Why are there so many Kiss pins around atm? More than you can poke a stick at it seems.
Are the kiss army falling off the tree?
Simply because one or two overpriced machines have appeared on eBay, with the usual "spin" about being "rare" etc etc.. There is almost ALWAYS a KISS on eBay all year round. They NEVER sell for $10,000 -although I know of one that did years ago.
KISS Army are a crazy bunch (I know - I'm one of them), and most fans I know do have the cash to spend on a quality game, but not $10,000 for a machine that is not done properly.
Same happened when Evel Knievel died. This was a $1500-$1800 pinball. He died and the next machine sold for $3500.
Playboy will be the same - Once Hugh passes away, the machine will double in value.
Strangely enough, Rolling Stones (The classic Bally) is worth $3500 maximum. Half the value of KISS. I know a Dolly Parton fan that asked me for a Dolly Parton pinball recently - Her recent tour brought the fanbase out.
