    Prices have been jumping for a few years now on A list games. The trend looks like it will continue. "A" titles, even though some people don't want to admit it, are investments. I'm not saying it's better than a Roth IRA, but it's more like a CD you can literally play with. At the very least when your sick of your game you can cash out (usually)at least what you put into it and get something else. It's a great hobby in that regard. When I say "A" titles I'm referring to the top B/W pins of the 90's, but I know there are some Stern pins also on that list.

    Like I said they aren't blocks of gold, but when your done with them (if taken care of) you should be able to get your money back out of them. I personally didn't buy any of my pins to try and sell them for a profit in the future, but it wouldn't surprise me if I could.

    Quoted from Dewey68:

    I've only been "collecting" pinball machine for 3 months

    BTW Dewey, Welcome to the hobby.

    Quoted from kmoore88:

    As far as the overall economy is concerned, the financial "crisis" of 2008 has not been resolved, just deferred.
