Quoted from MotorCityMatt:Agree and when the "newbees" get tired of the b.s. - another fire sale. You have to know when to hold them. Know when to fold them...
I'll be buying big time ...

This is the same debate that rages on in every hobby once there is greater-than-typical interest. I still remember my dad buying a 1981 Corvette (can't remember the exact specs) for a great price, thinking he could eventually flip it at around the same number.
and it turned out the original seller had added some aftermarket panel or something, and reduced the value of the car significantly. I bet he lost 5k on that. And this was before eBay!
Quoted from o-din:Actually, pinball machines were designed as investments according to some of the flyers released advertising them.
Statements like "great returns on your investment".
Doesn't this make an assumption that the one making the investment is an Op?
Quoted from o-din:Yes it does.
And every time I see someone say "pinball machines should never be thought of as an investment", which is quite often, it shows me they do not know what they are talking about, and if they can't get even the slightest return on that investment, it is their own fault for not putting the game out there to do what it was meant to do in the first place.
That's a totally fair point, but I would argue that new games are not really intended to be placed on location. At least not exclusively. So yer not making your money back HUO
