    Quoted from Rarehero:

    Average.
    It’s not a literal “museum”.
    I have a feeling a few buyers are gonna go “WTF” when they see what they bought.

    Or maybe not. There are a lot of folks that don't know what the "street price" values are for pins.

    Quoted from Concretehardt:

    Wait until these new collectors who overpaid for their games have something break and render their overpriced toy unplayable. Lifting the hood and troubleshooting a pinball machine for most here is fairly routine, but for your average person it would be like popping the hood on their car and trying to work on it. The difference as we all know is there is a car repair shop in even the smallest of towns, but pinball repair shops not so much. Many of these new collectors may not understand that pinball machines require regular maintenance and may end up with a pretty looking boat anchor sitting in their living room.

    If it's a digital pin, it could easily get serviced by someone - and the owner that just paid 2-3X what he should have for a pin won't have a problem with a few hundred bucks for a tech to put in a new board.

    The EMs though are a different story.

    Quoted from oldbaby:

    So far Rocky selling for 10,000 is the big surprise. (The hammer price is the sale price, right?)
    Someone in the other thread called it a "white cabinet Rocky". Does that just mean the cabinet isn't the original cabinet, or has been painted over?
    Does anyone know if there's anything special about this particular Rocky?
    Edit: I checked it out and there's not, they would have mentioned it in the description.

    Maybe it has a crotch shot of "ADRIAN"?

    Quoted from the9gman:

    not to mention the 2400 Raven ......seriously

    When I think of the "dog days" of Gottlieb, this title pretty much comes to mind.

    #228 2 years ago
    Quoted from Sparky_89:

    Holy Crap. Hercules just sold for 18000 + taxes and fees. Historical value on pinside is 4900... How disappointing for the actual player.

    The game play for Hercules might be worse than a Bally home title.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    Yeah I know a lot of bosses who are looking to buy 10-30 machines for their employee Rec rooms.
    Wait…whut? Is it the 1999 dot com boom?
    Regardless, my boss was only looking for 5 games for our Rec room so he had to pass on the auction.

    In Silly Valley, where engineers are being paid $200K, overpaying by a few $K each for pins for the rec room is no big thing.
