Quoted from T7:You can get one in your range if your patient enough and know enough of the right people.
If you don't know the right people - you could easily be waiting for 3 or 4 years at that price point - LOL.
The individual that mentioned passing on 3 games, also posted that he normally makes a couple thousand when selling expensive games. So he knows the right places to get deals evidently - more so than most pinsiders.
I have made alot of nice connections over the years . I also am very patient and willing to wait for the right deal and not over pay. I also usually make money on pins bc i keep them for years and the price just happens to keep going up on the ones i collect. I also put alot of time in them to make them very nice and play very well, so im not counting my time as money bc i love doing it . Regardless there are plenty of deals around when your not looking lol.
