The market is getting soft. Right now were hitting the wall of people who are sitting 1 of 2 ways. They bought heavy when prices were high, and now are looking for something new and cant find a value unless they trade (likely with someone who is equally in debt into their game). Or they bought a ton of projects thinking they could learn to fix them, Can't, and then tries to move their broken project.

Not too many turn key pins that aren't Stern/JJP out there. I am grateful to have what I have.

As money tightens up, so will the mentality that games like Shadow, Totan, or other games of the sort will continually come back down to reality. They were just the flavors of the month during covid.

I have a genuine interest in how the market will react to the manufacturer price increases (and near future), general economic decrease as of late, and the ideal of flipping LE's

Those antics, or potentially lack there of, IMO would dictate how soft the market really is.
