problem is, everybody will be looking for good older games, creating a demande and price will go up there too.
greedy companies like stern and JJP will keep the price up (for no real reasons), the casual players won't be able to buy anymore.
people with more money than common senses will keep buying like it's the next best thing.

Quoted from 27dnast:

... just imagine, for a moment, if Stern said "We are going to give away a Super LE to 30 past customers. This is our celebration of 30 years and we want to say Thank You to our fantastic customers for keeping the pinball dream alive and well. All you need to do is prove that you've bought a game NIB in the last 30 years and you'll be entered to win."
Bam. Instant love for Stern.

this is exactly how it should have been, and not charging for a ridiculous 30th anniversary shit party that guest paid for.

Quoted from Cybergoonie:

...
The only way this madness will stop is if all of us collectively quit drinking Stern's Koolaide & stop opening our wallets. But of course that won't happen, there will be outliers that screw it up for the rest of us.
...

yep, unfortunately.

Quoted from 27dnast:

..
Part of me wonders if these ridiculous prices are just setting the stage for slightly reduced but severely elevated prices.
"Look...we know $9K was too much, so we are going to sell for $8499"
"Oh wow. Really? Great deal!"

probably what's going to happen.

i see people saying ''9k is too high, now if it's around 8.5k i'd be in'' really? $500 is all it takes to make you happy?
pro should be around 5k-
premium around 6.5k
LE around 7-8k
