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.
