What is your favorite pin that currently sells for $6000 or less?
Quoted from swf127:What is your favorite pin that currently sells for $6000 or less?
Mine is probably Mousin' Around. It's a great pin for comparatively short money.
The Target Pool that a lady let me haul out of her husbands "hoarder" barn that was covered in animal poop.
Free games are always the best value.
$6000 is a value pin!?
Edit: Almost every pin I’ve owned and currently own are under 6k. Some of you are too much.
Quoted from porkcarrot:$6000 is a value pin!?
My lawyer says I don't have to answer value questions if the amount is $6000.
EMs are hugely overlooked for the flashy lights, sounds, and displays. They are the best "value" in pinball right now. Even early SS games are rising in price. They are my favorite era of pinball, but it's hard for me to call a 3-5k game a "value" game. Shadow is going for 6k easy these days.

Totally, I'd take a Royal Flush, Grand Prix, Wizard, and maybe a Jack's open for 6k and be pretty happy!
I'm biased because I own one but The shadow for me is underestimated (mainly because of the awfull movie franchise that you can change with aurich new translite which transform it from a bad movie theme to a kick ass comic theme.
Mini playfield, surprising lock magnet, switchable ramps, dark but funny atmostphere, realy enjoy it !
Can you occasionally find STTNGs for under 6k? If so, that's my pick.
Roadshow is good, too, especially with the updated ROM that randomized the path through the modes.
Truthfully, I'd probably suggest saving up the extra $700 and buying one of any number of Stern Pros, but that's beyond the scope of the question.

I was away from the hobby for 10 years and just came back earlier this year. It's like coming out of a time machine, man. Everything is crazy expensive and when stuff like MET Premium is going for 10K-12K, where do you put the cutoff? It's nuts.
Stern Star Trek, High Speed, Pinbot, Whirlwind, fish tales, SW pro at a show.
Pick it one? Stern Star Trek.
Lotta pin here.

My Bally Zip-a-Doo. We bought it together and play it together. She has been known to beat me head-to-head by two-flippering it. Those are fun times.
For 6k get 2 Gottlieb System 3 games - Stargate and Barb Wire. 90s games with DMDs that are actually fun.
Quoted from Doctor6:That would be one beat to hell funhouse for under 6k
Estimated value
$6380 - $7420
Oh wow.. yeah, I guess it has shot up quite a bit over the past year or so.

I’d say that’s a difference between us, I don’t even look at the prices of premium machines, let alone consider them some type of baseline. Premium is something to aspire to one day.
