    Quoted from cooked71:

    I'm trying to stop them - they want to go out for dinner, play golf, everything they normally do, but they're now more adamant as if to prove they're still young.
    Maybe just my parents have issues.

    Maybe your parents have got it right and the rest of the people have it wrong. My father is 91 and he still wants to do everything. It is not the world owes them a living, more like they appreciate what they have and want to enjoy it as much as possible. I am starting to agree with them.

    My Dad said that it is his responsibility to look after himself. He has bought masks and wears them when he goes out. My Dad is a legend. He survived WW2, then a civil war, then fought in Korea. He helped in Vietnam. People push him out of the way in the shops to get to toilet paper before him. Thank god we have sorted that for the next few days.

    More people have died so far in 2020 from the common flu than corona virus.

    If Pinball crashes it will be straight back up like everything else. People need to stop wishing doom and gloom.

    Quoted from cooked71:

    Bolted to the floor means nothing when the floor collapses.
    noob-a-tron is 100% correct - NIB game prices were already at "that's ridiculous" price levels before this. They'll really be unobtanium now - $16k TMNT LE anyone?

    We would still buy as long as we can sell a machine first. We have been like that for a few years. I think some games will still hold their value, some games will not. You have to take the good with the bad and we have had it very good for a long time. My wife and I want to enjoy the hobby for as long as we can.

    Munsters is not a good example. A LE was always going to be a tough sell in Australia. 60 came in and everybody that wanted one got a new one and the game has not been out very long. Simple supply and demand. That is always the risk when you buy a new game that no one has played. We know that and I am sure you do too. We have one and I love it.

    I’m just glad we still have waves to surf.[quoted image]

    I do not think anyone can take that away from us.
