Quoted from Mikala:Sold for $1,375....... That’s crazy! Over 70 bidders. I guess there are a lot of people out there that don’t know how to research something before they buy it.
Actually, I imagine at least some of the bidders know what they are bidding on. The amazing thing to me is that no one in the pinball industry sees the obvious market opportunity here. Zizzle's biggest failing might have been coming out too close to the 2008 recession. Apparently in 2020, you can sell a $150 wholesale pinball machine for a 10x margin. Seems like someone should design a $350 wholesale unit to retail for $699, and clean up the "budget" end of pinball buyers that have to chose between $800+ Zizzles, $500 EM machines, or $3000+ SS pins. Something NIB for $500-$999, appears to have a market.
