Maybe I'm out of the loop or something but probably half of these prices are way out of line...? And "Punball" ?? Never heard of it and was it auctioned off for some sorta charity event or what? Supreme?? I remember seeing some sorta promo for it but there is a reason why only 100 were made....LOL.

Agreed. Whacko prices

I love how the playfield on the supposed NIB Addams is blown out...
Well, I guess they got it right with Loch Ness and Supreme, but not so much with the other titles presented
Bha ha ha ha ha ha! What a joke! Thank you for a great Sunday Morning Laugh! The sad part about this video is there lots of people out there that will believe this bullshit!
"The guardians of the galaxy game is made by the Sterns pinball company. That itself makes it worth more money" AAAH HA HA HA! Now I have to wipe coffee off my monitor after it sprayed from my mouth and nostrils.
I cannot begin to list all the gaffes in that video. Pretty poor for "The place where future billionaires come to get inspired." SMH.
Trouble is that it is YouTube. And between YT and Facebook you cannot believe anything you see or hear, anymore. Nothing is vetted. Anybody can say anything and people take it all at face value without any critical analysis.
It makes me long for censorship to make a return. At least Alex Jones got the boot.

Exactly what happened here too!!

What! What!
How could they have forgotten this one?

I feel kinda ripped off that my taff doesn't have magnets in the lanes and a deck made of stainless steel. Oh well, I'd still sell it for $18k.
But it was mildly entertaining to listen to all the errors, wrong terminology and the absurd pricing of some of the games. Punball? Lol! A pinball about global warming but yet it still uses electricity. Hypocrisy!
But I'm wondering if there's going to be a second follow up that possibly includes an immaculate Baywatch or maybe a $65k Twilight Zone???

You mean the Earth is not flat? There is no NWO underground city under the Denver National airport? Nevermind Obama was born in Kenya, but your saying he is not a reptilian shapeshifter alien?
I think this video was created by a computationally-challenged AI and narrated by a force-retired phone sex worker.
Quoted from Pinballlew:There is no NWO underground city under the Denver National airport
NO No it's the Alien Underground Bunkers under DIA. I spent 6 years out there building and testing that train system. The stories were hellarious! The part that wasn't hellarious was how much had to be torn out redone. Runways, HVAC, Baggage System, Plumbing, Leaky Roof. Heck they are still fixin .......
Quoted from PinMonk:How did Avatar pinball make a "most expensive" list?.
Games are worth what people will pay for them so it's possible.
Now, the other 'facts' aboot Avatar like "Quickly gaining popularity,"Quality gaming experience, & "A cult like following" I'm taking issue with.
kind of makes you wonder how many other internet documentaries are so full of inaccuracies. But with over 7000 views maybe it will lead to a few new sales.
I thought it was a nice touch to include some images from Pinball Arcade.
Looks like someone at Alux is trying to unload his Jetsons.
Anyone with production skills feel like making a YouTube rebuttal?
Wow - very interesting - was perfect to watch/listen to while I was doing some chores. Nice we got a mention in it - us nerds not knowing what Supreme was before the pinball machine came out.

Idiotic video, but it was probably correct that punball has been the highest selling pinball machine ever. Surprised you had not heard about it. It's been discussed before here on pinside. But it sold more for art rather than any pinball value.
Quoted from MAJRob:Wow! What about BBB, Kingpin, King Kong, or my awesome Monday Night Football? This youtube video can lick the duckbutter off my ballz!
ARAGATO!
Rob
Yeah I thought the same thing, but there just going off the "decks" that are bought and sold everyday.

I guess its the name that turned me off from the get go so I never paid any attention to it as it didn't make any sense but now that I know a little bit about it's value I'll do some research. Perhaps someone should reproduce PUNBALL and sell it for half that price?...what a bargain that would be huh?
John
guardians wasnt even the LE, they had the AFMRSE but not the LE? AVATAR?!?! JETSONS?!?! talk about dumb. "All paddles are mechanical making the game harder." TF. "Paddles are covered in rubber to increase control." All flippers are supposed to have rubbers dumbass. where is BBB, King Pin, or even cactus canyon? dumb video, i feel dumber from watching that.

I know there has been a thread and discussion about rarity of pinball machines, but has anyone tried to make a top-10 "probably most expensive pinball machines of the world"? We could try to make a better list. I would not include homebrew on the list at all.
Here's my take on it, please correct it, so we get a better end-result:
Kingpin
Magic Girl
Loch Ness
Supreme
King Kong
Bing Bang Bar
Big Lebowski
Cactus Canyon
Pinball Circus
Krull
Quoted from HookedonPinonics:The way she says "dollars" makes me want to punch the screen
Vocal fry. The whole video is unwatchable for me with her voice.
