Yes, these prices prevent new blood from entering the hobby, especially when you weigh the use of this toy against other toys of similar cost.

Quoted from Rarehero:The truth is, it's never been an affordable hobby. Even when NIB games were $4000 and used games were $1000-$5000 - those aren't impulse purchase prices for most people. One always needed space & disposable income for this hobby.
It's harder today than it used to be, but if you're patient & resourceful - you can still end up with a "cheap" pinball machine. Hunting them down and fixing them yourself used to be part of the hobby...you don't have to buy NIB Limited/Collectors Editions to be part of it.
Depends on your market a bit too
Quoted from Coindork:I should sell all my machines and retire in Patagonia like the Dread Pirate Roberts.
I'll go next, I love wearing masks
Quoted from wisefwumyogwave:Step one- Turn internet off
Step two- Turn pinball machine on
Let me revise:
Step one - Use the drain thread or block user feature
Step two - Turn internet off
Step three - Turn pinball machine on
Step four - come back later, minus the thread you should be draining in the first place
