Quoted from TRAMD:I am one of the rich new guys that loves NIB pins and that seems to get a lot of hate on Pinside. Oh well *shrugs*. I like NIB pins because they typically work perfectly without the need for tweaking. I can get excited about code updates and cool mods rather than just spending hours of my valuable time making sure they just work correctly. I have more money than time. The Big Lebowski is the first and last boutique pin I'll buy. It is JJP and Stern only for me currently if looking for NIB. I do buy older games but prefer them in pristine and fully restored condition. I agree with you. I don't like band pins and not much else really thrills me currently.
So umm congrats for being rich I guess...
