It took me years to find my Superman.  Even in no working condition, people just seem to hold onto them.  Every now and again you see one come up on eBay.  They typically go for silly money and then another couple appear shortly after when people think they can get big bucks for them and unfortunately they normally do.

I wonder if Homepin would ever consider a repro of the Atari (in particular Superman) board set.  I reckon every owner of a Superman machine would buy one.

There is one currently listed on EBay, price made my eyes bleed! Looks to be in reasonable shape shape though and they are hard to come by in working order. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-Atari-SUPERMAN-Pinball-Machine-/290875965748?pt=AU_CoinOp&hash=item43b98f0134&_uhb=1

Wow! That's Dennis Lillee money right there! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DENNIS-LILLEES-HOWZAT-PINBALL-MACHINE-/130859913885?pt=AU_CoinOp&hash=item1e77dbd29d&_uhb=1#ht_830wt_922

Seriously though both seem expensive to me but I have no idea what these machines are worth. What have recent ones sold for? Dennis Lillee to for that matter. I guess both machines would appeal to more than just pinheads.

I guess they are worth what someone is willing to pay for them, doubt they will sell for those prices though

I had a look at this machine when he had it out the back and not working. I'd gone in to check out a similarly overpriced game for a client of mine. Looked OK condition, lit up but wasn't working. Silly price, but I suppose you never know - it's at a second-hand dealer shop, might get bought by an uninformed person.

Superman and Howzat are both worth around the $2500 mark in good condition.

That's about what I would have expected.

Superman isn't a $6k machine.  I have seen one or two sell on eBay around the $4k which again I think is overpriced.  Classic example of supply and demand though....there just isn't the supply out there.

Now off ebay, no longer available.
Surely it didn't sell for 6k?
