    Hi all,
    It's hard to believe that I haven't posted since 2008! After so many health issues, and other crap, I slowly getting back to my games. I've been looking at Mr. Pinball Classifieds, eBay, and all the old sources for machines and can't believe the prices! Granted I've been on the sidelines for a while, but WOW! Are people really paying these prices? $6k for a Rocky & Bull Winkle! I remember when nobody would pay $600 for that at auction. 4k for a so so wedgehead? Is this for real?
    Kind of makes me want to sell my machines and buy a condo in Hawaii or something.
    Good to be back... kind of.

    Well some people are stupid others not so much a fully shopped working R&B will bring in $2.8K $3.5K on todays market a wedge for $4k only if its a holy grail pin in diamond condition.. Most em machines are in the $600-$1.5K price..remember pinheads control and set the market and the value of used machines not the newbies or idiot buyers
