one of a kind item. I have seen cabinets that have been signed......but there are several of those. Backglasses too...lots of those out there.
I looked at the add and he states it is the 22nd made in the run. WRONG.
Bally made over 17,000 KISS machines and his serial number EK11022 makes it the 10,022th made, putting it in the middle.
Wish it were in the middle of a road and run over by a truck then somebody could lick it up.
Also the seller mentions that there are 2 numbers lower than his registered on the internet pinball serial number database as some sort of proof that he has something rare . Games are registered on that site by owners of the games . Plenty of people that own pinball machines do not know about that site , register their games there or even care . It’s a neat site but it can’t be used as a gauge for the amount of specific games that are remaining. Also I have had duplicates of Bally games from that era that have had different color inserts in areas and nothing I had was rare or special . It is my understanding that they changed colors on inserts because it’s what they had in stock and wanted to get games out the door .
Everything is only worth what someone wants to pay for it.
If it finds a buyer, than it was worth it.
To me - nope
Each signature if verified is worth about $1000 given its on the game. Much less for an autographed picture.
Value of game based on condition with signatures would be about $6-7k tops.
This price would require a signed appraisal and receipt.
