    Hi guys, I'm a couple years into the hobby, so I'm not like some of you who have seen the heyday and the rock bottom of pinball. Pretty exciting (I think? You tell me) to see some primo titles prices coming down. Just saw an Avengers in the market for well under 4k. Saw a Transformers for a similar price last week. So, while I am educated in basic economics, how do you "old timers" see this going specifically with pinballs? Pretty sure you guys have been through this a few times. My curiosity isn't on the "fringe"- I know MM, TZ, BBB and the highest of the highs won't change a lot soon or will be the last to change, but it appears that things may become interesting in other regards. For instance, if a HUO Pro model and the "2nd tier" of higher dollar machines- Shadow, GNR, STTNG etc etc get identical in price (getting close in some examples), it seems that may change the buying/selling game a tad. Will everything shift down? Will everything shift up? Just food for thought.

    I'm just excited when anything I am involved with comes down in price, as I wouldn't mind early retirement one bit. I'm a half full guy (and it's a hobby for me, I always, always lose money on a pin because I choose to- not about that), so to me it's more fun available to more people. While financially I could buy NIB's, I will only spend so much on a pin- I didn't really think Id have a Pro anything anytime soon, but now the possibility could be there for me. Probably a lot of folks like that I would imagine. Whether its a lack of capitol, or an inability to rationalize 6 or 8 grand in my brain for a pinball, the titles will be accessible to more peeps at 3k than 6k. I like it.
