Hell, I may be close to getting out the hobby completely.

For me, it's starting to feel a tad ridiculous to have these uber-expensive toys laying around, when the money I could get from selling them could be used for much more important and respectable things.

If things were like they used to be and pin values were reasonable, I likely wouldn't even entertain the idea of using my collection as fodder for life's financial necessities. But these days, when you look at what you got and add up the total worth, it really feels a little absurd to keep holding on to them.

(You wealthy cats can just ignore this post and avoid posting dismissive replies. Yes, we all know that pinball is pocket change compared to the collecting of yachts and airplanes. You're just in an entirely different world than some of us financially less fortunate.)
