Quoted from rai:I knew a guy my mother in laws boss who owned a house which was $20M, he also had a $9M boat. In his house he had an actual bar like an English pub in which he had a real Harley Davidson motorcycle in the corner that was just a decoration he doesn’t ride it. And it was a nice bike like must have been $20K+ or whatever they cost. He could buy a platinum Beatles if he wanted to just like I would buy a topper for my pins, I mean it would be the same type of expense to him as a topper would be for me.
There are not enough wealthy people that are into pinball to support the hobby. Sure, you can point out a lot of examples of this rich person or that rich person. But how many of them will consistently buy new, overpriced machines? How many of them are pinball collectors? Probably not as many as you'd like to think. Middle class, older men support the bulk of the NIB purchases. If there are that many rich people wanting to pay 20k for a Diamond edition than why cap it at 100?
