Honestly bally/williams dmd games are not under 2K any longer. I sold a hurricane at 2K in a day this year. Party zone will fall below if it has damaged parts. Which are unobtainium and make the game worth a whole lot less. Gottlieb, Sega and a few data east games can still be had in that range. I sold a decent hook for $1600 recently. But... I sold a wwf, tmnt, and a lah for over 2K which makes me feel most DE titles are climbing out of that range too.

That was my point. One decent B/W pin at just a hair under $2000. But that same pin was $1250 two years ago. The rest of The under $2k pins are Gottlieb, sega, or a few less desirable DE games. There used to be several B/W titles in that range. Those days are over and before you know it you won’t find a hurricane under that. Only B/W games with problems will be less than $2K. A lot of the sega, Gottlieb, DE games just aren’t comparable to same period B/W titles.

I mean obviously to each their own. I have owned several data east titles over the years and enjoyed a lot of them quite a bit. The resale on most of those titles is not the same as bally Williams. It’s just not. I have a JP right now. It’s a cool game. If it were a bally it would be a $3500 game or more. That doesnt mean it’s a bad game or less of a game than any other game because it’s a data east. It’s just the way the market dictates the price.
