Quoted from davewtf:when people stop paying insane prices
Quoted from Whysnow:If you are not buying , then it has stoppped for at least one person...
All true, but if everyone else keeps paying I'm out of this hobby soon. 
Quoted from LTG:Not to mention, if you want a particular game, and want a really great one. What would a top of the line restoration cost ?
A High End Pins job on Banzai Run would like end up way more than $11K when you add in the price of a base game, all new parts, and labor.
LTG : )
As long as people don't see this ad and start pricing their beater Banzai Runs at 6K or their FT at 5K or their WH2O at 7K...oh wait, that last one already happened. 
And there is an 8K Baywatch on Mr. Pinball today. Awesome. I can't wait to see all the local craigslist ads for 4K Baywatches saying its a deal because hey, look at the 8K one!
Quoted from PinballHelp:Sale prices for TAF as illustrated above are relatively stable.. they're going up only ever-so-slightly.
There is a ~$2000 rise in your chart for TAF on average over presumably the last 2 years if it's the same time frame as the previous chart. That is hardly what I would call "ever-so-slightly".
Quoted from CaptainNeo:NIB is actually the direct reason why prices shot up so much on the old stuff. In 2007, I bought LOTR NIB shipped from teh factory to my door for $3400 (shipped). Back then, buying a STTNG, or SS or whatever for 3k wasn't worth it, because for $400 more , you can buy a brand new game. 2 years later, sterns decides to double their price on the complete version. So now NIB costs you $5600...then $5800...then $6100. Then $6500...now what is it? Like $6800? So paying 3k for a STTNG (when they were 2k all day long) doesn't seem so bad. Sterns and JJP keep jacking up the price, to see how far they can push the envelope before people finally say...you know what. Fuck you. And wait, until they are clearanced out, because everyone refuses to pay. They could ask 10k right now for games, and there are some that would still pre order the shit. That's why prices have shot up so high the past year.
That is EXACTLY correct IMO.
