    Quoted from EricHadley:

    We are embarking on a kitchen refresh. Shopping for a Refrigerator, Dish Washer, Double Stack Wall Oven, Cook Top and Hood. Looking at KitchenAid Black Stainless Steel, The Fridge is $3097, The Dish Washer is $1260, The Double Stack is $2799, The Cooktop is $3199, The Hood is $1299. That all ads up to $11,654. Thats 5 major appliances......or 1.5 "Premium" pinball machines???? By The Way, these are made in the USA too....hmmmmmmmm

    Why don't you ever respond after making a topic? Seem like your semi trolling?

    Quoted from ASOA:

    Just read the full post. Seems like you are going to have one nice kitchen. Congrats! Now on to pinball. This is a very bad idea comparing what else you could buy for the money we spend on pinball machines. Warning this is the first step to figuring out there is something wrong with us. I implore you to stop right now. News flash! This is not a cheap hobby. Cheaper then collecting exotic cars but way more dangerous. I feel there are very bad people out there (Pinball manufactures) that have done alot of research. All to figure out exactly how to drain our bank accounts in increments of 5600 7200 9000. As soon as we catch them at their game they do something really smart. They increase their prices by 200.00 and then it takes us 6 months just to catch on. And then the whole process repeats itself. These sneaky bastards are too smart for us. Perhaps they might do something really stupid and try to charge 15,000 on something no way we will fall for that. .......
    Son of a B****!

    Idk how sneaky they really are. They just raise prices and fully admit their games have ghosting and chipping issues and it's normal. Sounds like people are just willing to put up with it and continue to buy.

    Quoted from Homepin:

    Have you personally had experience with these so called premium brands or is it just your perception of them?

    Lots of those high end cars seem to have reliability issues. They are crazy money to fix. Need an oil change? No drain plugs on them so you need to pump the oil out? What a rip off. "My windshield wipers stopped working" ok ma'am that will be 500 dollars.

    My buddy just bought an Audi for $28,000 with 28,000 miles on it. Originally it's a $60,000 dollar car. Now it's already half price?
