    Quoted from rai:

    One thing (imo) would not narrow the pins down to just The shadow and 3 other pins (etc) and just $3500.
    With that you are limited to maybe a few possible games locally. I would more look for anything mildly popular in good shape good price local.
    I’m established with a decent collection so I can pick only one specific pin if I want. But if I was starting out it doesn’t matter if it’s The Shadow or T2 is something else. If it’s decently popular you can sell it or trade later.

    This is a good point. You might think you know what you want, but when you get it home and play 10-20 games in an hour you might find out it doesn't click for you. This has happened many times for me and only recently did I find my third long term keeper to fill my last spot. You'll be moving them in and out in no time.
