Quoted from konghusker:$9500 for a stern premium!?!?! . GTFO
HUO market will come back down eventually once more and more games are in the market.
I'm so far past the phrase "I'm out on NIB". What phrase comes after that? I don't even look or even care what comes out anymore. These price increase are so far beyond inflation increases it's not even funny.
Quoted from mzhulk:Alot of people say there out on buying new sterns than how come I can't get a new LE. They are already sold out for the next unannounced game.
LEs always sell out. There are a lot of collectors that don't care where pricing is at. It's just a bummer that premiums are at such unaffordable pricing now, people that cant afford LEs typically buy premiums or pros.
Quoted from konghusker:The LE can sell out all it wants. Don’t care about an LE and it’s limited value. LEs are for guys that want to feel special. To jack the premiums and pros up this much is a giant FU to the people that keep this hobby going. There are far more “regular” people working hard to maybe get a new game now and then vs rich guys that buy every game that comes out. Think about your group of local pinball friends and how many are regular joes that aren’t rich enough to just buy a game without having to sell something.
Premium and pros are for the majority of hobbyists and operators to buy. Both stern and jjp have basically said FU to the majority of its lifeblood customers. Charge what you want for your stern LE and jjp CE, but don’t gouge your main customers because of a tight overpriced secondary market caused from a pandemic shutdown killing the supply chain, and forcing the huo prices up due to lack of nib supply.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head.
Quoted from underlord:Oh for crying out loud. I had to google TLTR. Your post is TSTR.
Good to see I'm not the only one that still struggles with all these online acronyms.
