Clearly the Pinball industry is spiraling out of control.New Pinball machines are priced out of reach for most people with families and expenses or maxed out credit cards.Hot titles are being flipped for outrageous prices. And used pinball machines are also going for all time high prices.What will the ceiling be when trading pins may be the only answer ?

Agree but when people are passionate about something,like sports, or cars, or pinballs, then sometimes logic replaces practicality.The distraction is therapy from everyday stress.

Wow, somebody got out of the wrong side of the bed today.....

You didn't ?

This is absolutely the concept that is floating around .Stern is a business,plain and simple.They have way high overhead.Look what JJP is dealing with on a smaller model, and the difficulties they are experiencing.Profit keeps the doors open and the product flowing. Prices will get worse before they will ever get better.But why would they go down if we buy up every LE made and lots of Premiums ?
