I just got a big order from Marco delivered, including my 2012 Mr. Pinball Price Guide. Wow. Name an A-List title, and it is up big. Up arrow trend across the board on the big names. From TAF to WH20 - they all indicate the highest level of value increase over last year.

I don't know how cool that it is to just post the prices. It is published material. I don't have a problem throwing a requested price out there if someone needs it, but I don't want to just post a big list and have someone get pissed.

I would then guess that MM is now up to $8475 and TZ at $4175.

Ummmm....I am sitting with the book right in front of me.

Page 41......2012 Value for Twilight Zone = $4175

The Pinside price estimate says $3140 - $3660. I would guess that Mr. Pinball is about $40 higher than the top end of the Pinside price range.

That said, it was a huge jump for TZ. I couldn't believe that one, in particular. It looks like this guide is getting more in line with what we are actually seeing some A List machines going for. There are always rumors and grumbles about $6500 MMs, but I haven't seen one below $8500 in a year. The guide reflects that now.

I don't care about that, at all. It's more that I don't want to piss off anyone trying to sell more of these guides.

That said, there has been some healthy discussion of WH20 around here today, and I believe that its value is relevant. $2200 - which is an increase of at least $200 over last year's value (that is the only info I have about the Trend over last year, as I didn't buy it in 2011).

No problem. Stuff is up pretty much across the board, no?

All of those prices seem to be about spot on around here. Well, I think the guide is still low on a few titles - most notably MB, AFM and WH20.

MB - $5925
AFM - $4750
WH20 - 2200

I think all three of those titles go for more money, in nice condition. MB is hitting $7500, AFM is easily at $6000, and WH20 is above $2500 - approaching $3K. At least, from what I have seen lately. I would love to have a MB in good shape for $5925. I wouldn't even make a counter offer if someone offered me $4750 for AFM.

The guide values aren't for "decent" or "unrestored" games. There are guidelines to multiple by .50 or .75, etc....if the machine is not in great condition. An unrestored MB is not worth $5925, according to the guide.

....and there are not 4K AFMs around. Not in good shape, at least. I can show you two that were listed today for over $6K, one of which is generating a lot of positive response on RGP and will be sold by tomorrow. can you show me any for $4000?

Depends on the build year - from $3275 (2003) to $3975 (2009)
