I think if anything, newer/ NIb games might drop a little after the chip shortage, not from the manufacturers, but from the NIB flippers. Short run games, "Spooky" for instance will not drop as much since there will still be a "shortage" due to low production numbers, chips or not.
I think EM's won't drop so much. I don't think people bought EM's because they couldn't get new games. I think prices are rising due to more interest in pinball. I also think minimum wage hikes and other factors, are driving inflation on EVERYTHING. That's never going away. It's not just a lack of supply but a combination of that and growing demand across the board.
Quoted from hoby1:I hope no one feels these over exaggerated prices will hold.... once the chip shortage ends the prices will stabilize back to normal just like cars.
And for all you folks that dont ...... I have a whole stable of HUO games just waiting for you wonderful buyers.
