    Quoted from Hazoff:

    Here's a question for ya.
    I've finally reached my breaking point with prices up here. 9500 for a Stern pro and I think around 13, 500 for an LE, now unless its a dream theme of mine which is extremely unlikely I just can't see spending that much for a pin. I never thought that would happen but is has. What if in the States it reaches this climax and people stop buying them. I mean would any of you American collectors pay that much? Do the prices drop, or does the whole thing collapse?

    The new game market is a different discussion than the aftermarket. Let’s say new games stop selling & all the pinball companies fold - are you going to sell your games for nothing? If anything, if a “bubble” pops on NIB, that will just cause existing pin prices to go higher, as that will be the only supply.

    Quoted from Hazoff:

    Also I disagree that existing prices would go higher if and when the bubble bursts. If people aren't gonna buy NIB at ridiculous prices then why would they buy aftermarket?

    Classic games that already have a reputation will always be desired by those who love pinball...and their "limited" quantity is a known factor. NIB is a crapshoot...we don't know if the games will be good or not, but since they tend to hold their value or skyrocket, people feel it's worth the gamble.
