Monkey or no monkey. I'm not paying 11.5k for any pinball. I thought prices got stupid when they crossed the 6500 mark. Now its just ridiculous. I can see a premium price for a rare game in pristine condition. But all of these "limited edition" reds and yellows and emeralds, with sparkly paint, without sparkly paint, with painted rails, without painted rails, with a wooden apron, without?? Who's kidding who? All of those variations cost nothing in the manufacturing process. It's just an attempt to make something ordinary seem special somehow. Just remember an old saying in the antiques field - "nothing sold as a "collectible" will ever be"!
