this will be close to 40k when you add up GST, shipping etc etc , and what do you get ? nothing ! plus 500 are getting
made, crazy world we live in at the moment... this hobby used to be fun collecting pinballs but now it's become ridicules
i think it's past that long time ago, stern and jjp made sure of that, a LE used to cost 1500 more then the pro
take tron LE for a instance . at the time only 10 in the country thaty cost 7500 new ,the game becomes popular and the price starts to go up and up , now it's at 25k , now a new LE is 15k and i just got told llp put the price on pins up 1000 US more so now a jjp LE is 11k USD from 9k USD for gunners
it's a whole new world now days, 10 years ago when i joined this forum i said pinballs will cost over 10k and ppl laughed
look at us today, i know of a buyer offered 400k + for a 15 pin collection and the seller knocked it back
money means very little to some ppl and they want what they want
a bloke i know called ted has one for sale i told him your looking for one
might not be in your mates price range as he's asking a bit more for it , mine would be way out of his budget
good luck with it all
you are living in the past my friend , 2018 was a long time ago and a different world from today
a house was 600k same house today 1,5mil
hsv gts was worth 60k 2nd hand , today 150k for the same car
a new LE pinball was 12k today 14.5k
stop looking at what was and look at what is - it's not getting any better, it's all fu@ked up
