This is traditionally the slowest period of the year. That said I just finished a major realignment of my collection and I'm not watching the markets as close as I used to.

I feel like pinball was getting hotter and hotter. Then the pandemic happened. When I was selling stuff last year I was hearing more from people shopping for their first machine than I ever had in the past.

I got the impression that a lot of people who regularly visited the local barcades were trying to scratch the itch. Combine that with recent slowdowns in manufacturing and it isn't hard to believe that prices have done what they have done. I was expecting a selloff at some point, but that never really happened. Can't complain. It benefited me as I downsized a little.
