...that's like asking   ... " How much does a car cost ? "

Mint Ferrari : $300,000
Rusty Lada :  $ 50

The range for pins is not quite as wide, ...but you get the idea.

Here is a VERY rough guideline  
[this is for average cosmestic ; nothing prestine ]
(...and I'm sure, I'll get 300 replies to this... )

Decent Solid State pin (1978-1985) : Working $500-700, Not working $300-600
Decent Dot Matrix pin (1990-1995) : Working $1000-1600 , Not working $600-1000

Of  course, even this guide is WAY subjective.
There are way too many factors to consider.

The bottom line is expect to pay at least $500 for a working pin,
but more lilkely $1000-$1500 for something you'll actually want...

My 2 cents...

Cheers,
Steph

Steph is right, I was going to reply exactly the same about cars price range...

Without additional details (game name, especially cosmetical conditions, is it
fully working with no hacks or not, is it delivered with warrantee, or is it as-is
from a private person... location of the game, etc.

Price range from basket-case EMs usually is from $50 to over $10000
for a rare prototype...

Like cars, stamps, trains or cards collecting, some are worth a small fortune,
while others are not worth much. Condition and the model usually dictate the value.

SVP donnes-nous plus de détails pour que l'on puisse mieux te guider,
si tu le veux.

Bonne chance,

Enfin quand je dit working c'est que elle est en bonne etat et pas de hack ni de bootlegs.. (pas les side tout maganer..)
Aussi quelle est une garantie ou non sa derange pas..

Je ne connais pas trop les pin's plustot les video hehe alors je posterais plus de details demain..

Before jumping in I would suggest buying a price guide. It's not perfect but at least you won't get taken for a ride.

Tu devras etre pas mal plus precis pour savoir combien ca va te couter une pinball...

Une Electromecanique 'normale' qui marche assez bien: + ou - $400
Quansd je dis 'normale', ca veut dire une qui n'est pas 'collectible' ou tres recherchee...

Pour une electronique (SS), ca commence aux alentours de $500 fonctionnelle a plusieurs milliers...tout depend de la machine!

Comme Steph disait...une Porsche maganee vaut quand meme plus qu'une Lada triple-MINT...

Donne des titres, c'est plus facile comme ca!

better ask us what pinball you have in mind ... it's easier that way  $$$

Well what i had these day in mids where the popeye pinball,black knight (seem a nice one..) and maby an white water..

My best guess based on recent past sales in the area (I don't care for the price guide)

Popeye - 1400$-1600$
WhiteWater - 1600-1800$
Black Knight - 1400-2000$

My opinion only
