What does the community feel is the average age of a pinball collector?

Are we talking 10 years until this massive sale? 20? 35?

Per that poll, with nearly 70 something percent in their 30s and 40s, my guess is there won't be that big selloff. People get into the collecting hobby with disposable income. There will always be a new group entering with some extra cash and a few at the other end of the spectrum clearing out.

Even if there was no new interest, with the current collectors in their 30s and 40s that inevitable selloff would be at least 20-30 years down the road and would still be spaced out over 2 decades. It seems so unrealistic, yet I'm sure there are countless other "collectibles" that have seen similar spikes and recessions.

Idk, I just don't see any dip in popularity nor any "mass extinction" from an aging population anytime soon. I got into pinball because my grandparents had one in their basement. 20 years later I bought the same pin they had. I'm betting my 3 year old will take my machines or get his own one day. It's just something that seems to appeal to any generation
