The extra alleged $500 for the Whoa Nellie pinball won't do much to stop serious buyers. It will just be an extra $500 someone throws on top of the AMD finance arranged package or the credit card etc.
Some people will just write a cheque and say big deal since they will probably want to keep the machine forever.
Either way people who buy it brand new can't lose, it will just be rare and will hold its resale value high.
People are complaining about brand new in box prices when really, the price of every 2nd hand pinball from SS to DMD 1990,s stuff has doubled in price to absurd levels. If I sold my pinball collection now, I would double my money from what I paid for everything. The 2nd hand market for 90,s stuff is turned insane but people are paying it.
It makes the $7850 Brand New in Box Stern Pro prices very reasonable indeed.
