None of mine I have what I actually forked over in cash form in them, but the most cash I ever handed for one was $7k for my nice original AFM

Quoted from PDX_Pinball:A better question might be what's the most you've ever lost on a pin. If you buy a 12k pin, play it for a year and sell it for 12k, most people will be really happy about that. It's the 7k Congo after restoration that you sell for 5k that hurts.
The most I lost was $600 on a RFM.
I just bought my 100th pin that I've owned last week. I've never lost money on a pin, either break even or made money. Only one I ever lost on was the shipping on a game. I bought my first Banzai Run for $4k and paid $300 to have it shipped from Massachusetts. Ended up trading it for $2k in cash and a really nice Al's Garage Band which I subsequently sold for $2k. So, I lost the $300 in shipping. Not bad at all for a hobby. In fact, between buying, selling, trading, home repairs and the few games I have on location, I have nothing actually invested in my collection -- it's paid for itself.
