Quoted from CosmoJoe:Hah yeah sorry I realized I never really finished my train of thought I was going to say, I think if we see another sharp recession, the interest you have seen in retro gaming would insulate the pinball industry to some degree. Of course, how well run and efficient some of these smaller boutique companies are really will determine if they weather an economy on a downturn.
If interest rates rise a significant amount, that could also affect the ability of more HOU purchases. I don't know how many people here have bought machines on credit but the rates are pretty generous right now. I have gotten so many 'no interest for 18 months' offers I have lost count.
If you have to use a credit card or take out a loan to buy something as stupid as a pinball machine you should have your head examined
