Quoted from Ballypin:Bought my first game in 1988 from a Trading Post ad. $ 200 Bally Flip Flop.
Got into the DMD's in 2000. Found a sample TZ from a Cincinnati operator and paid $ 2,000 (with tax). Bought from a Louisville and Columbus operator and prices were 2000 for CV, 1800 CFTBL, 1900 TOM, 2000 TOTAN, 2200 RFM. AFM was 2600 but did not buy. Sold these all off by 2003.
Got back in 2007-08 and prices were up to 3900 TZ and 3500 for a sample CV. Sold off again by 2010.
Current prices have doubled again
Been there done that. Got into the hobby in 1998: $1300 TZ, $1250 STTNG, $1300 RS, $2000 ToM (including shipping from EU for RS & ToM), $1800 TOTAN, $1750 Safecracker. Got out of the hobby in 2005 and sold them all at a nice profit ($3500 TZ as an example). Come back into in 2017 and wish I still had them all..........
