Quoted from Evilelement:Idk this hobby is great if you have good friends. My issue isnt the people who talk money behind my back , but mainly the collectors who scream they got this pin for so much , then a year later try and flip for thousands more.
Or have an issue with a pin , tell someone else then try to sell it you as mint.
Out of the 40+ reletionships ive made 99% are like that.
MONEY is toxic in any hobby!!!
So true since I joined this hobby 2 years ago, this is majority of so called pinheads I've met.
Quoted from KloggMonkey:It boils down to this, we are all spoiled. The pinball world is full of open, friendly, and understanding people.
Most 'civilians' are self-centered, cell phone diddlers, without empathy and are unable to see the world from any viewpoint other than their own. I like to call them a-holes. Poor bastards, for most of them going out to eat is the only entertainment they know.
My pinball friends are quickly becoming my only friends.
There are plenty of a-holes in this hobby too. All about perspective.
