    ..spending it on?

    What part of our economy is taking a hit because you're supporting the used/new pinball market?

    For me, I'm a saver... I'd just have more money in savings.

    How about you?

    If I had any and it wasn't going into pins. It would be a new rug, and recovering the pool tables.

    Once I can make improvements, then more money can go into pins.

    LTG : )

    saving up for a car.

    A bigger and newer truck to haul more pinballs in.

    I used to trade my car in a lot. I mean a whole lot. Dumb but guilty.

    Savings or Guitars

    Travel. Right now, we take trips to the basement!

    #10 11 years ago

    Just savings. Iv been trying to buy a house for 3 years now, but cant get a mortgage due to my kind of work. So I'm saving up to buy a 300k house in cash...

    Those wood floors my wife wants. Home is less than two years old, so the carpet is still good I keep saying. Need to get a few more good ones before I replace it all!

    #14 11 years ago

    I would be saving for a fun car to mod and make it fast.

    #15 11 years ago

    No such thing as extra money. That's like saying extra blood.

    #16 11 years ago

    If I stopped spending money on pins, I'd feed my kids.

    #17 11 years ago

    Wine, women, and song...and I'd throw the rest away.

    My other hobby is photography. Good cameras and lenses are expensive. I've bought 1 pin since 2007 or 2008. But, I built up a cache of projects while I could get them on the cheap, so I've got enough to work on, along with some work for friends and customers from time to time.

    #19 11 years ago

    Ohhh I may buy a new car, but my jeep chugs along so far. I am getting into buying other arcades such as just got a skee ball and punching bag game. not sure what else I'd buy. Prolly house projects

    #20 11 years ago

    An addition to my house, that way I could fit more pins.

    #21 11 years ago

    Precious metals or savings.

    Quoted from PNBLWZD:

    Precious metals

    That seems like a sane decision. Especially with all this fiscal cliff nonsense and tax raises.

    Same here. I've already got a nice set of Nikkor lenses, but when you are hot and heavy into the hobby, there's always another lens or even more likely a new body that makes you want to upgrade.

    I'm a bit of a hobby freak. There's been photography, home theater, scuba diving, telescopes, guns........and still one of my loves, watches.

    Probably more guns and watches.

    #26 11 years ago

    Go fast goodies for my old school Seadoo.

    #27 11 years ago

    That is why I am slowing for a while.

    #32 11 years ago

    Mountain and road bikes and sports or muscle cars.

    #33 11 years ago

    Honestly I'd probably not have anything. It's seems when I get motivated to buy something...I can always come up with the cash by buy and selling...do side jobs...etc. Very little..if any paycheck money goes toward the hobby

    #34 11 years ago

    Investing in the stock market and saving for pre order pins

    #35 11 years ago

    My other hobby......boating!!!!

    I have the worst list of hobbies ever in regards to how much they cost: Pinball, Music, German sports cars, Filmmaking and Golf. I need to get into bird watching or something...

    #37 11 years ago

    Guns, ammo, swords, home remodeling.

    #38 11 years ago

    I'd just pay my house down

    #39 11 years ago

    probably a nice watch and a Porsche project
