Agreed the last two I bought from a dry barn/shed were in fact damp and needed de-rusting, mildew removal and a thorough drying out, resulting in paint loss and planking. The Mary Rose looked better when it remained under water.

Well these were extracted from my garden shed buy (was a ST:TNG):
Contrary to popular belief they are not Maltesers!

Yes, full recovery and long gone!
Although I do still have the rusty wireforms in a box as I rarely chuck anything...! 
It cleaned up very nicely...

At £300 now, I think it's unlikely to reach the low price that may be worth the risk for me. I had Expo at £400 which was a lot of fun, and currently working on Mini-Zag I got for £250, and both are EMs that should be repaired if all parts present. Solid state machines have much higher value parts and repair costs could easily spiral. The risks are greater. Too great for me on this one.What if it sold for a sensible price.

you can’t compare em prices with ss prices

Understood, but
The repair bill for SS will be much higher surely?

I was going to go see it as only about 10 miles from me, have politely cancelled the visit
yes it will.
i was meaning the initial cost of a project will also be much higher on an ss compared to an em.
Me too
BOP £3.6k plus others and now this, start selling on eBay£804 am I seeing things
That Embryon just sold too.
How’s that, you get more on eBay and buy cheaper elsewhere.

Who said the market was slowing down... Yeah right 
Deffo slowing down a bit on this forum, seen quite a few fair priced games sit for a bit recently. Ebay is a different kettle of fish and totally different audience thoughWho said the market was slowing down... Yeah right
Slowing down, probably due the cost of pins are expensive, and the cost of living is going through the roof..
Games won’t come down in price.. people will just stop buying because they are non essential toys end of the day.

As a n00b I've bought 3 pins off the forum in 6 months, however I am at capacity now with 4 in the dining room.
A few of those fair priced games you mention, would have been snapped up immediately by myself if the garage conversion was looking to be completed anytime soon.
£3675 for monopoly?
Stern MONOPOLY Pinball Machine. A stunning example of this full featured game. | eBay
After dropping the "Policeman" drop target the player must make a tight shot to enter the "Roll and Collect" area and move around the Monopoly board in the centre of the playfield. The main strategy is to collect as much property as possible.

The condition of this has helped the selling price- a Monopoly sold or was offered on the forum for £3k last year with a South Park for the same price. A few balked at the prices then but they disappeared so I’m assuming they both sold. I personally think everything has gone up by £1k in the last two years
