  1. What is a Pinball Machine Worth? A cornerstone of every successful arcade, the classic pinball machine is a definite must-have if you are trying to build your own entertainment room at home. This game room staple traces its history to as early as the 1700s, as it is closely attributed to the French game known as bagatelle. Pinball as we know and love it, has a rich and colorful history that spans many decades, with next gen machines featuring all kinds of added effects to make the game even more exciting. ​Pinball game rentals are also widely available—proof that the game continues to attract players, old and new alike. Like any collectible, a pinball games’s worth is determined by many different factors. Whether you are trying to buy a game or perhaps wishing to put ​pinball machine up for sale in Houston​, knowing the value of each game table and how these values are derived is important. Here are the most critical factors that buyers look at when appraising a pinball machine’s value:

  2. (1) the rarity of the game’s title, (2) the demand for such a title, and (3) the overall condition of the machine. Of these 3, the game’s condition serves as the main factor that influences a machine’s price and worth. When it comes to determining a fair value for a pinball machine, it is important to determine the manufacturer retail price for the particular kind of machine you are eyeing or are trying to sell. This will help you put a defined bracket on your pricing. Only when you know the fair market price of the machine can you begin factoring in the rarity of the game’s title, any add-ons that have been installed, and the overall condition of the machine. When buying a machine, make sure that what you are buying is something sustainable. Check if there are available parts and accessories that you can source should a component fail in your game. Too many people make the mistake of buying classic pinball machines only to find out that certain parts and components have been discontinued, rendering their machine unusable once damaged. This is an important factor to consider because pinball machines, while hardy, are not impervious to damage. Don’t forget to look for warranties and service guarantees when buying from a seller and choose companies that are reputable to ensure the quality of the machine you will receive.
