Quoted from phil-lee:March 30 2021. At this time (imo) prices on used SS machines are ridiculous, to the point of scaring off long-time Buyers and inhibiting new Collectors from purchases.
Have heard several people say "I'm out until sanity returns".
There will always be the well-heeled who buy NIB no questions asked.
Quality concerns are cutting in to the not so rich Collector purchases, along with rapidly rising prices.
There is a Younger Buyer showing up who will pay inflated prices on used machines, many attribute this to "Lack of education in the Pinball Market"
I hear you on this phil-lee.
Although I can understand selling into the strength of a hot market, I see plenty of overpriced, poorly rated, worn out pins being shoved onto the market lately along with the ever increasing 'pins wanted' ads. Bargains seem ever more rarely sandwiched between these two.
[I am also in agreement about what seems to be the only undervalued sector out there...gold.]
