Quoted from flashinstinct:

10k by Christmas used to be funny now it's just sad $9000 dollars even for an operator how can the cost be justified? Start charging $2 per play? No one will line up. I was excited for JJP #3 but 7000 LE's for 9000 ($13730 CDN) and CE's for 12,500 ($19078 CDN) that is just crazy talk. And then Stern follows suit with their BM66. They've just killed 85% of the collectors market in one sweep. $7k CDN was my ceiling. Guess no more NIB games for me. Oh well.

Quoted from Geocab:

This doesn't just affect owning the game. Location prices will rise also. A local operator mentioned a 3 games for $5 possibly becoming the norm. I hope not. Location games were how I was able to play the newer pins.

$2/1 credit or $5/3 credits is the standard for most pinball machines out in the wild here in Australia...
