Quoted from Tranquilize:Society is pretty much shutting down and a crazy amount of the population is not working. Our prime minister just said most of the country will be on unemployment insurance right away. The pinball market and most other non-essential markets are guaranteed to TANK!
I give it five years or more to recover.
I like my games, and I'm still working, so I don't care. There are going to be crazy, crazy, crazy bargains soon. The nib companies are doomed without a bailout.
I feel the same, particularly on the higher end, where potential loss increases in scale with the value of an item. Losing 25% value on a $2000 pinball is much easier to swallow that losing 25% on a $10k pinball. Apply as a multiple based on the size of your collection and do the math. Same goes for classic and exotic cars etc. It's a risky gamble, time will tell, speculation is all we have at the moment. Collective acts of self preservation will dictate what happens to the pinball market as this unfolds.
