Are you kidding me? These prices are insane for a game that has become nothing but a status symbol for collections......... As listed on Mr. Pinball classifieds. Good grief!

Medieval Madness. 10,500

Medieval madness: this game is complete but extremely worn out. There are a couple bad switches, pop bumper broke, lights out, misc. The game needs to be completely restored as it currently looks horrible. If you are looking for a medieval to restore this is the one for you. I have lots of pictures available. I will help with shipping. I am also open to trades for other pinball machines. Please no scammers.

I could fill my gameroom with a lot of great games for the amount of an MM. I don't really even care for the game much. Meh.

Yeah you got me there Marmon, I can't afford one, nor would I want a demolished one for over 10,000 dollars. It's just astonishing to me at the price of this machine, especially the asking price of this one. Sorry to all for starting another price thread. I'll start threads that seem to be more appealing to pinside lately like what led's should I use or what should my next machine be or what mod should I use on my TZ or what color should I powder coat my armor.

I'm not going to make any assumptions about your ability to afford MM. I would however like to point out that you yourself call MM nothing but a "status symbol" yet it's under your "Wishlist". The fact of the matter is no matter how crazy MM's price is, it's a fantastic game.

MM is actually the worst player of the main 3 Eddy games. I could barely stand handing over $6500 for mine in 2010. I dunno how people pay what they pay now for it. However I would love to buy one in the condition like the one posted for 6-8k. I would restore the hell outta it and make a killing.

Thanks J, my only reason why I started this was because I think price on this particular ad is insane. Would I like one, yes, it just seems like people drool over this machine to say they have one. It is a great game, but 10,500 for one that is beat up and battered and being sold for that price made me chuckle, that's all.

MM prices? Prices on many DMD's are stupid. The whole market has been stupid for the past year and a half. This is no shocker. Might be the Spocker.

The game isn't even that good (or so everyone says), so why the the concern? Buy an AC/DC Premium and keep the extra $5K for your retirement!

HA! Retirement. You joker. You know damn well we'd use it to buy another game. or 2 or 3. and 2 or 3 other games that are more fun than MM.

It's expensive for a reason.... its a great game! Not everyone shares that opinion but based on the demand and pricing the majority agree. MM never lasts long when listed for sale unless the asking price is way above market value.... which unfortunately for those that don't have one; market value seems to be $12.5K+ for a nice one these days.

Actually, it is very easy to see what the market value is on this.

If it sells, it is not over priced. If it sits, it is over priced.

(Personally I think it will sit until he has to come down. Since I'm not in the market for one, my opinion matters little)

Some people enjoy the game that much.

We could argue supply and demand, again, but why ?

And people do tend to hang onto them because if they ever change their mind and want it back again they may not find one, or find one they can afford.

A good thing you don't collect stamps or coins or muscle cars. $10K is nothing in those hobbies.

The price has been this way for a couple years and there are already 5 it so whiners complaining about prices in new threads per week. All that I can conclude is you can't afford it so you come here in frustration to cry about it. If you don't like people thinking that them don't come here to complain about the prices. No shame in not being able to afford it.

You could always work more or try to improve your career by taking more college classes etc. Anyone can improve his financial situation in our economy. Perhaps spend the energy doing those things rather than complaining in here.

Personally, I'm tired of all these people complaining about prices. But hey anyone can say anything. It's a forum. So I'll just be here to point out (often) that people that cant afford the games are the ones they are price complainers.

MM is a fun game, but it's not going to change how l put my pants on in the morning. lt is what it is. lt's a pinball machine. At the end of the day, l like to play pinball. l don't like to pay 10 grand for a wooden box with a ball because l get to bash a Castle. Different strokes different folks. Being able to afford it has nothing to do with it for many people, and it's ignorant to assume otherwise. Not everyone pays that premium, either...And for those that don't, more power to you. For the dreamers and wishers and gotta have its, l quote Indiana Jones.
