Yep great point and undoubtedly true, just a feeling I’ve got.IMHO, prices just will not fall that much. the price of spare parts is steadily rising and so the intrinsic “sum of parts” value of even the poorest games is steadily rising too.

People have been saying this literally since I got into pins …. 20 years agoIt’ll all come crashing down I think, apart from select titles to a lesser extent. The pricing is simly not sustainable and built on very flimsy foundations….
Just my thought and could be talking complete b*llocks…..
Que sera sera
I agree with you regarding prices not falling that much. In all the different hobbies I’ve been into over the last 15 years or so, there have always been the same debate about rising prices and how it won’t last, or they will crash down, be it classic cars or vintage toys etc.IMHO, prices just will not fall that much. the price of spare parts is steadily rising and so the intrinsic “sum of parts” value of even the poorest games is steadily rising too.

JP2- 2.5kMorning all, to manage my expectations for when I offer a MET Pro up for trade soon, I'd like to get a feel for which machines would be a relatively close straight trade and which ones would likely require me putting cash on top of my machine.
What would you suggest the value of the following are currently?
Dialed In (saw above estimate for an LE, is the standard lacking without the ramp lights?; is the rest of the lighting the same?
Walking Dead (pro/Prem)
Stern JP2
Oktoberfest
Iron Maiden
Dark Knight
Monster Bash (og/remake)
AFM (og/remake)
Revenge from mars (w/lcd conversion)
BK: Swords of Rage
Stranger Things
Theatre of magic
Scared Stiff
Thank you very much
No, this is the place to solicit offers on a machine you're going to sell, without having to make a For Sale Thread.Is this the right place to ask about 'how much is this table worth thread' or another thread on "a price crash is a coming", or "moan about prices", or "we are all going to be living under a bridge"?
I was just browsing Pinside and saw this thread....started 10 years ago.People have been saying this literally since I got into pins …. 20 years ago
There has to be a ceiling though, and the world in general does feel more ****ed then I ever remember in my life so anything could happen.

"Thinking of selling my X, how much is it worth?" - followed by numerous inbox emails no doubt.
But then again, where are you meant to get a valuation of your machine?
This sold very recently on eBay.What's a good price for a players SouthPark these days? (cabinet button wear etc..) £3400? or is that too much?
Yeah I saw this, I thought it was too much lol, but now I don't no....This sold very recently on eBay.

South Park pinball machine | eBay
The machine is in great condition, fully working and ready for a new owner. South Park pinball machine by Sega. More than happy to discuss.www.ebay.co.uk
That one has the dreaded skill posts….. run for the hills ahhh..Yeah I saw this, I thought it was too much lol, but now I don't no....
Do skill posts really hurt the resale that much lol? Are all SouthParks in U.K. skill posts? Or some exist without?That one has the dreaded skill posts….. run for the hills ahhh..
I had one without. In fact I’m surprised there were any with ? … I thought that was post Sega (no pun intended) I know this was last Sega so maybe . Just always associated them with early 2000 Sterns but could be because didn’t see as many pins in the wild at that time. Sold on here for 1700 (I think) in 2019Do skill posts really hurt the resale that much lol? Are all SouthParks in U.K. skill posts? Or some exist without?
I’ve seen the ad, think he said he’s had it 10 years or so. It reads like it’s been his only machine so his experience of what outstanding condition is might be limited…..How much should I pay for "Junkyard" in outstanding condition? That was the term used by seller, and the pictures seems to back it up.
I also contacted him. He mentioned that he has been collecting pinballs for 20 years, and that's his wife's machine.I’ve seen the ad, think he said he’s had it 10 years or so. It reads like it’s been his only machine so his experience of what outstanding condition is might be limited…..
He lost it when I pointed out that he was contradicting himself, and that it was a bit confusing. He went berserk when I sent him the Pinball Info link about price advice. He blocked me up after that
That was kind of him, after losing his temper. To compensate, as it were. What did he actually give you, Purple Hearts?
