    I rarely talk prices with non-pinheads. I talk to them about the great community, friends I have made, things I have learned, and how much fun they can be.
    When they persist on wanting to know price I quickly realize it has nothing to do with the pinballs and more to do with their desire to be nosy or wanting to size up themselves. I kindly tell them that some can be expensive and some can be cheap, but largely they hold their value over time so this has been a pretty cheap hobby to enjoy.

    I also dont like to get into details as a few of those asshole types can easily become Choggards.

    Quoted from rotordave:

    1/ don’t ever talk about what machines cost.
    2/ if asked, say “you can get a machine for a couple of grand”. That’s more than enough information. If you told them you just paid $21,000 for a Big Lebowski, more than likely they’ll have you committed.
    3/ don’t even tell anyone you’re into pinball. Unless they walk into your games room and see 100 of them. Then they probably know.
    Some golden rules to live by.

    4/ if they are hot then you tell them it is a pants off game room.

    Then they stop worrying how much they cost real quickly...
