At what price point would it be stupid to walk away from a Twilight Zone or Attack from Mars pin?

Edit: Assume decent condition, previously routed.
 
an afm at less than 6k is pretty good these days. tz at less than 3500 would be good too as long as its not a project.

Both games are better than anything stern has done imho, cant go wrong with either.
 
i would get them both if i were you... esp if they are 4k or under. AFM alone is going for 7-8k and up easy these days (dep on condition and all)

pin prices keep gettin crazier and crazier !! (esp in the last year or so)
 
Yep prices are getting crazy for good Williams or Bally games. TZ is just amazing, AFM is just ok but worth a lot. I do have a TZ and a RFM and I like both a lot. Any TZ under 3k is a steal if complete and not working.

This TZ was shopped a couple years ago and has been sitting unused ever since. I'm sure the rubbers will need to be changed. But complete and working. Haven't spent much time looking closely yet. He is asking $4200.
 
4200 is around market value for a TZ. If you can get it for close to 3500, you'd be getting a pretty sweet deal. Anything under $6K for an Attack From Mars is a good deal these days.

Both are absolutely outstanding games.
 
I'm a little "cheaper" in my opinion of TZ. I wouldn't look at more than $3500 in that described condition. Keep looking, there are a LOT of TZs out there. AFM is gonna be harder to find at a good price. IMO, it's much more fun to play than TZ. TZ does have the "cool" factor with all the toys but AFM is just flat out fun to play. I've had TZ twice and both times I said it would be a "keeper". (it's gone) I agree, if you can get a price on AFM in the 6k range and it's all there and working, it would be a good grab at today's pricing.

Prices on those games are higher than people think.

Average resale price on eBay in the last 12 months (actual machines that have sold):

TZ: $5540 (25 sold)
AFM: $7845 (10 sold)

How is it that AFM sells for that much more than TZ???? It makes no sense, unless there are a lot more TZs.
 
Sometimes buying feeds on itself and there's no logic.

Exactly. AFM goes for insane prices. MM is the same way. Some of it is rarity, some of it is theme, some of it is just that everyone is looking for them because they're "hot" titles and that causes prices to go up. I think TZ is a better game, but that's just my subjective opinion. Chances are if you find one for $3,500 it will have many issues.
