Last weekend I was chatting with jim about some of his pins for sale, and I was flabbergasted to see how low the prices are on some recent pins today. As I saw Jim's WPT and TSPP, I thought to myself that maybe I should nicely clean up a couple of my pins and possibly sell them or trade them to end up with one of the pins I keep thinking about... Revenge from Mars, Demo Man and RBION.
Can someone tell me what these go for in the 2008 price guide, and what the tendency of the market is? I LOVE my older SS Bally pins, but I wouldn't hate having one recent one, RFM being first in line (I find it REALLY easy but just fun...).

YES DO IT ! I think Jim wanted 1500$ for his DemoMan and its about what they sell for usually too.
For the other prices, i'll lookup for you once i'm home.

Yeah...I would have traded for the Demo Man, but it was already sold. I couldn't really afford anything else, so I went old school. I have done fairly well bringing back old pins from the dead, so it is not unchartered territory for me. But I do miss the days when I had my TFTC, which I played every night.
Who knows... if I get a trade offer for 2, 3, 4 or even 5 of my pins for 1 nice one (which I doubt...), I might bite. But the reality of it is that I doubt it would happen... I have been somewhat unlucky in purchases and it only has been going well lately due to the help of members. I reinvested most of my pin-investment on my house purchase, so current collection value is meek. Probably 4000 max once they are all fixed (they mostly just need time... not much in parts.
