Anyone else notice machines are getting more and more expensive. I think we all have. Often the values of some machines on pinside make me laugh and then wish they were that cheap. It's really hard to get your foot in the door if you're staring a collection and you like DMD machines. Hell, even the Alphanumerics are getting up there. Plus it doesn't help that there are one or two companies I'm sure we've all seen on ebay that "professionally restore" (aka clean the parts of the playfield that are easy to reach, put on new rubbers only where it's REALLY obvious the rubber is bad, and then claim the machine has been carefully cleaned and fixed to the finest detail) who then price the machine in the $3000 to $8000 range no matter what machine it is because apparently no machine is too crappy (even jokerz) to cost around $3000. These companies are responsible for inflated prices as sellers see machines going for this high and then jack up their price accordingly.
Any comments?
