Quoted from DaveH:I might be in the minority of this thread, but I wouldn't pay 2500 for any EM games. Part of the charm of an EM game is how much value it provides. Crazy good value, and so much fun that can be bought inexpensively. I will grant you that it may be because so few people desire them, but when they are in the 2500 range, I want something more.
There is nothing like a well sorted EM. But gives it to me in original shape with 40 years of history. Get it playing well, and set me lose on it. It's going to be a fun night!
I'm with you. Good play for good value.
And to me the nicks, dents, scars, and writing on an EM cabinet tells a great story of its 40+ years of life. "No matter how you treat me I keep going on"
I like making the PF nice and the art on the BG is the whole reason to have it. But small imperfections are ok.
Don't get me wrong a minty survivor is great. I'd love them.
I just am not the guy to drop a grand into a machine I wouldn't pay 700 for.
Who knows. Maybe I'm this way because I just don't have the money or the patience to make them perfect.
