Ah, time for the classic "The Castle" quote -

Tell him he's dreaming!
“If you wanna escape, go up to a pinball machine. There’s a magic button on the front that takes you to a world under the glass and makes the the rest of the universe disappear.”

No - i dont think its a joke ( unfortunately)

I once went to look at about 10 arcade machines - all were sitting out on a deck in the weather, none were working. In the middle of all this was a WMS pinball machine - approx 1972 ( i couldnt see the name of the machine), I asked how much he wanted for the pin.

REPLY???

Mate, that aint for sale - thats my retirement fund.


Unfortunately, this attitude to a shagged pin is endemic. No doubt next time i go look at a pin in someones home they will tell me that theyve seen them on Ebay selling for $20,000, but theyll take $10,000 for the non working shagged Wms Firepower.


Things will get worse!

I've come across that a few times as well... people with machines that are stuffed, thinking they are worth a mint!

Thankfully, more often than not people still think the old machines are not worth much... this only helps when buying, not selling!

But you are right about the eBay thing Gavin... I suppose you could say that "the machine you saw for $20,000 never sold, as it is not worth anywhere near that much"... and tell them to go look for themselves.

Some people always believe what they see/read, so you don't have much chance if this is the case.
