space shuttle seller on crack?

Ok, so it sounds like this guy is trying to sell a couple pins out of rockford.  He's selling a roller coaster tycoon for $3500, a data east star trek for $2800, and a space shuttle for... $5750?!!!  He's implying they are all HUO by saying "This pinball machine has been in our family, it is gently used" in all 3 ads, but seriously.  Even if a space shuttle was NIB, would it really be worth that much?

Stern Galaxy - $1500? Surrrrrre

Well with a market value of $500, how can this person possibly ask triple the price for this thing? This pinflation is really going to people's heads

space invaders - $1900 (update)

What a shock, nobody wanted to pay $1900 on craigslist for his "restored" pin:

Now he has it up for sale on ebay for.. $2350 buy it now.  Of course! makes perfect sense, if you can't sell it for $1900, why not try to sell it on the over-inflated ebay for $450 more, surely it will sell right?

super mario pinball $2150

It's not the price I so much have a problem with (though it is high for this title which maxes out at about $1500), it's the fact that he says "want to sell it since it's becoming so popular again".  That translates in my eyes "I bought this cheap 13 years ago, and now that pinball prices are skyrocketing, I'm going to try to sell it for more than I paid for it"

williams hurricane - $3300???

 Another insane seller.  Says he somehow put $4k into it (not sure how that's possible, unless he hired a tech over and over, or spent thousands of dollars getting it shopped out). I don't care what you put into a pin, there's a point where a title like this has diminishing returns (I would sooner buy a routed whitewater than a perfect version of this).  I don't know where he thinks he saw it worth $3,300 online (not a single one for sale on ebay right now, the three for sale on mr pinball are selling for between $1200 and $1800.  I emailed him asking where he saw one for sale at that price, said he's seen them at that price fully restored (so you lied).  Also said he'd come down to $2k (wow, a thousand bucks off?  Your too kind).

Indian Jones, antique?

Antique, as defined by wikipedia, is anything at least 100 years old.  Since the first pinball (not including bagatelle) is 1932, that would mean nobody can make the claim of an antique pinball until at least the year 2032.  This ad is calling a 1993 williams indiana jones pinball an antique.. I just find this hilarious!

big guns pinball? Or old shitty backglass, you decide
