Quoted from Pinballer22:Not a show discount really is it? I would think a discount would be buying a new machine during the show and getting it for a better price.
These are used pros that will have more plays on them than I get in year or more on any of my machines!
For reference, my Metallica that was used the first year in TPF had about 600 plays on it.
It's now been in the TPF tournament area two times and I don't give two poops that it's had all those plays. These types of deals usually go 'behind the curtain' to local collectors without any public mention...stop being a bunch of ungrateful turds. The shows and the collector community benefit greatly from these kinds of arrangements, let's keep supporting them, not crapping on them!
