Quoted from Animal:

Pinball prices have been driving real pinball enthusiasts out of the hobby and these flippers for profit are a BIG part of the problem. IDK, am I alone thinking this???

Jesus.. how many people need to post the same bitch and moan pricing threads.

"real pinball enthusiasts" ? thats some funny shit.

Thats a pretty snobby attitude like you somehow deserve your luxury item/toy more than anyone else..

Any pinball machine is expensive by any sane persons standards and no one is forcing anyone to buy anything,

grow up. Its a fucking toy and the evil "rich people" ruining everything for you are actually the target market.

Quoted from Friengineer:

Oh man, that had me laughing hard.
Here's a thought: stop buying games all together. No new games, no used games, just enjoy what you have already you GREEDY fucks. Then prices will go down.

yah this... ^^^^

I did. I can "afford" to buy them I just don't think they are worth it.

Same reason I don't own a 100K car
