    I started with a $300 Genie. I was way in over my head, it was trashed. Restored it and sold it for $1300. At that time about 6-8 years ago, you would see Addams Family for sale for around $3500, and those were eBay prices which were out to lunch.. And there was a ton of them at that price. I remember thinking I would never pay that much for a game. I would rather find a beater and fix it myself. That never happened. Now people are asking 11K to 17K for them. I should have bought as many as I could fit in my house back then. That was my grail game at the time. I would still like to have one but not willing to give up MMr, AFMr, CCr, or Halloween for it.
