I think if you wait a year or two, when the global financials go crumbling down and priorities shift for people, you may be able to pick up some b/w machines for less than they are going for today. That is my strategy atleast.

I saw the post on your NBAFB, congratulations my man! I want that machine so bad. haha. I had the opportunity to pick up 2 different ones and passed on both due to the maintenance and parts missing. Everything is bubbling (dollar, debt, markets, etc) and when pop goes the weasel, we could see our hobby drop drastically and that will be the time to drop some of Ben Bernanke's notes on some sweet b/w pins~!
