That's a great question. There is one on the net for sale, and the ad says it was built in 1994, and only 5,100 were produced. It's 100% playable state and in mint condition. The seller is asking $4000.00.
It's been for sale for a long time, as 6500 people have looked at the ads, so either it's overpriced, or that one corvette enthusiast , that just has to have it for his games room hasn't shown up yet.

Considering a brand new 2012 pinball machine can be had for a little over $5K I'd say that machine is way over priced. Of course as stated by LV2TOUR if you happen to find a Corvette aficionado who just has to have a Corvette themed pinball machine for his game room then you might be able to unload it for that price.

Kind of nice, I would hang on to it unless you need the money. In that case throw it out there for the $3300.00 and see what happens.

Good point! I don't need the money! I think it will increase in value. It was built Aug. 1994 and it plays great!!!

In another 10 years -- you never know

If you have that kinda time -- look and see how much pinball machines that are "20 years old and in great condition" go for. Something produced in similar numbers, etc etc.

If it only increases in value an average of 1000 dollars every 10 years, it's not really worth it to hang on to unless you just REALLY love corvette pinball.

I also collect pinballs and corvette is not very highly regarded by the pinball collecting community. Most pinheads think the gameplay isn't the best. It seems to have fallen in price a little over the last few years while certain pins have shot way up. Anyway I would say it is worth around 2500. There is one for sale in my area for 2700 and it isn't selling. I think as more new gens of corvettes come out, the more dated the pinball looks. I wouldn't be surprised to see a new corvette pin come out some day based on the c6, c7, etc., which wouldn't help the value of the current pin either. My advise would be to keep it and then get a few more pins so it won't get lonely.
