Sometimes I don't actually play pinball for almost one day in a row!

Quoted from TecumsehPlissken:overpaid for some of the games I wanted
Same here! got lucky with my safe cracker though! Probably my favorite one right now. Noticed you have one as well. I just noticed my token slot on my coin door is on the right instead of the left, I guess because it's a German reimport.
Sometimes I find myself thinking...boy, that refrigerator takes up a lot of space, and what good is it? It just keeps stuff cold.
Quoted from Breaking_Dad:I have nobody to play pinball with............Joey
Just do what I do and put a full-length mirror next to one of your other machines. It'll seem like somebody else is playing too.
Just kidding, I don't really do that...
I refuse to buy toppers, color DMDs and blades. I feel like if I go there, I would have let the sickness win.
I lie to my friends about how much money I have in them cause I don’t want them to think I’m an idiot.

Same here. If I buy for one game, then they all will want one. Same with Leds. Owned pins for 18 years and just put my first leds in 2 years ago. Now changing all to leds.
Quoted from TractorDoc:I enjoy fixing and working on games more than I enjoy playing them.
I play one or two evenings a week. Work on games 3 to 4 evenings a week.
I bought a property with a 4K sq ft work shop just so I could buy more games. 1/2 of them don't even work and the place is pretty full.
The max I would pay for any game was $500 for years. Then I bought a NIB Rob Zombie.......
I refuse to buy mods.
I get mad when I look at the “Post pictures of your Game Room” thread and see mofos with 15+ pins. I think to myself, “STOP HOARDING GAMES YOU RICH BASTARDS AND FIND ANOTHER HOBBY!”. But the truth is, I just want them to sell their games so I can hoard them.

This sounds like me! I actually really don't play much pinball at all and I pretty much suck when I play but I love bringing "junk" back from the dead!
I think daily that I should really quit the hobby and get rid of all my pins. And then my next thought is what my next 5 pins will be that I will buy. And then the next 5 after those and so on... Until I go full circle and think that I really need to quit this hobby and its money drain.

I just want to be their buddy so I can come over, hang out, and play said games. Unfortunately all we have to offer in return is 1 pin, a ping-pong table, a sauna, a hot tub, and a nice view deck. And unfortunately the sauna and hot tub are a level of friendship higher than casually hanging out with pinball buddies...

I take the games I like and want to keep apart and leave it in pieces for years so my wife can’t talk me into selling it.
I miss a few of the games I’ve sold over the years in that when they come up for sale I have to find ways to talk myself out of owning them again so that I don’t end up being “that guy”.
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:My OCD refuses to accept Credit Dots!
Drives me Crazy!
I gave up that fight.
I fixed everything on all my pins over the holiday break....now, when I turn my games on and don’t hear the “bong, bong, bong” service alerts, it feels like something is missing.
I think pins are meant to be played and I have no problem if kids whack away on my games while having fun and don't care if I accidently scratch a cabinet or break a plastic.
Purple GI is goofy as hell to me but you do do you! You like it? Slap it on your game - life is too short to care what other people are doing to their games (and I'll still play it when I come over) .
