    What is your favorite pin that currently sells for $6000 or less?

    #3 1 year ago

    I meant Black Knight darn spellcheck

    #4 1 year ago

    Pretty much any Bally or Stern SS game.

    The Shadow

    Mine is probably Mousin' Around. It's a great pin for comparatively short money.

    Stern TMNT is an incredible game. Its brutal. But it's awesome. I find it very underrated on Pinside* but I've no intention of ever selling my Pro. Lots of ads on the Marketplace ~$6k.

    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.

    High Speed

    $6000 is a value pin!?

    Edit: Almost every pin I’ve owned and currently own are under 6k. Some of you are too much.

    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.

    #19 1 year ago

    If I currently had to pick one under $6k...Black Rose

    #20 1 year ago

    Earthshaker, Getaway HS2 (if found for under 6k)

    #21 1 year ago

    Avatar or Transformers would be solid value pins. Maybe X-Men under that too?

    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.

    #25 1 year ago

    I’d also go with The Shadow.
    STTNG is a great machine too.

    #26 1 year ago

    That would be one beat to hell funhouse for under 6k

    #27 1 year ago

    Bang for the buck combo, I’d go with Eight ball deluxe limited and Meteor with new code.

    #28 1 year ago

    Tales From The Crypt

    #29 1 year ago

    Space shuttle!!

    #30 1 year ago

    Batman Dark Knight

    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.

    It used to be that Whitewater was my favorite value game for many years. Now you can't find a Whitewater for $6k even if it is currently on fire.

    Best value game at the moment is without doubt WPT.

    #35 1 year ago

    HS2
    Doctor Who

    #36 1 year ago

    NBA Fastbreak

    #37 1 year ago

    Stars

    #38 1 year ago

    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.

    #39 1 year ago

    For 6k get 2 Gottlieb System 3 games - Stargate and Barb Wire. 90s games with DMDs that are actually fun.

    #40 1 year ago

    Another vote for Dr Who, and Phantom of the Opera.

    #41 1 year ago

    Whirlwind, WPT, T2, BSD, Shadow

    #42 1 year ago

    Jacks to open and Eldorado with cash to spare

    #43 1 year ago

    Stern Spiderman can found in this price range.

    #44 1 year ago

    Wait, there are pins still selling for under $6000?

    #45 1 year ago
    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.

    Capcom Breakshot.

    A lot of pin for the money.

    LTG : )

    #48 1 year ago

    Bk2k, you even get two playfields..... and I never get tired of the sound track.

    #50 1 year ago

    Shadow! I thought I was going to sell or trade it for a while but played it a bunch and started to mod it a little and fell in love with it again. Such a great game!
