    Quoted from Charlemagne1987:

    If you don't want to give them go ahead and ride your high horse off to some other thread.

    Oh man that was funny......

    Quoted from woody76:

    yep, I have several friends and some neighbors who want a game and the prices have scared them off. Location play should be doing well right now, because no one is going to pay these idiot prices, at least not your average person.

    Sometimes I wonder if this is the end goal. To shake off home buyers. In theory a route guy should be buying more games (assuming location pinball is doing well). Turn and burn where as a home buyer will buy and sell/trade within the home buyers market at a much slower pace. No one "buys the cow" anymore, we go to the store for milk.

    We have already well past that line were financially it makes no sense what so ever to own a machine. Personally if there were places around me to play, I would just buy a year pass and be done with it. No maintenance, fresh line up, way cheaper.

    Quoted from NPO:

    That should be THE hobby.

    I don’t think that should be the only qualifying factor. Owning, maintaining and above all...playing is the hobby. Doesn’t have to be hunting and fixing. I have been leaning more towards nib just because i need a break from fixing up games. Though to be honest I am always working on something. Right now i am working on a shuffle bowler and an arcade (arcade for someone else).
