First time…if you don’t count the Halloween CE…but we’re splitting hairs.

Really, everyone had/has fair shot at getting this game. I say let people build income streams off their hobbies and what they love to do. It’s ok for people to seize an opportunity. The market will determine if it’s viable as a small or large gig.

But I’ll also say there’s a way to do it while still being respectful to people and knowing that God, not you, is the center of the universe (and yes I’m talking about Scottys/turbos responses In other ads and forums).

Man, I rarely post, but this thread is very interesting.

Here’s the thing turbo2nr : character in this world matters. You may be very talented in your pinball restorations, and making $500 on a slot is really no big deal at all and people shouldn’t concern themselves as much as they do; but at the end of the day you’re letting everybody here get the best of you and your lowly responses are certainly an attempt to make up for some hole somewhere in your life. And I’m sorry you have that hole in your life brother…whatever it is.

By comparison, look at High_End_Pins ; even when he has something “constructive” to say about someone else’s work he does it with integrity and character, and is not trying to build himself up by taking down others.

Just let your restoration work speak for itself, and be confident that it’s ok to make $500 if the demand is there.
