It sucks, but it's nothing new. Before the NIB-NEWB days, we'd all be scouring Craigslist all day long...and when a cheap pin popped up, you had to get there first, because sometimes the flippers were LITERALLY driving at full speed past you to get there first and poach your deal, only to put it back up on CL the next day for 3x the price after wiping it down with windex.

It is what it is. If you really want a LE, figure out a way to "get there first". Good news is, they can order a Premium. Unlimited production & it's the same exact game.

Quoted from the9gman:

it will all change when super hyperinflation hits and causes a massive recession then you might be able to trade a machine for food

Right - cuz recessions always make rich people with pinball machines immediately broke & liquidate their collections.

Unless…was your post was sarcasm?
