What an asshat.

Can I downvote this thread and ad 100 times? People like this guy are bad for pinball.

If it’s a game that should be $2500 to $4k, or unless it’s a NIB JJP game...then yes.

I think we all know what supply & demand is. And a free economy, entrepreneurship and blah blah blah.

Doesn't mean it's not ruining the hobby for plenty of others, or people that really want something, such as a topper for the regular price (or at least a decent price).

Instead, asshats buy 3 or 4 from distros, then sit on them and eventually jack prices to stupidity. Meanwhile, Jack and his two kids that love their Ghostbusters pin and wanted a topper don't have one, so some dbag can make a buck later. And now Jack can't afford one, or can't spend 1/2 or 1/3 of what his pin cost to have a damn topper on it.

One day, when this hobby dwindles down to nothing:

1. People who were in it to make a buck will have killed it, when they could have cared less about the hobby itself and actual pinball in the first place; and

2. People who paid $1500 or $2k for a topper...will hopefully be stuck with a topper that is worth jack shit.

I remember when pinball was an actual community and people enjoyed giving each other good deals, instead of a bunch of shysters just trying to make money.

It’s not that simple. I said much more than that. See post above. It explains my position clearly.
