Yea, there are a lot of people (myself included) that are just going to be skipping out on NIB sterns for the foreseeable future and just buying used. Why pay the premium or risk playfield defects or them cost cutting by using smaller cabinet hinges or something else. Why pay the sales tax that comes with NIB purchases? I think the NIB market is in trouble.

I think Stern needs to beef up the Stern rewards program. Offer the $1,000 discount to the 3,000 IFPA people and not just the top 1,000.

I’m always glad to see new distributors pop up and make a splash. Did he buy out another distributor or just get his own distributorship?

Good question and I’ve always heard mixed reports on that. Best I can tell from friends who received the discount and used it is it’s about $500 better than street prices at the end of the day.
