    Quoted from superNoid:

    Man $3300 for a home pin, and a JP home pin is such a good bargin. At that price, its a good starter pin for sure!

    I mean, seriously! Not everyone wants to start with a full blown modern pin or wants to maintain a 30 year old B/W. $3300 for a fun, solid NEW pin should be pretty attractive to many.

    Quoted from Deez:

    This is horrible thinking. The resale on these home pins is near zero. You're way better off spending more and buying a pro and you'll be able to sell it easily. This is like throwing 3k down the drain?

    I'm glad I didn't know this when I bought it. And I'm certainly glad the guy that bought it from me for $4k didn't know this either. We just blissfully bought and sold pins WE liked for prices WE thought were reasonable. Which is the way the world should f'n work. But as others have said, send us the ads for those near zero pins, we'll gobble them up!

    Quoted from tgarrett09:

    I feel like $2.5k is the sweet spot for these games. I think it’s a good deal at that price for what you get.

    Well, I think a $3300 NIB Home Pin will be a $2500 used Home Pin.

    Quoted from PismoArcade:

    It's strange because Rush is part of the new discounting but I haven't seen any for sale.

    I haven't seen a vendor list this in any of their sale communications. The only thing I've heard was people in these forums saying it was next or something like that. Have you seen any official communication that includes Rush in the sale?

    Quoted from gandamack:

    Are there nib Rush machines sitting in Distros warehouses? I had a new Rush Prem awhile back, but sold it due to the never-ending node board / ramp motor saga. Actually, would be interested in a Rush Pro if prices significantly fall off. Would probably also consider a Bond, should that price be on the chopping block as well.

    Automated has both in stock for a bit more than MSRP. Ironically I bought mine last year when they dropped it below MSRP. It went from Not to Hot just like that. Pros are going used for near $6k, which is a fabulous deal.

    ANOTHER discounted NIB Stern. $300 is a sweet treat! Thanks for the heads up.

    Quoted from usandthem:

    Are these discounts still in place? If so, who is offering them? What are the games/prices? If anyone has any recent and/or updated information, that would be awesome. Thanks.

    Pinball Pro is showing limited availability. They were excellent to deal with on my LZ Premium.

    Discounted Venom Premium...[quoted image]

    Unfortunately the $500 shipping brings it back up to a typical price.
