My experience,

More affordable prices than when I started collecting.
So many requests for so many titles. Fast turnover,no need for showrooms.
I am amazed at the amount of first time buyers, the hobby is growing.
Heaps of pins still available overseas.
Older,rarer titles coming to our shores, pins that I havent seen or heard of before.
Classic/collectable titles fetching almost as much and sometimes more than later model dmds.

I agree. bring as many as we can to our shores.

not trying to start a fight or anything

yes middle to bottom are selling very fast and prices are  very mixed depending on work done , cond , ebay . showroom , factory , the person and how they want it
Like your gunners  what a fantastic price and very fair anyone getting that would be happy   a 6-  7k pin that needs some work for a little over 3k 
ok some inserts probs  but for 3k  your lucky I didnt buy it , its great we have members here who can do these up and take advantage of these deals
yes so many new people out there , i think they find it easier to come and see them than go to those old auctions people had a while ago , they seem to like the one on one and be able to see what else is around and see the back up service  and help here on AP  too.

the late model DMDs  are better prices than 12 months ago and the demand is so much higher than a few years ago , i still recall we sold a Medieval Madness for 5750  our first one and then sold the second one to a dealer in melbourne for 7k ( this was only 3 years ago) i am sure its still on his web site. Since then I am sure we have had another 10 or so and they have just gone up  but then now we can add new decals  and new playfields  too , so it all adds up

yes so many older rarer pins too , i love seeing the  i just got threads    so many happy people

I am sure the numbers will increase as more players come into the market , i see people bringing containers in that havent for years  as stock in Australia is getting harder to find. and with all the spare parts coming it will make it easier to bring life back into some of these pins .

again just my thoughts and no harm is meant to anyone
