    $500-$999 for a WORKING* EM (with the exception of extremely rare games) - the very top $200 of that ONLY if The playfield has minimal wear, the backglass has minimal (or no) flaking and the cabinet is original and in exemplary condition.

    Over $1,000 is still "rarified air" for EMs.

    *WORKING also includes "properly functioning" - not "it lights up" as you often see on Craig's List LOL

    I feel like Pinrescue aims to serve a clientele different than Pin collectors - but alternately a market of people who seek to own ONE quality machine and have it be a novelty showpiece in their home (as opposed to being one of a "lineup" in a gameroom) - and they offer the white glove treatment and warranty that comes with that. That's how I perceive the business model - and nothing wrong with it if they are getting the sales (which they same to be).

    Bottom line - I do not feel like WE (pinsiders) are their market.

    Quoted from egyptrus:

    Does anyone know if Russ at Pinrescue actually posts the price he sold the game for or does he just write "sold" over the top of his asking price? I think I've heard before that he just notes that it was sold and doesn't actually post what it sold for.

    This is actually none of our business. Just sayin'.
