Not sure whether it's the economy, game play or both but it certainly seems that there a lot of BBB's for sale right now.

Pricing seems to range between $9-9.9K, anyone seeing anything different?

I think one thing is the economy the other thing is that some may take the chance before x-mas for a good deal.

I think, the prices will drop slowly.

Well I haven't been watching pin sales lately, so I'll take your word about the spike.

I guess my theory will be a combination of some folks needing cash, and some speclators cashing out before the economy can get worse.

May the machines all find good homes.

It was EUR and not NIB but in perfect condition.

In Europe the BBB are rare and some people wants to see and pick up their game by themselves, so they accept higher prices. There are still a few guys who have money.

I would buy one in US and ship by myself to Europe. But i am a forwarding agent, so no problem for me.

Wow! That's $19K USD.

I'd sell my NIB one for that price...

I've been thinking about this, but other than for a damaged or worn game, why should the price go very far below $10,000 at any point? Think about it, there are about 200 of these total. I can't think of a good reason why we (the owners) should sell them for less outside of a financial crisis. I know the economy is bad but there are people who will pay that much for it if they really want it.

I am in a different catagory though. Mine is not for sale and if I ever HAD to sell it, I'm sure that I could never afford to replace it.

I'm not saying we should be greedy, but I don't see whay any of these should be sold cheaply.

My opinions, yours may vary.

It's all about timing.

Your statements above are perfectly correct. If a seller is willing/able to wait for the right buyer, they can still get top dollar. But some sellers need quick cash and need to dump their game NOW.

Just for reference, a HUO BBB was sold last month for $9K. I know because I missed it by a day!

And just this morning I got an offer of $12K for my NIB BBB, which I respectfully turned down.

Private collector offered me $10.5k last week for my perfect game with several pinbits mods. Game was not for sale, nor will it be but it should give others another price point.
