is the market unusually sleepy?
- Thread starter cooldan
- Start date
That was an anomaly due to rarity and being highly sought after.
Anyone can see the market is down.

in typical stern fashion didn’t the rarity disappear in a puff of remastered le and prem smoke this week?!

Think that was a perfect timing sale to be honest.
Though that and GB premium do tend to sell well from that era.
Only down from covid price madness, back to normality.
Mate, where are you looking?
There is a sea of red in the for sale section. I struggled to sell my Pro on here, Facebook and eBay. I know of others that have machines up for sale outside of here and have not sold.
What’s ’normality’ then?
There is hardly any movement of games at the minute, the market is going to collapse in on itself before it get better.
Do you have anything coming up for sale by any chance?
At my own collection for a start, in the last few months i’ve sold 20k’s worth and bought 2 stern pros. Lot of sales going on off forum, Martin is as busy as ever.

I looked at the Police force ad when it went up. It could just be my suspicious nature but the description looked like it was copied from somewhere and the pics weren't good either. Not for me to cast doubts on the authenticity but to me it doesn't sound right...Try £1500 on this
Pinball Machine Police force 1989 | eBay
Is perfect for both beginners and experienced players. With its vibrant colours and eye-catching design, it is sure to be a great addition to any gaming collection. Experience the thrill of playing pinball with this Police Force pinball machine.www.ebay.co.uk
Or £1800 on this
My Pro sale happened off the forum, but a swallow doesn’t make a summer.
You are in the minority if you think the market is free flowing.
Exactly this!
I assumed it was the same one that someone has been trying to sell (broken) on facebook for month, so I ignored it
Dropped to 2k, iv never seen a 90s DMD go for less then 2k on here! (maybe a gilands island?) But think that's pretty good bang for your buck for a 90s DMD game.
Lets see how that goes
Certainly during the 20-23 frenzy I’d say 2k was prob the baseline but def has been sub 2k titles since you been a member dude.
Sold my lovely Popeye ( still pains me
) in 2019 on here for 1750. Though that’s another game folk love to hate on 
Good luck with the sale - sadly truth is Gottlieb DMDs have always trailed BW and Data East in both value and desirability. Stargate the obvious exception .

To be fair to Mark it IS just price ultimately, Im sure if i put me pins up for 50 quid each there would be a que outside the door.
When i last saw martin earlier in the year he also said he was stacked, which i was also surprised to hear. So there must be stuff moving, its just price.
Happy with my collection now, but biggest issue id have is space, if i cant move one on, then i cant bring in anything new. Id imagine theres plenty of people in the same boat.

Normality is modern pins not selling for more than new price, like things were pre-covid.
And no, I've done my selling for this year, actually hate selling but it's a necessity when I want to try new ones. Wouldn't mind a Jaws premium so if one comes up at a reasonable price I may be forced to sell something and I guarantee it will sell, can't imagine we'll get all the way back to scrapping pins for parts like in the 90's.
I took a big hit on Rick & Morty this year but only because I bought when prices where abnormal, I accept that, but it still sold and I could have sold it 3 times over if I'd reduced it a bit more.

This pin has a long-ish history on the forum. Alan J bought it as a project and did a mini shop-log on it (https://www.pinballinfo.com/community/threads/pinbot-mini-shop-log.48203/) before selling it in January (https://www.pinballinfo.com/community/threads/pinbot-£1600-ono.51823/) to Crewey, who did the following work on it:

Martin may well be be busy but that could well be trades/swaps or just house moves. Mind you, he loves driving so much he could be just driving in circles!
Martin usually has 3-4 for me on the van at any one time.
My pinball fund has about enough money for 2 more machines in it, so let's see if there is any impact on prices when I stop buying about 25% of all the machines forsale on here
Actually that could be a cool remake / Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan time travel back to the dawn of the 18th Century and sort out all the wars in Europe through the medium of basketball .
These things write themselves. Get to it Stern !
Lethal William III
Make that 1 more
I’d totally buy that.
Stern, are you reading this? You asked about original themes…
HOLD MY SCEPTRE!!!!!
I think the will be about 10k the last mm on here was 13k
