Quoted from EricHadley:I think the next time the economy goes into the toilet you'll see people dumping machines on the market to pay the mortgage. Excess supply and less demand will force prices down.
I guess that means you'll be selling your Tron VE? 
Quoted from Liakos:I agree.... what goes up must come down.
Supply and demand...
Too many games coming out...
Limited space... too much choice..
Remakes, vaults etc....
Prices will come down...
I remember when few years back when classic bally Williams 93 to 95 wouldn't stay on market for 2 minutes....
Now it's the opposite and they have come down a lot in price....
Whoever thinks they will keep going up is silly
Classic B/W from the 90s are coming down "a lot" in price???
REAAAAALLLLY. Where, pray tell? Uzbekistan?
Quoted from Liakos:How much was afm, totan, CV, af, etc couple years ago , and how much are they now...
How long were they on the market before they got sold?
I'm not talking about Nigeria I'm talking about Canada...
Restored monster bashes, afm etc were going for 10 to 13 k cad here couple years ago...
Selling immediately...
Is it the same now?.
Maybe in the states but in Canada it's not...
As far as I can tell Totan is selling for more now, than ever. AFM has always been in that 6-8 range (where it is now). Perhaps MB might come down some.
But look at every other BW title. They are all going up. Adams? Up. TZ? Up. Just about every B-title? Up.
Have you looked for a BSD, WcS94, Johnny, or Fish Tales recently? Up
Quoted from PinLen83:There is a GB on location that made almost $24k in 3 years. I doubt the maintenance/time down was even an issue. Granted, it's in a busy area, and it was a popular title also in a known popular pinball location.
A pinball machine made $24,000 in 3 years?!?
Quoted from PinLen83:Yes sir. That is not a misprint.
*Edit: It's actually $25k*
That's gotta be the outlier of all outliers.
Where is the location?
Quoted from pinnyheadhead:How many PF’s? You likely don’t like Sterns and that is
totally ok, but you really think you need to change out PF’s
before
a stern game hits 25,000 plays? Let me find the ST on
location
link.
Not all make it that long but this one got in the $25000 in
earnings rangehttps://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/stern-star-trek-with-4938-plays-pics
It’s not in the $25k range... it’s in the $15k range. Op says he had a 50/50 split. So the game has paid for itself and a little extra.
Quoted from pinnyheadhead:Hmmm. That is a bad split if one of his games does that much
volume. He needs to renegotiate
I’m super impressed it’s made that much - of course, that’s spread over 4+ years. You start doing the math and you’re not making much.
It would be really interesting to calculate the machines
monetary impact on the location... although the variables you’d
need to track would require some pretty heady research and stats
analysis. Could be done... but you’d probably piss off all of your
customers with the process
