Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:This is not atypical, this is what literally almost everyone has been saying for over 15 years how. Levi can post a helpful catalog if you need it. Prices will never ever go down, ever.
EVER.
At best maybe the frenzy will die down and we will go back to “normal” high prices, and not these silly 10K 20K+ insta sales that seem sketchy at best.
Yeah this right here.
I like to use Stern pricing as a barometer myself. Even though they raised their prices across the board, I still look at Pros and Premiums as somewhat of a bargain based on what people are willing to pay through second hand market values. The fact that they are so far behind production leads me to think that they are no where done with price increases.
I think we're still in the middle of "pinflation" and I do not think that there is a bubble that will burst. At no point in time do I recall anyone ever saying "wow look at these prices that all went down! Pinball is (more) affordable again!"
Time to accept the new reality and move on with it.
