Not one. I'd still be in this hobby if I only had my very first game still (oh, yeah, I still miss EK).

If I was a pinball enthusiast, I could get into this hobby right now. Could I get the latest greatest games? Nope. But I'm a pinball enthusiast, so I can just go buy an SS or an EM and play some damn pinball. Could I get a great game for less than 2k? Absolutely. Would I invite friends over to play it? Yup. Would I have pizza and beer? Of course I would. It would be a pinball party.

And I'll also say the opposite. If someone invited me to their house for pizza and play on some shitty EM would I go? Of course I would, and I'm quite sure we would have a blast.

Don't be so privileged. You don't need an 8000 dollar pro Stern to have fun as a pinball enthusiast. There has been a 1600 dollar Gorgar in the marketplace for days. If I didn't have too many damn games already I'd have gone and visited Colsond3 (nice guy btw) to grab that (12 hour round trip for fun).

Just my opinion. I don't like flippers either... but now at these prices almost everyone is a flipper. If you don't like the new prices... don't buy.

Pinball is easy! And the best part is, at these prices, building them is VERY profitable.

Actually, we are keeping the supply out of the flippers hands. So I'm doing you a service by having too many machines. You're welcome.

Are they masturbating as well? Asking for a friend.

False (in my opinion). DP is tough to get. There have been a lot of times Stern said they were making more, and they got pushed back.

My big question is, what will be the first stock Pro that sells for 10k. Not the crazy one off sales (blue birds), but regularly. Because of (forbidden topic) and (forbidden topic), we are heading for the moon!

While that would be hilarious, but it won't happen. They could just drop the price and they would disappear. Imagine being able to acquire a RUSH LE for only 1000 dollars over list price. Poof, gone, sold, next. List it for 12000 (a tidy profit) and it would be gone in a day. Nobody is getting stuck with anything.

People are freaked out about the possibility of ... crap, is this allowed to say here? Well the first word is World, and I will let you guess the second word. It's an unsure time, and will take at least another month to work itself out one way or the other. If I was rolling in money right now, I could figure out better things to grab right now than a Jeep Gladiator. Like making sure my ham sandwich supply chain was solid.

I've said it before, I'm absolutely thrilled with my absurd collection in this absurd hobby. That's the same thing I said when I had one game (Pinball... in my HOUSE!?!?!).
