| There has to be some pinheads on this forum. I am looking for any of the Chicago gaming remakes, Stern Elvira House of Horrors, Addams Family, WOZ (Wizard of Oz) and will consider others. I am now selling numerous books including a FF49 and a GSX1, but have lots else. | ||

| Man. Dragging all those pinball machines around at a con must be a huge pain the rear. |

I once picked up some original art from a collector who was buying pins. I believe it was a bad deal for him in the end. He traded away a page from Avengers 1  along with other early pieces. In the long run, the pages are now worth about 3/4's of a million.But....as long as he made money on the pages and put the money into something he loved, it was good for him. I have sold pieces in the past to pay for other collectibles as well. Sometimes I did great, sometimes only ok. |

| Pinball machines suffer from difficult transportation / high logistics costs. Also take up a decent amount of space. All not great for speculating and a bit more like cars (for investing). On the plus side, relatively easy to work on, at least for pins made through the 90s. Again, some similarity to cars up through the 90s :-) |

| @Davethebrave Maybe but my 8 year old loves our machine. He'd play it everyday if he could. We already have great memories built in the time we have owed it. We are thinking of adding another one next year. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Towmater I don’t disagree. I have two (one setup) and my son loves it (wife and I do too). Just saying that the pinball market doesn’t rise and fall through speculation like some other collectibles. It is just a more difficult collectible to trade. Love our pins and hope to add more in the future. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Davethebrave I agree with the above. The market's pricing surged when all the hipsters were buying. That seems to have leveled off and the older machines are declining in price. Personally, I like the machines from the 1970's. I was a kid playing them then. Yep, they do play slower than the modern games but as you pointed out they are easier to work on if they break. If one lives in a bigger town there are deals to be had. I could have bought a 1960's machine that had been totally restored for under $600.00. It was a single player machine. It looked and operated like a new machine. The issue was that it was in a basement and would have had to have been lugged up a staircase with a turn. I would have had to move it and haul it back to our town. That would have been 2 1/2 hours of drive time up and 2 1/2 hours back down. So, we passed. |

The Deadpool machine was like $10k when I was thinking of buying one. Put that money towards the mortgage instead. Still want one though.  |
