There are many other collector markets that have been on the upswing as well, this certainly is not limited to pinball. The economy is booming. I have no idea where all these folks showed up with wads of cash, but they are out there for sure. Theme parks are full (and are more expensive than ever). Video game console market is up a bit. Collector cars aren't doing bad. And in my area, property has gone nuts as well. So yeah, if you are a smart buyer, now is not the time to be buying.
