Price history
Sales & reported results
“Verified” means checked against an auction or marketplace result—not an independent inspection or proof of payment. Publisher and community reports are unverified. Records are grouped by game title and can include different cabinet editions; check each description.
How to read these prices
Sale dates are separate from capture dates. Unknown dates, currency, condition, and fees stay unknown. A date range means the exact auction day was not recorded. Historical amounts are shown as reported, without inflation or exchange-rate adjustments. Buyer premiums, tax, and shipping can materially change the final cost.
Community reports come from Mr. Pinball’s archive of discussion-group reports, whose publisher did not verify their accuracy. Publisher reports are attributed to Pinball News. Known duplicate rows, unsold entries, buybacks, parts, and malformed reports are excluded; undetected errors or duplicates may remain. No average mixes these evidence categories.

Catalog sources, photos, and years
The arcade list is based on Arcade Manager’s MAME-derived game data ↗, with five early cabinet or edition entries documented by the Museum of the Game ↗ (MIT license; license notice ↗). Its listed year is a game year, often without an exact day. We include video arcade entries through 1998 and do not treat ROM revisions as separate sale results. The pinball list comes from the Open Pinball Database ↗ published export, limited to its physical machines with powered flippers. Pinball years are manufacture years. These are substantial source catalogs, not a claim that every machine ever made has been documented.
Machine photographs are real, hand-selected Wikimedia Commons files or photos from our owner stories. Each photographed game shows its photographer, source, usage terms, and any web resizing note. A catalog game without a vetted matching photo is marked “Photo needed”; the photo is illustrative of the game, not a photograph of a listed sale lot. We welcome rights-cleared owner photographs via the contact page. Logos and images linked from game databases are not assumed to be available for reuse.
Maker is a browsing label, not a full creative-credit history.
