Quoted from delt31:

I've seen the same and really thought about listing mine but decided not to. IMO, the game is not going to be remade, it's top 5 no question, loaded beyond belief, etc, etc. In a hobby where toppers sell for 2k, I can see why this is going for 20k.
plus the money would just go back into pinball and I would just miss the POTC.
and maybe 25k two years from now if it's never remade ; )

Exactly. I want to jump on this $20K train as well, but as my wife says, "you're just going to buy other pinballs with it," and she's right. If I had endless space I'd consider it, but I'm running out of that anyway.

Quoted from Mrsiyufy:

I paid $13,500 for an LE in October and felt like an idiot paying so much, that being said I wouldn’t sell mine for 25k - it’s bolted to the floor!

I paid $9.5K last October and feel like I should send him some Valentines chocolates and a teddy bear.

But I'm not selling either so it's irrelevant unless I need emergency money.

Quoted from brickbuilder14:

There is another very simple reason for these current prices. Inflation. Look at the price of most things you want right now. For example, prime real estate, collectibles (Sport's cards), almost any assets that is scarce. All of their prices have shot up since February. The Gov printed more money this year than most decades. That money had to go somewhere. $12,000 in February was worth a lot more than $17,000 is now... POTC is a rare game therefor it went up in price since people who buy Pinball machines have more money now than they did in February. My two cents.

Good point, and to expand on it, pinball prices have been exploding since the early 2010s, but the huge jump in the past year fits in pretty consistently with pandemic economics in general. Home sales, and things that can be done in the home, have all been doing incredibly well.
