Yep the hobby has really changed the past few years and not for the better. I think main issue is many newbies got in the hobby thinking they cld get a game or 2 and play it for a bit then sell for a nice profit and just keep repeating that cycle. However when some got bit by a couple of not so popular games and took a loss they weren't happy bc they really cldnt afford them to begin with.. Now with prices so high and with cost of everything way up hopefully many of those just find something else they can afford. Hopefully this fairly recent trend of almost all new pins going up in value ends bc it's really sucked a lot of the life out of the hobby imo as that seems to be what's most important to many people now instead of the game itself.
