Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:This may shatter your world and rock you to the core:
They said the same thing in the 90s and Early 2000s when nobody cared about WPCs and all the “modern games”. Wedgehead EMs were considered the high-end collector market. Those guys were teens in the 70s and were in their 40s-50s in the 2000s.
Now those hardcore EM guys are retired hitting their 70s
And guess what?
Holy shit, young guys are still buying all those darn worthless EM junkers and I can’t buy a Jacks Open for $50 from all those old guys liquidating their collections or dying.
Curses!!! Any day now I’m sure they will be worthless.
None of what you typed “shocks or rocks my core”. What you say/think is opinion ,and not fact. fact, mid 30yr olds are the last of a generation that played in arcades. There is no sentimental attachment under that age group. Also, people under age 30 don’t have the money for modern games and this may shock/rock you, but most people don’t like or want an old EM or old 80’s games. Check out most of the posts with interested in trades and they usually state, “don’t want your f14, or night rider, or collection of EM’s for my newer pinball machine seeking 6k and up machines.”
Next time your friends come over , who just adore your collection , see how many are looking to buy their own machines for their houses and follow through with a purchase. Does me being right make you angry? Calm down a bit.
