Quoted from zpinman370:Hey guys, when i started this thread it was based on affordability for the average guy - there are lots of well to do pinheads that have all the latest and greatest LE's etc. and good for them. It is also the rise in pricing over the last few years that was open for discussion. The NIB pricing is getting stupid expensive IMO for the average person - especially if you have a significant other that doesn't get the need for pins @ 8-10K a pop

Wait, but the $4k NIB games of yesteryear were designed for the "average guy"? The "average guy" wants one pinball machine, max, for his basement, and when he finds out what they cost, he either moves on to a foosball table, or picks up a cheap EM on Craigslist. And the "average guy's" SO wouldn't have thought $4k NIB was a "reasonable" expenditure back in 2005 any more than he/she thinks $8k is "reasonable" today. For your SO, the price hasn't changed at all, it was and remains simply "way too much for a toy."
