Yeah it is.... I doubt the auction will go the full 5 days, but It should be interesting to see how high it goes (My guess is the guy is doing it as more folks look at EBAY than Mr. Pinball Classifields).
I had someone on RGP tell me about these $5,500 to $6,000 MM machines that are supposedly available. I told him 3 months ago that I was seriously interested and I had the cash, please let me know if/when he finds one. I have never heard from him again.
Believe me, I am an extremely CHEAP person. If I could have gotten one cheaper, I would have.
The fact is that most who have these anymore know exactly what they are worth. Simple supply and demand. As more and more folks gain interest into the Pinball Hobby, more and more folks with extra cash are going to want what is perceived by most to be the best game out there. If you do find one at $5,500 now, you are going to be putting a mint into getting the playfield restored or replacing a ton of parts, because those who have the clean ones know what they are worth.
Just my thoughts....
The chances of someone being within 100 miles of Deltona interested in selling their Medieval Madness for $5,500 to $6,000 that is willing to wait while Herman sells his pins to get up enough money is VERY VERY slim.
