Why do some machines like KISS cost so much money?
In part because they are difficult to find in excellent condition, games that were popular got a lot of use and therefore a lot of wear. We have seen some older games like KISS priced in the $3000-4000 range which in our opinion is kind of ridiculous given that the electronics are almost 30 years old and somewhat unreliable. The most you should pay for an older electronic game is $1000-1500 but if you really want some of these games be prepared to pay the market price. Sometimes newer games like Addams Family for example are quite expensive compared to other games of the same age which can be purchased for up to 50% less in similar condition. Despite this our most popular pinballs are Addams Family and Twilight Zone, which are both priced well above games of similar age. When we get an Addams Family in, it is rarely available for more than a few days before it is sold.
