u have to remember that as the years pass, some titles are just not changing hands like they used to.
when u talk to the guys who bring in containers, they quickly give u a list of the machines that they CANT get anymore, or with any ease. Accordingly, soime titles rise in price by 10 or 20 percent because of it. You also have to take into consideration that someone has to make a dollar/profit on the exercise, otherwise they wont bring that title in.
machines like Elvira n party monsters, bugs bunny, bk2000, black rose etc etc are priced between 1800 and 2500 but arent that easy to come accross in really good condition. most system 11 games are old n tired/flogged out, so when u find a really nice one, the price jumps a bit. 1800 to 2500 is more than fair for these titles, and alot of them are alot of fun.
BK2000 and Black Rose are easy to find overseas if you know where to look. Elvira is a little more difficult. Bugs Bunny is not a title that importers target. "Titles raising by 20%" is more of a issue with Greed on behalf of the importer. Don't believe everything you hear from an importer - remember a well known dealer "combed Europe for the last remaining pinball machines" ? How many HUNDREDS of machines - maybe thousands of machines have been imported since ?
I like Bugs Bunny for the theme and unique artwork. But it is not in the same league as BK2000, EATBM, Radical, Police Force, Diner and Transporter (now this is RARE). The biggest problem with Bugs Bunny is demand for them is low.
Games that are getting harder to source and SUPPLIERS have increased the prices on are titles like Cirqus Voltaire, Attack from Mars and Champion Pub.
