Quoted from NimblePin:If you work, or can continue to work from home to begin with, it’s technically just another day at the office.
Why change spending habits if the above holds true for the foreseeable future and pinball is already factored into the annual budget?
Sure.
Shopping at the grocery store right now kinda sucks but, hey!
There’s always the option of supporting your favorite Mom and Pop dining establishments if they offer carry out.
It might just be the SoCal area in particular Who-Dey but, our local pinball distributor seems to be going like gangbusters since the quarantine has been in effect.
It’s also no coincidence that three of my single friends (not O-Din...lol) keep begging me daily to stay at my house.
These people who play pinball regularly/socially (but, don’t own a machine,) are jonesing for a fix.
Now that their beloved Barcades/Arcades/etc are closed, these normally happy-level-headed-coin-droppers might just get desperate enough to finally pony up for a game of their own.
Maybe a CL beater? Maybe a NIB JPLE?
Folks do some crazy irrational stuff when times get like this.
Kinda like stress eating junk food, but much more satisfying!
Pinball will continue to thrive in the home environment.
Hear that Gary?
One of the three legs of your proverbial stool will be just fine!
There will for sure be people who are able to keep shopping, they will however not keep helping the price from dropping.
Why?
When prices are dropping, smart people able to Buy, will wait, because the prices will keep dropping.
It's not unrealistic to see a 50% or more drop if people are layed of or worried.
