Yeah bills prices are insane lately. Can't sell IJ for 8 + months at 6.2k with pirated decals...so what to do? Bumps it up to 6.8k !!

Boogles the mind. Gets them for next to nothing from Greece anyway.

All dealers prices have gone up lately. The only thing is, it's a buyers market and most people arnt silly enough to pay the premium with the levels of cheaper choices out there.

Farkfella,mad price. So he will put the price up when it doesn't sell to make it more desirable!

If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.

It would be laughable if he wasn't serious.

How can you seriously ask that sort of money for something like that?  Is there more to it, am I missing something?

The asking prices of machines on Gumtree are way over the top as well.  I expect people to ask a bit more and then have room to move, I do it myself but bugger me.

wouldn't it be nice if people, shops etc just put the real, fair price. Why do we need to bargain? I do it but that's because no prices are real  so I contribute to the problem
Still loving my Metallica Premium

The days of angling for buyers that have not done their homework are almost over. There's a lot more competition out there, and although Farfalla is a very attractive and great playing game, it is not that rare, and can be located at a reasonable price.

I sold a non worker ( failed CPU board) for $300.. bought it for $250.
Working it sold for $850 or thereabouts on Ebay.
Tony Pinball Shed has tried to push the costs of a Zac up to $1400+ which is really top end price for one, but id expect BG animation ( Magic Castle Devil riders etc) for that.
Farfalla is a stunning game to look at... but my goodness at that price!!!
