Now now boys.....
Im with studley here... general price for pins is down.. you see EM games on Ebay getting listed several times over and the price drops... $700 to $650.. to $600 etc... still they aint selling.
Dont get me wrong.. this is how it should be.. wasnt that long ago we were all shocked at project EMs going for $1000 on Ebay... bloody stupid stuff.
Zaccaria machines have always been a $1000 machine.. never anymore. For a while they were a little pot of gold.. good bright machines that you could pick up relatively cheap... now you see Pinball shed asking for $1400 on Ebay for a zac game.. or some random Euro no name piece of crap.
No they aint worth the money, but its in a dealers interest to keep trying to push the $$$ values up.
Time Warps from private collections at $2400 or something stupid... its a $1200 machine at best.. always has been.
In general prices ARE down.. people are more savvy with the $$ these days.. i know i am. Acopuple of years ago i spent $10K on machines... this year i picked one up at $300... and that was haggled down from $600!
Bottom line.. is the machine worth that much of MY money?... Generally speaking..... NO.. but ill be willing to give you X for it or piss off
