Prices have been inflated across the board. Getting your first pinball now is an expensive supersize, however, if you are patient, the right game will come at the right price. The market slows down around now as no one has any $ due to Christmas. So you might be able to snag a good deal on Fleabay or Bumtree.
You can always buy Projects - but keep in mind that many projects are onsold because they are basket cases. Lots of examples of EMs missing chimes, score motors and other parts which are difficult or impossible to locate.
Ask lots of questions.
