If you're staying in the hobby it's all relative, you might be getting less than expected for the Pin you're selling, but you should also be able to get the Pin you're buying for less also.
That's the important thing to remember, I'm always very pleased to get my money back on a machine. However I don't give it a second thought of I lose a little bit on a game I've enjoyed. Not because I'm minted either . . . far from it.
That being said, I'm not really in a position to lose £1500 on a pinball machine so have to be careful what I buy. I absolutely love every game I own and if I never bought another pinball machine I'd be happy with what I've got.
You're bang on, I'm the same.
I run a football forum (have done for over 10 years) and we have the same complaint if someone posts about player transfer in a match thread.
It took me years to realise that some folk like everything compartmentalised and others like the flow of a conversation.
There's a fine line between steering people back on course and regulating so much that people stop contributing on the thread.
The macmaster does definitely click bait on his EV videos.
Anyway I and the girlfriend are of the opinion we've spent the money on the pin, we play it a lot and it stops us wasting so much money going out just because we have nothing else to do on a miserable day and it's a cool thing to have in the house. It was never an investment anymore than having a big TV would be.
We're both pretty crap too so a few hundred games in each and it's gripping us more if anything. Learning new skills (and more ways to lose control of the ball it seems
)
Plus if this pin falls in value then so does any potential replacement.
I definitely wouldn't buy a machine on a whim as would have to know I like both the theme and the gameplay given the current market.

You'll have some PM's in soon I reckon.
I have been in this lucky position before and these deals are the best orders!
No waiting 2yrs and full payment and delivery the same week.
This is the plan for my PF
And an option to get one cheaper, provided the seller wants only what he paid for it.I have been in this lucky position before and these deals are the best orders!

£9.3k I think, but now add an extra £500 on due to low current exchange rate.
Yea I won’t answer any pms as I don’t have it yet and when it actually arrives I mite change my mind
It’s probably worth leaving it NIB until you decide considering the amount of CCr’s coming in!
Next year will see them filtering down similar to GZ that seem to struggle to sell now due to the large numbers in the community.
Expecting NIB prices for your out of warranty pin with x number of plays in this current downturn in the market is gonna be a big ask.
However on the flip if CGC actually release new code as promised it may spark more interest as the original was rushed out with basic code in favour of there future proof next gen pins P2k
RIP Lyman, the man was a god of code in my eyes and would have made this no exception to his rulesets.
Yea will see when it comes Only 15 le are coming to the uk so I don’t think many will come up for sale very oftenIt’s probably worth leaving it NIB until you decide considering the amount of CCr’s coming in!

I bought a GOTG pro from someone on here for £5k. Not an unreasonable price for a 2-3 year old pro (£1500 off NIB price).
Newer Stern pros are going for £7k+ second hand now

7k is still £1500 off nib now though, ignoring the recent deals on a couple of titlesI bought a GOTG pro from someone on here for £5k. Not an unreasonable price for a 2-3 year old pro (£1500 off NIB price).
