Yeah, not like the warranty is worth an extra 1.5k

but 'buy at your own risk' is worth noting. As many people have been having problems with the LED boards right? I haven't really been keeping up with WOZ news.

I think in the end this is a more complex issue than at first look. The way I read it: JJP wants to support their game and the collector market, and pinchroma says they will continue to support a game if it is sold to another owner.

However, NIB sales are not covered by that same warranty. The distinction here is that this discourages flippers and hoarding. Who here LIKES flippers and hoarders? Not many, and I think Jack not supporting this behavior is another way of actually supporting the pinball collecting community. At least I hope that is his intention.

That being said $7500 for a NIB game that now sells for more than that is a good deal. I hope that the purpose of the comment was to discourage the secondary market and not malicious towards the greater community.

But then... anything JJP or Stern says seem to generate backlash and controversy, and both companies have their issues with PR and the way they speak to their customers. JJP maybe says too much and Stern maybe says too little.

And here we are.
