Why is it that arcade/pinball games are equal trades for dirtbikes?

A lot of CLers are "Storage Wars" type hobbyists. They offer to trade arcade games for other recreational equipment simply because that's what they know.

I have been offered all kinds of stuff... guns and coins for sure, but mostly peoples' aborted MAME projects. Today a cool guy asked if he could look over one of my conversion cabs and I figured well sure my store is open, come on in... he pulled out cash on the spot for only $20 less than my asking price. Like I'm going to say "no" to that. Win-win.
 
Funny, these days, most pins are worth more than a Dirt Bike....

I get asked that constantly "how much are these worth?" I point at the pins and I say image a row of motorcycles and 1 for each pin and your probably getting close. Crazy when you think i=of it that way but it puts it into perspective for people.
