What an interesting situation to be in. Sell whichever Pin has the highest production numbers and keep the rarer title for yourself.

Was your intention to make money or just get one of these titles?

Quoted from BackFlipper:

My intention was just to get a Platinum or Diamond at a price I could live with. I don't think I have ever made a profit on a pinball machine. I usually buy an LE at about $9K and end up selling it a year later for $7500 with a topper and extras.

I am trying to avoid that Buy a LE or Premium and sell at a loss cycle.
