The guy paying a few extra thousand was not siting on a pinball forum day after day waiting to pounce on the NEW LE pin that seemed to sell out in a few hours (75% at msrp and 25% at a bit of a gouge). He was probably working. After seeing the stream and gameplay video he decides to buy at a premium due to the sell out. Do you think this guy cares? And im sure the price for it is not going to drop much if at all. Heck if this pin is good it may be worth 16 by Christmas. There is not a single collector today that overall "lost money" on pinball so lets get real guys. Even if you bought the Turd here and there and lost 1k on it we all know your still up big time. Part of the reason this hobby is doing so well.
