Drop them prices!
I don't make a living selling machines, parts, etc. so for those who do I can see where you wouldn't agree with that statement, but lower priced machines means more pinball for everyone who is really in it for the love of the game and there for, more average joe's can have a machine or two (or 20). I understand our dollar is deflating at 3% annually and the day's of DMD machines on CL for $1000 is long gone but I wouldn't be upset if a MET Premium would drop to under $5k… lol.

Banks and collectors may consider pins an asset, but they are not. They are a big toy. Like a commodity/doodad. An asset puts money in your pocket whether you work or not. Unless you are a vendor, most likely your pins will not put $ in your pocket, just take money from it.

^^ I bought a copy of this book as you referred it 6+ months ago in another forum. Great read and so true. I see the tulips are in full bloom…
