I hate the process of selling machines, and haven’t really kept up with the market.

Summer is here, and my hobby ADD is kicking in… Looking for prices for the following…

Guardians of the Galaxy Pro
Star Wars Pro (not Comic)
Ninja Turtles Pro

All are HUO, couple hundred plays give or take… only mods are mirror blades and shaker motors, also wired to subwoofer(subwoofer not included).

Trying to gauge the price that makes these walk out the door without haggle.

Thanks for any real world data.

I tried the market before posting… 95% are listed as private or not sold.

I guess I will just list them and see what shakes out.

Thanks, that’s kind of where I was thinking too, except guardians seems to be a little higher… already had three shipping offers for guardians, one for 6, and two for 6300, plus shipping…

I started this thread trying to gauge a base, and it is clear it is all over the place. I will post my sale prices in this thread as the sales are made as a reference.

Star Wars pro… sold…. 5500. Friend saw my thread and texted me…

Again, I am looking at prices where there is zero haggle, I hate selling stuff.

Full disclosure… I have been in this hobby for 23 years, I have never seen prices spike so quickly like they have in the last year… I am still making a decent amount of money in all of them, and the only thing I had to do for the last couple of years is play them…. Gotta love pinball….lol

Another buddy texted me on Turtles...

Sold- $5700.

This.....

I am in the same boat, I dont care how much people ask for their games. I have always sold games at a price where multiple buyers are interested. The only difference this time is that I have not been active in keeping track of what stuff is selling for, thus this post.

I am pretty sure I am close to having all three sold, and not even listing anything for sale yet. That is where my sweetspot is.

Another local collector hit me up on Guardians..... Sold for $6200.

Thanks everyone for the conversation. Looks like the market is alive and well even heading into the summer months. Glad to see pinball staying so popular!

I actually had a few PMs from people that told me they sold their Guardians in the low 7s.... I am still in a little sticker shock that Guardians Pros are moving in the 7s... This market seems unreal, to be honest with you. I am not sure where all the cash influx is coming from, but I may need to get my resume out there soon..... LOLOLOL

If thats the case, I feel fortunate to enter the market when I did. I have had the opportunity to own most of the titles I have wanted to own. I am not really a player at the current market, unless the right deal falls into my lap. Any hobby that hits 5 figures, better have wheels or a motor attached to it for me.

If I were just going to sell them to friends I would have hit them up before posting here. Just because they are friends, doesn’t mean I can’t find a fair asking price before posting them up.

I am not rich at all, but my time has value. I try to sell at the bottom acceptable range to save that time for other things I feel have more value.

I just profited $2500 for buying 3 machines, playing them, and then selling them a few years later. Not sure what others hobbies do this, but I feel like this was a win all the way around. I guess your right, that is laughable…. Those suckers paid too much… lol

Because I didn’t think they had any interest? We don’t really talk about buying games from each other that often, so I had no idea these games were on their radar.

I haven’t bought/sold games in quite awhile (see post #1)…

Two of the games sold to friends, guardians sold to someone I know of and am cordial with (very nice guy).

Anyways, I appreciate everyone’s time on this. I am happy and the buyers are happy and the sales were easy as can be.

I wish you the best of luck when you sell, and hope you hold out for what you think is fair.
