Quoted from SadSack:It's the last hurrah of boomers cashing out home equity. There will be a glut of pinball machines when their families start putting them away in nursing homes. It's almost like people forget the cyclical nature of economics. I'm glad they are cranking them out. I think I'm young enough to capitalize on the crash.
OR, we’ll retire, put our games on location (or open new locations), and get another new 100 people hooked on pinball.
The nursing home reference is offensive and wrong. My parents are both in their 80’s, and are both living very independent lives. It would be more accurate to say that some of us will downsize our collections when we retire.
Getting back on topic, I do miss the days of ordering a new pin for $500 under MSRP. Good times those were.
