Doc's Advice

(swipe for next page)

One of the first things people want to know when they consider buying a pinball machine is "Is this a good price?" And pinball owners always want to know "What's my pinball worth?"

The bottom line is that pinballs are expensive and getting pricier. It's trite to say, but your pinball machine is worth as much as someone else will pay for it. BUT it's nice to know the market. It's nice to have a starting point - an idea of worth and value.

Ebay only data website price guides are nice but the market has many other sites selling pinball machines including dozens of online auction sites. Printed guides are expensive and out of date by the time they are published. My price guide is free and based on both online auction sites and "brick-and-mortar" verified sales with links to the actual past sale with pictures!

Recency is key! 85% of our database is based on 2018-19 sales. Knowing what pinballs used to sell for is nice but that is not why you are here. You want to know the value of the pinball NOW.

Where do we get our data? We only include pinball sales that are judged to be verified. 48% of our database is from ebay. ebay is a good source for verified sales because lots of data are captured at the time of purchase including price, seller name, and seller location. "Best Offer Accepted" sales are NOT included, as there is no way to confirm actual sales price. For 2019 sales, about 50% of our data comes from Pinside.com!

LiveAuctioneers is also a great source as they have years and years of archived data available to members. Any auction "buyer's premium" percentages included in the final purchase price we show. Craigslist sales are NOT included as there is no way to verify actual prices paid. And finally, keep in mind ALL the data you see is hand gathered, no website scrubbing is used.

Sellers: Keep in mind, ebay and Paypal will cost you about 10-15% of the selling price.

TIL - Today I Learned

25 Jan '19 Being quite a newbie to the hobby, this website has helped me learn a lot about pinball and the pinhead community. Playing in a few local tourneys has helped me learn more also. One thing that I wanted to understand more is "game play" strategy and rules of each game. Things like "how do you trigger multi-ball?" or "what targets do I need to hit for a bonus?".

A quick Google search leads you to un-narrated videos for the most part - not particu;arly helpful. Well today I found what I need at PAPA - Professional & Amateur Pinball Association. It's a great source of game by game player guides. Click here.
