Sample vs. Production pin.

(1/3) > >>

Just curious what the general thoughts are about getting a sample vs. production pin. 

I've been looking for a Cirqus Voltaire for a little while, and a sample machine recently became available that is local to me.

I'm not sure if these are normally more/less desireable, or hold their value more/less vs. actual production models, or if there are other (mechanical/maintainability) considerations I should be aware of.

Anyone have any thoughts or advice?

Thanks!

This won't directly answer your question, but I swear I've seen more sample Cirqus Voltaires than any other game.  Either way, it's always expensive.

Yeah, I've noticed the same thing - there seem to be a lot of CV samples out there, which is why I'm wondering if it's an issue.  And they're definitely a little pricey :(

The irony being that when Williams went under distributors were closing out CVs for less than $2k a pop NIB.   :banghead:

CV is one of the few collector piece pins I really like.

Same here.  It's a good play AND pretty nice to look at.  And it doesn't have movie licensed graphics and sounds all over the darn thing.
