I am not sure, but i think its blowing up in Vancouver BC. Cragslist always has some pinball related activity, and good are usually over priced, and don't last longer then a day or two before getting snatched up. It seems to be more of a sellers market, which says to me that there is a high demand for pins.
there are many bars downtown that have machines on location, and good ones at that. There is a local owner/operator who takes good care of all his machines and most if not all of his games are 9-9.5 condition. I consider myself lucky to live close to a guy who is dedicated to sharing all his machines in the wild, he knows who he is, he is the man.

I dont know how many machines he has at home, but he must have close to 20 in the wild. Its like he only has Good games, mm. tom. tz x2. ss. ij. ww x2. totan. and shadow to name a few.

Its defiantly getting popular in Van. one bar has 9 macines does free play on tus. nights with $2 drinks, and its packed shoulder to shoulder some nights.
