Quoted from Black_Knight:I've noticed more reasonable prices and longer sale times, but only slightly.
It could just be seasonality, summer sales usually slow down a bit.
Could be Stern working through their backlog since they didn't release a second game yet this year.
Could be the price of gas or general inflation is slowing sales.
But I agree with the comments above, the upward trend will continue, as I haven't seen a real jolt to the pinball market yet.
I think pinball is very seasonal for alot of people. More people going on and spending money on vacations, home improvements, etc., and just spending more time outside. I probably engage with pinball half as much in the summer as I do the rest of the year just because I want to spend my time and money elsewhere.
