With only "one" pinball manufacturer ( Stern Pinball, Inc ) making very few new pinball's, and the big ones like Gottlieb, Bally and Williams out of business, pinball's are getting harder to find. In the past years we have seen a steady increase in prices with the average machine gaining around 2%-3% a year.

Pinballs are very fun to play because every time you play one it's never exactly the same, it is not like today's video console games once you learn all the tricks to beat the game the fun goes out the window. Some games are very popular only because of the limited number of that particular game made. However, there are many undervalued games that are great fun to play and are inexpensive.

Looking for something to invest in? Then pinball machines could be for you. Most pinball games never lose value. Pinball enthusiasts who originally bought their games for fun and entertainment have seen prices for their machines soar as much as tenfold over the past decade. Where else can you invest something you enjoy playing everyday and every year the value for the game increases?

Many pinball machine themes are of popular films, TV programs, sports and historical events and add even more to their value and popularity. Pinball machine values are expected to continue rising as the machines are no longer made and the limited number of playable pinball games dwindles over time.

Pinball machines provide you with fun, competition, bragging rights and fond memories of childhood, College and adulthood. For someone that wants a pinball machine, it’s an added bonus that it is also a very good investment.
