I have been trying to sell these four machines and a few other in Central PA for about 2 months now with very little interest. All are completely shopped (new rings, playfields striped completely cleaned and waxed, new rings & bulbs, etc.). Just wondering if it is my price, just slow this year or what?

Close Encounters is a SUPER nice machines cosmetically - completely shopped - remote battery installed - clean boards - nice backglass - nice original paint on cabinet and great playfield. Asking $650

Dragon - well above average - completely shopped - nice board set - no playfield wear - fairly nice cabinet - and just minor paint loss on backglass (reds touched up). Asking $550

Amazon Hunt - above average condition - good board set - cosmetically very nice but not super - minor flaking on backglass but looks good from front (touched up before I bought it). $550

And lastly Ready-Aim-Fire - average condition overall $550

Am I being fair at these prices? All 4 machines are worth more than my asking price in parts, all are clean, working 100%, ready to plug & play. I have almost my asking price invested in each so I really don't have much room to lower prices but I really hate to part out 4 nice working machines.

Thanks!

I am mostly interested in figuring out what is going on with low end pinball machine sales this year. Don't get me wrong - we are selling machines and this is just an out of control hobby for us but my low end stuff just isn't moving this Fall.

Last year I couldn't keep pins that were priced under about $600 - this year I can sell anything priced under $600? I have sold 8 machines in 3 months - all those people originally came to look at one of these machines and ended up buying my $750 to $1500 machines instead. Last year if it was over $750 they wouldn't even look at it?

I figure if they are not gone by the first of the year I can always part them out but I really hate to go that direction with nicer machines. If any of them had trashed backglass or worn playfields I wouldn't feel as bad making them into parts.
