Is a Xenon project pinball worth $300?
ChadTower:
Let us know if you do get that Xenon... I'm in for that playfield but don't have a game to put it in yet.

Ummmm, why would you buy a $500 repro playfield for a game you don't even own, especially when you already have countless projects sitting around? Just curious.
ChadTower:
History with repros like these shows that if you want one in the future you have to buy when it comes out. They go NLA within a short timeframe and the secondary market price goes up at least 50% and often over 100%. I do want a Xenon, have for quite a while, but have only found one good candidate locally and it sold to someone else. Worst case scenario, I buy the playfield, never find a Xenon, and sell it for at least what I paid. Plus this time I probably won't have to ship - I can pick it up. I'll be up in their area at least once this year.
shardian:
Ahh, I see. Might as well go ahead and sell at the rate you get your games running! :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
(I only laugh because I'm in the same boat)
ChadTower:
You're right, too. I work on too many things in parallel. That's why I finally decided that on some of this stuff I'm just shipping the electronics off to a pro and doing the short stuff myself, like on Tank II and Asteroids Deluxe.
