Arcade and Amusement Companies are great for buying and selling games. However, these companies will typically offer you less because of the overhead and staff they have to pay to run their operations. And, these companies typically put a lot of time and energy into the game to maximize profit, which, can also reduce the amount you receive.

However, if you are a new pinball or arcade hobbyists, we recommend buying from an arcade or amusement company because most offer warranties and stand behind their work.

However, if you are selling an unwanted pinball machine, It never hurts to get an offer from them but 90% of the time, we will pay you more money.

eBay sellers and retailers offer a great service for many first-time pinball buyers and they provide serviced machines that are reliable - but, that comes at a cost. Unfortunately, this cost doesn't equal the value of your machine - similar to when you trade in a used car.

eBay prices are not evidence of value for a few reasons:

1. eBay machines are generally sold by vendors and amusement companies who spend time and money refurbishing the machines prior to sale. The last thing an eBay seller wants is to sell a game to someone 1,000 miles away only to have it break and have to pay for a warranty service call. Resellers and vendors want their machines to be in great shape when it gets to the customer so they spend time getting the machine right - and that cost is added to the cost of the machine.

2. Many eBay sellers include "free" shipping and warranty support. This is NOT true!

3. Retailers and eBay sellers are out to make a profit. Generally, retailers mark up the games to include profit. Hypothetically, a retailer or eBay seller could buy a game for $2,000 and invest roughly $500 - $2,000 in repairs, upgrades, free shipping, and warranty support. Then, the seller will add 20-50% mark-up for profit, resulting in your $2,000 machine being listed for $6,000.

4. Many machines listed on eBay do NOT sell for the asking price. So, it's best to check official machine listings for accurate information.

eBay offers a large audience and the potential for a large profit. However, don't be fooled - many prices you see on ebay are inflated and the games rarely sell for the list price.

Also, the buyer could be in another state. So, do you want to be responsible for packing up the game and coordinating with a shipper?

Lastly, eBay and Paypal fees can range anywhere from $50 to over $300+ per transaction.
