    Just wanted to see what you guys think. I give an operator $1,200 to buy a NIB pinball machine every so often to put it in my area. When I first asked him "Yo, when do you guys buy the new stuff?" They said "We don't. $5,000 at fifty cents with a profit split would take forever to pay off"

    Now I make it a little bit more easy to pay it off.

    I do think that if NIB pro prices were low enough, I think a huge boom could be happening right now.

    I have changed my town putting games in this area from the operator I hang out with. He even gave me the keys to the games so I can fix them if something goes wrong. It saves him a 5 hour drive. He does a really good job shopping the game out, so I don't have to do much.

    5k for NIB sounds a bit high, but 3.8k sounds better. 3k sounds great. 2.5k, buying all day!
    I never really thought of myself as a pinball subsidizer. Are there other like me?

    "So you give him 1200 per title and you play for free but you help maintain the machines and get no profits??
    Do you want the guest bedroom it is available."

    I pay to play, no profits, no cost for labor and $1,200 for NIB.

    If you get me a job lined up, I might think about it.
