In this hobby nothing brings my piss to a boil more than this complete sh*thouse practise. I freaking HATE seeing LE's for sale 2nd hand still in the box, or even before you've received the damned thing.

Basically destroy the chance of a real pinball + theme fan getting an LE just so you can then take advantage of that "enthusiasm" and make a bit of cash.

Yeah yeah, who cares let people spend their money how they want, let people charge for what they want etc... But if you think this sort of crap isn't also driving up prices across the board and now even pricing some folks out of the market (which is happening here is Aus) you are being naive. It doesn't belong in this hobby, no matter what anyone tries to tell me about supply and demand. I wish there was some way to ban this sh*t, but what can you do?
