Glad to see this reasonably priced , it was about 10500 usd new plus freight if dealer didn’t shop for free . I always wanted a wonka for the collection

There is a GB pro on pinside for 9k usd and it was 5999 new insane .

Ghostbuster's are all very high. Premiums go for LE prices in the US these days.

Shit sure is nuts makes me want to sell everything now and buy them back at 1/2 price where they were a year ago cause this won’t last we are two or more years past a financial correction in the USA

Unfortunately I don't think the correction/bubble burst will ever happen. Collectors have been expecting it for over 20 years, yet prices somehow keep going up. I definitely think they will plateau for a while but doubt they will creep down much.

The crazy pinflation that was caused the pandemic also means there are far more ppl with pinball machines now as they had money to blow on toys instead of vacations. While not all will keep buying machines, I think a good portion will. We all started with just 1 game.

You may be right, but remember the stock market goes up 70% of the time on average, but then falls back down. I think we are due for at least a level, but that may be wishful thinking as I miss the days of getting a new pin in the house, play it, beat it, trade it for another (give or take a few bucks) and repeat - now you have to be pretty careful....

I have to say I’m not one to talk about the term bubble burst but …. All these pins doubled in the last year so that’s not a market increase that’s sheer madness . And I think they will come down a bit when the people can’t pay mortgages and they have to sell these extra toys that still have value . I will be ready to buy lol

I think the guys that are buying these machines have money… pinball is a luxury and would be pretty stupid to put yourself at financial risk over it

People have literally been saying this for 20 years, probably before. The last US recession had zero impact on pin prices. Few that own pins are gonna be in a position that they need to sell their expensive toys to put food on the table.

All good , some say they don’t travel far to pickup pins but I do . And yea they have one or two in their living room they don’t have collections etc and I’m sure it’s a luxury for all that’s why it’s first to go if shot does hit the fan . I’m not trying to argue but we all have a point of view .. the pins doubled in last 12 months that’s not normal :)

Anyways back to the real topic this great pin priced accordingly for the market .
