I’m looking to purchase a modern pin (i.e., manufactured within the last 10 years or so). My budget is $5,000 or so. I want to make sure whatever I buy has a good chance of holding its value and desirability. To be clear, I’m not looking at it as an investment. I just want to make sure that when I want to sell it or trade it I will be able to do so in a reasonable time frame. Any suggestions? Related to that question, do non-licensed pins maintain their level of desirability more than licensed pins. For example, I love Rob Zombie and one can be had in my price range. However, that pin seems to be dropping in value and not holding steady. Again, any advice is much appreciated!

Great! Thanks everyone for the good advice. I really appreciate it. Looks like a HUO Stern pro is a great option.

Quoted from Pinballlew:
You can probably score a Rob Zombie for a great price now that shouldn’t drop any lower. I actually think later it will be worth more but that’s pure speculation.

What do you think a great price for a Rob Zombie? There is one local to me. Asking $5,400. Says $800 of mods but I know mods don’t add a lot of value.

Quoted from cheshirefilms:
The first two horror titles from Spooky have been hit or miss at holding their values, depending on condition.
Also, they play more like "homebrew" pins than legit top tier games,
So I'd really put a Spooky game dead last between a Stern and a CGC

Got it. I’ll stick with a Stern. Thank you.
