    Never in my life have I seen such uncertain times as I am today. Coronavirus fears shutting the world down, and the economy taking a dive at the same time. In a few months after the virus has run it's course, if it does, things may never be the same, at least for some time.

    I don't live and die by the stock market, but I know there are many that do. I put a down payment on a Rick and Morty, and plan on completing the purchase if and when it ever gets done.

    Just wondering how this world in turmoil is affecting other's decisions to continue buying NIB pinball machines at the moment. May add a poll after some responses.

    Quoted from 85vett:

    Nope, not a chance. I buy all my games with disposable income.

    What new in box games are you planning on buying over the next few months?

    Don't know about NIB or used pinball machines, but in a month or two there are bound to be plenty of good deals on other items or services.

    Last crash, I had my ceilings scraped and redone for half the price they would normally charge.

    Quoted from Mike_J:

    However, I’ve invested more in the market over the last 14 days than I had in the past year. The buying opportunities have been incredible, but that window won’t be open forever.

    Hope that works out for you.

    Well, I missed that by at least a few months, perhaps even years, but the stock market is once again getting slammed today as cases surge in Europe and the USA. It's almost been surreal how the markets have rebounded since the initial drop at the beginning of the pandemic with so many businesses still closed and people out of work.

    Could this be the beginning of of a true free fall, the likes of which we haven't seen since 2008 or even worse? Or will we know even more next week?
