Quoted from cottonm4:Good news travels. Bad news travels fast. If a pin hits the market and soon after you start seeing them for sale and lousy reviews start popping up, then resale prices take a hit and buyers shy away.
Everyone who has played The Beatles has talked about how how it is fast and fun to play. So I don't see anyone selling at distressed prices. I don't see anyone selling at all. And maybe more people are starting to think The Beatles is a "safe" buy that will hold a good resale price.
I think I will do my little pinside sales picture weekly and watch how sales do---on pinside anyway.
I guess this is an example of everyone has different tastes. I played it for the first time (14 plays) at Pinball Pete's in East Lansing. I don't get it. I thought it was less than "meh". The music clips are spectacular, but the game play was just plain boring to me - hit 3 banks of targets and go around the big loop. No ramps, no novelty, nothing. It seems like a regurgitated SS layout for $9K. I guess I will be one less guy competing to buy one new or used. I literally have no desire to ever play it again.
I will say that if you are a Beatles fan, I can see the attraction. Its probably similar to BTTF.... essentially crappy games but the theme is why anyone would own it.
