If you are asking top dollar the least you could do is take some decent pics...

Does not look like a $7000 machine from what I can see.

Not even close !

Have a look at the wear between the bumpers !

Needs some better pictures to justify anything NEAR that amount. Having said that, it is on eBay - so anything could happen.

IMO - a KISS that was new in the box is not worth that kind of money

They have found a particularly good specimen and they really really want it.

The point I'm trying to make is for $7,000 if one puts their mind to it they could build an entire collection for that. For that kind of money I could purchase 10 games that would all play better than KISS.

Don't get me wrong - KISS is a very collectable pin but for 7K  #@#

What would you prefer?

I agree - well, the sort of games I am after I could maybe get three or four for that money. That's why I am happy to dabble outside the top 10 or 20 or even 50 - value for money.

From memory they were US$1200 in 1979 NIB. Could be wrong, but that's what Dad told me years ago.

Wait until I've restored my KISS pin - I've already spent over $2000 on it and I have no even removed a screw from it yet  :D

I am with you Tony - apart from its looks KISS does not have much going for it.  I saw the one Rollerball bought and was not even tempted to hit the BIN at $1500, although if it was in WA it would have been a different matter!
