Is there a bubble on "is this a bubble" threads on pinside?
I feel like the "is this a bubble" thread market is still going strong, as we see one - almost identical to the last - once a month.
But with so many "is this a bubble" threads, is NOW the time to get out? Can this forum possibly support yet one more "is this a bubble?" Thread?
I feel like it can. Every time people start to say that the "bubble thread" market is about to pop, we see another one. I've been hearing - since at least 2003 - that the bubble thread market will burst, and it never happens. The pinball market always remains strong, and each additional "is this a bubble" thread continues unabated as the pinball bubble refuses to burst despite the desperate wishes of people who want to buy a twilight zone for $1500.
So, you can keep insisting that the bubble thread market is a bubble, but it doesn't make it true. History has shown us there's ALWAYS room for yet one more "is this a bubble?" Thread. And with more hobbyists entering the pinball hobby daily, it's clear that we have an almost inexhaustible supply of people willing to post rhetorical questions about the supposed pinball bubble.
