I am in the same boat; I always entertain stupid money offers for my games. If the current going rate is 20K US, I would have to pay 3K in taxes alone if I were to buy another one (and have to import it from the US).

As somebody else noted, in a world where I see a Beatles listed for $15K as I open pinside (it has RARE colors!), and people are dying to pay 1k+ for toppers, and $2500 for LE mods for this game... the price makes sense.

It is a genuinely great game; most of the reviews dogging it are along the lines of "Uh, I don't know what to do. It sucks because I can't be bothered to learn the rules".

That being said even I am tempted to sell mine if things are really getting this out of control!

Learning stuff is hard... you are being obtuse. That is like saying why not just go back to bagatelle, maybe just have a plunger and a single hole the ball may or may not go into, right? Less is better?
