it has been a while since my last post. but i have to bring this up' what in the hell is going on with the prices of pinball machines on ebay? they are way out of control in prices' some as much as 5 grand ' granted some i could see paying a hefty price for' but a lot of them are just not worth the price' i did a study where for 3 months i watched all the pinball machines up for bid about 70 or 80 pins' and only 6 had bids the rest nothing and they keep putting them up' this just seemed to happend in the last 6 to 7 months' i have always gotten fair deals on pinball machine ' but now just way out of my reach i love pinball machines restoring them' trading them and selling' but i would never put a machine on ebay or creigslist for the price these jagoffs are selling them for. anyway' keep pinball alive.peace zoomcat
 
i think those sellers list these games for such high prices because they are preying upon someone whose looking for that particular game....and played one as a kid......
if they list 35 games at those prices and only sell one they still make out big.......
 
I have been complaining about the prices on both ebay and craigslist ever since I started getting into the pinball scene. It is just as crazy if you go to any kind of retail outlet. I just recently went to a place in Kansas out at the legends mall and they were selling "restored" pinball machines for upwards of $4000 for star wars or lethal weapon 3 which they had in the store. I just looked at the guy like your insane and walked out.
 
It is impossible to get a good deal on a pinball on Ebay anymore, because of 2 guys. "So Cal Pinballs" and "Pintastic Pinball" ...two brothers from Corona, CA who literally bid on EVERY GAME all over the country. They'll bid it up to the point where they feel they can resell it and make at least $100.

If you look at any 90's-and-up pinball machine's "BIDS" section....if you see s**p or a**i, that is them.
 
YES..these 2 guys talk about know life they run around buying every pinball in socal and then put it on ebay..umm..get a freind or a life..lame
