Not sure what to say. That's a big list. Nothing there for less than $2000 except for perhaps Pinbot. Many of those are $3000 - 4000 games with some much higher. Seems like a range from $1500 to $8000 more or less. Hard to comment specifically.

Suggest looking at those pins on Pinside to get a rough idea of their value.

Here's a quick price list (from Mr Pinball 2017 guide) that should give you a basic understanding of pricing of your list, more than likely the prices will be higher in real life.

I sorted it from the least expensive pinball to the most expensive:

Code:
(1993)  Last_Action_Hero              $2,000
(1986)  Pinbot                        $2,125
(1995)  Johnny_Mnemonic               $2,125
(1988)  Taxi_(Lola)                   $2,175
(1988)  Taxi_(Marilyn)                $2,300
(1990)  Diner                         $2,425
(1995)  Stargate                      $2,450
(1991)  Machine:_The_Bride_Of_Pinbot  $2,525
(1997)  NBA_Fastbreak                 $2,550
(1991)  T2                            $2,575
(1994)  World_Cup_Soccer              $2,725
(1995)  Batman_Forever                $2,750
(1994)  Demolition_Man                $2,825
(2003)  T3                            $2,850
(1992)  Fish_Tales                    $2,850
(1994)  Roadshow                      $3,050
(1981)  Centaur                       $3,100
(1993)  Tales_From_The_Crypt          $3,100
(1996)  Congo                         $3,275
(2003)  Simpsons_Pinball_Party        $4,400
(1992)  White_Water                   $4,600
(1995)  Theater_Of_Magic              $6,775
(1997)  Cirqus_Voltaire               $6,950

And a nice working original dedicated 720 runs around $1500~$2500, sometimes higher, depends on buyer/seller/etc...

I think we need to know the games you're most interested in before we can help figure out how to even up the deal. In general, it's hard to trade vids for pins, so last action hero straight up or adding a bit of cash is a great deal. For the others you gotta decide how much you want to spend. Condition is king on pins, especially the playfield. So take those values with a grain of salt until you can go see the games.

Thank you so much
 
Stop thinking about Trade and think dollar value. What is your 720 worth? Let's Say $2k-$3k.

Then start looking at pin prices. Pins have a wider range based on condition. But you can get an idea of what they go for.

Now if people are asking for the trade, you can leverage that to get more bang for your buck, but if your thinking you can get multiple pins for a 720, then the answer is unlikely. Possible if your getting play field worn or non working pins. So make sure you know what your getting in return.
 
Highly doubt 720 is worth what a good dmd pin is. But that is what trades are about. Find someone that has a hard on, you might get lucky. Value wise prob a sys 11 pin maybe.
