Projects at 2005 prices :)

[Sgt GrizZ]

Was searching (or attempting to ) the UKPinball Yahoo group for something and came across an old Pins Anon post of some projects for sale. Might be of interest to see where things were 10 years ago

Oh and back in the day Pins Annon was not one of the cheapest sellers.

Always thought his prices were fair enough.

In 2005 I bought my first Wh20 from him. Filthy dirty, but cleaned up ok. £400 I think.

Fair yes, but stuff could be had cheaper from elsewhere.
Wish Pins Annon was still with us. Sadly missed.

Hey, you might think that's bad Grizz, but look on the bright side - at least you were involved in the hobby back then and had a chance to grab a bargain. ;-)

(Although I realise it only seems a bargain looking back on it now).

Spare a thought to us poor saps who've only come into the hobby recently. I still think I got a steal paying £600 for my R&B and then I look at that price list and shake my head in wonderment....

Prices are one thing, projects are another. Seems like the days of abundant beat-up pins has long gone. I'm always looking for projects, but they're few and far between now.
