Quoted from LTG:

Usually in bad economies coin op does good, cheaper entertainment.
Didn't help last time.
No idea on next time.
LTG : )

Coin op has never had to battle an app market this healthy and advanced.

Pinball is a big dollar industry that’s driven by home collectors. If the markets have a crazy crash, no way folks will be dropping $6-$10k on a wooden box with lights.

Some might.

But the average modern NIB buyer won’t.

Quoted from Multiballmaniac1:

I agree this could get really ugly. Right when I am doing the best I ever had in my field of work too. I’ll sell my wife before my pinball machines.

Wow. I'm guessing that's a joke, but if not, that's a shame. Pins would be the first thing to go in my house.
