Re: Elvira ATPM - what are they worth

Did a search and this one came up in Brisbane, but ad says sold. $1400 from a dealer.

I have dealt with this guy before. the $1400 must be a typo. He would have charged $1400 just for the flipper buttons, excluding the machine. Usually, he wants full retail plus plus plus. Cant see him ever selling the Elvira for only $1400. Something not right there.

The prices on some of these titles is creeping up because everyone wants them, and its difficult to find a spare one, cause people are just hanging on to hard to get machines. If they get sold/listed. a friend of the collector will usually get first options on it, so u just dont see that many for sale really. Its a funny market the pinball market. The normal rules of economy and capitalism usually prevail, but sometimes those rules are thrown out the window. It makes the treasure hunt just that more satisfying sometimes.  ^^^
