    Quoted from oPinsesame:

    Make 3500+ They will all sell and everyone who wants one can get it and no one will sell a spot for profit.

    Thing is the OP started this thread over a Stern Premium preorder. What a weird time.

    Swampfire, I'm with you on this. Even buying 3 extra pins just to flip comes off bad as well. Neither is good for the hobby.

    Edit: I also find it strange that middle age men with money to have large pinball collections are doing stuff like this. I'm guessing more for the thrill than anything else because I would expect a "hustle" to come from a young person trying to get into the hobby.
