I am always surprised when NIB Bally/williams machines come up
I cannot imagine storing something for 15 years, hoping it will increase in value

[Strangeways]

Never thought I'd see the day when a NGG is worth the same as a CV, MM or CC !

[Retropin]

Yeh got a feeling that that one might well be staying in the box at that price!

[FirePower]

Makes me think somebody knows how to print boxes and do a good prep job on a machine     Maybe I'm far too cynical, but I blame my mum, I was weaned too early.

[Replicas]

Well storing all those pins has certainly payed off.
Stop knocking NGG, it a great pin but not in the same price range as CC or MM.
I  suppose you take a gamble on which pins to buy new way back then and hoping its going to be one of the classics 15 years later.

I tend to agree with Firepowers assesment.  Sounds too good to be true.

I have an idea. Buy some decent titles, get someone to reco them with no expense spared, then whack them in a newly printed box and make some profits for Xmas.

If they are really New in Box, and are the real McCoy, I say the owner must have had a crystal ball or was just the most patient man on earth.

Anyone spending $20 grand on ONE machine ?

Has been known to happen...

one of these sold for just under that not too long back. Not sure one has been sold since though as asking price is always in the US$20K region now

Hard to believe one person would have so many games that were never opened, you would need a crystal ball when TOTAN or CV came out to forsee Williams closing down and actually making any money from keeping a NIB.  You'd just want to rip them open and play, even an op would open them, they don't make money in a box (or maybe they will  )
I'd be asking lots of questions if I had the money to splurge, which unfortunately I dont
