Pretty much that solves it for me ever buying a NIB pin. I'll just buy older pins. I just picked up my 1st one a few weeks back for $1300.
$10,500/$1500 = 7 more pinballs for me. Keep the NIB pins I'll take the older ones no problem. My old pins will likely only go up in value and the NIB ones will depreciate as soon as they are bought. Just like an old Winchester they only get better with time.
