    Quoted from CLEllison:

    Almost every NIB pin purchase ends in a financial loss. Like a car, as soon as you drive it off the lot it depreciates a couple grand. No one can possibly know if a pin "example Tron" will become the new GOAT or not. Either be OK knowing full and well you're losing money or just buy an older pin and your loss will be minimal if any.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    If you want to buy brand new expensive games, expect to lose

    Up until a few years ago, NIB games were selling for *more* than retail price on the secondary market. Then more manufacturers entered the picture, manufacturers started making more games, releasing titles more frequently, and raised prices, so that was the end of that.

    Quoted from DS_Nadine:

    If AP would close doors I think Houdini could skyrocket also.

    I don't think Houdini will skyrocket at all. Too many people keep listing it for sale. I keep seeing them for $5k, $4800, $4600, and a couple for $4500. The price on that one keeps sinking. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes down to $4k in the next couple months or so.
