I just got into Pinball ownership this year. Didn't even start looking for a machine until this year. So I have no idea what machines used to cost before 2021.
Have they always been so high!? $6-10k for new ones. About the same for good used ones. Seems crazy to me!
Did the pandemic drive up prices? Or has this been an ongoing trend?
How long have new ones cost over $6K?

Geez. Point made. I should have searched first.
Yikes.
Way to haze the new guy.

Yup! Plenty of room right next to it for at least one, if not 2 more!
Just gotta come up with the funds for them (and convince the wife).

While I am new to pinball ownership, I have loved pinball since the 80s and have always wanted to own one since then. As a kid, we had a shuffle alley machine in my house, and loved that thing! Only sorry I didn't get to have it when my mom moved out of that house. She left it with the new owner of the house, because she didn't think I'd want to move the machine. Drives me crazy that she didn't ask me!

For that kind of money, I better be able to drive that thing around the block!
