Yes, pinball finally peaked. In the 1930s and again in the mid to late 70s and one last time in the early 90s.

Quoted from Gatecrasher:I thought pinball peaked in 1981.
Nah. Games were selling 50,000 units and up in the 30s. And there were a lot more of them.
Quoted from pcprogrammer:how the clearcoat chipping and pooling/bubbling is going to affect resale prices longterm.

There are plenty of places to play if you wanna play without buying one too btw.
Weird.
On almost every pinball flyer I have looked at they say something along the lines of "Great return on your investment" Or "Watch the money come rolling on in"
Are they lying to us? Should we try candy machines instead?

Quoted from pacmanretro:Can you do a gofundme for a game of pinball??
I think a lot of you have the wrong idea what hipster means. The term goes way back to the 1940s I believe.
Hipsters around her are younger people out and about and hang out in breweries. And like to drop money in pinball machines.
Quoted from fosaisu:Don’t look now, o-din, but if you’ve ever snuck a flask into a show, you may be an OG hipster.
Looks like I've always been one and still am. 
Quoted from pacmanretro:I wasn't ever called a hipster
Me neither. But I have heard "cut your hair, you damn hippy!"
