Quoted from kaneda:Rare I have to teach you how to discuss with people without personally insulting them with your lead in. Let me ask you a question. Real simple question. When in the past 15 years of pinball buying / collecting have 10 titles shipped in one year?
Follow up question: Name me another LE that had 1,000 units made and then another 1,500 made that held it's value.
Also, this is all SPECULATION my friend. You can't say I'm wrong, you're right. By the end of 2016, we shall see what WOZ's are going for. I say closer to 6K. You say no. That's cool. But no need to say my mind is closed and yours is open.
We are going into uncharted territory in 2016 and it's going to shake this market up like never before. Nobody really knows what's going to happen.
You are right. We are in unchartered territory. What has happened to the last 10 years of pinball really doesn't have any bearing on what will happen with the WoZ. There is only one title that can even have impact on WoZ. That is TH. In my mind, it will just enhance WoZ value because it solidifies JJP's long term play in the market as a premium pinball option for those that can afford it. I don't see prices for WoZ dropping because of demand. It simply is a sought after pinball machine to play. Even at expo there are constantly lines for it. It will hold its value much longer than the 9 other titles that get released this year. Why? Because it is in a different class. It quickly is becoming a classic that will be part of most peoples collections.
But you are correct. This is all speculation and frankly doesn't matter much what the price ends up being. I own an LE and won't be selling it. It is by far the favorite pinball we have ever owned.....and we have owned a lot of titles over the years. As for people that visit us, WoZ is by far the most played. Not even a close second...that includes titles such as TZ, MM, IJ, and CV.
It really is that different of a machine. Say what you want about JJP's business practices. They have created a hell of a product that seems to get better and better with every software release.
