I’m done. Farewell pinside!

Yep
I woke up 4 days ago and put my collection for sale. All 40 games. 40 great titles. Years of fun and learning. I had them all, I restored one from scratch, I modded them A lot, I played them like crazy.

I almost cry when guys pick’em up

Why? I can’t stand remakes. Pinball never was an investment for me. It was a hunt. Finding these 90´s titles in perfect conditions. Searching for the « mint »ones.
Knowing I was able to get a BBB or CC from a guy who knows a guy...waiting months!!

Chicago gaming killed it for me. They Kill Legends. I feel stupid with games that cost me in the 5 digits when i can order one from the shelf

I’ll still buy NIB. But just like pinside, the hobby has lost his soul.

I’m happy for all new MB or CC customer.
Enjoy

Sounds like it is all about your high end games losing money.

Sounds like you are in it for the money. They've literally made 2 remakes, so why not collect the hundreds of titles that won't be remade? Sheesh!

Whoa! Wait a minute. You tell me after I played my game and enjoyed it for a while I'm supposed to sell it for more money that I bought it for? I knew I was doing something wrong. I have just been collecting the pins I like and letting my friends and family enjoy them while I drain my bank account. If only someone would have told me sooner.

Just play the dam games and have fun.

I don't get it. Even if they’re remade, you still own an original. Just because every museum in the world has a Mona Lisa does that mean the original is worthless??

Just because there are NIB games available doesn't mean there aren't still vintage games to be found. Sorry to hear you're exiting the hobby.

I still enjoy the thrill of the hunt and the victory of a good bargain.

It just seems odd to me to dump 40 games and blame it on NIB remakes. At most, I'm guessing we might see 3 or 4 more titles in the next 5 years. That's not exactly a flood.

Yeah, the value of a few of the titles that were remade took a bit of a hit, but they were over-inflated anyway. Most other games are quickly climbing in price. Have you even seen the price of a Funhouse these days? Good grief.

Or, did you figure you might get out of the hobby on the upswing of prices? That would make more sense to say than just blame NIB games.

Oh well. Maybe you'll find a renewed interest in the hobby again. Enjoy whatever you decide pursue next.

Best of luck with your future endeavors. It's unfortunate that we didn't get together for a beer and some games when I was in your neck of the woods several years ago. Get in touch if you find yourself in Ottawa and want to play some pinball. Cheers and take care.

He is in Canada, so maybe Diablo bought them and that's why he re-nagged on all those agreed deals he had going.

WHAT! Over? Nothing is over until Pinside decides it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! So no remakes should stop you now!

You have/had one of the nicest looking pin rooms I had seen in the game-room thread... I would have expected you were in the hobby for the right reasons. I understand that remakes can be frustrating when value on originals go down, but if it leads to leaving the hobby, I can't imagine you really loved pinball to begin with (or at least anymore). Just makes no sense (to say a couple of your games are getting remade=sell everything).

To say Chicago Gaming killed it for you though is.....very weak.

I will say a pretty good way to advertise all 40 for sale
