I guess it depends on what your wanting in your collection. Someone could have a decent collection of 4 pins for around 12k. That is how I started and then built from there and added a few NIB games over the years and traded up on some. I used to make money on all my pin sells but I think those days are long gone. I got lucky and won a new spiderman vault edition a couple years ago which helped out for sure. These days I am really just looking for quality over quantity. Good coded games go to top of my want list and now after owning DI I am looking at adding some more JJP games but the price tag is steep. It might be hard for me to drop 9500 on jjpotc.
