Quoted from delt31:Majority have no idea how these things work, send whatever they ask and then they’re lost when the thing stops working.
So you mean like real pinball machines!

Quoted from Crash:I find it interesting that it took an economic recession to finally, FINALLY, pop the price bubble. People are spending much more on basics like gas, food, rent, vehicles, mortgages, and utilities and can no longer afford to charge these kinds of prices. The games will not sell unless they come back down to earth. Sellers need to sell to pay for other things, buyers can't afford what they are asking.
And even then it will be difficult to move them as time goes on and this inflation and recession gets worse. This hobby is entertainment, not an investment.
My bubble popped at the 10k price point. I've been close, but I can't bring myself to cross that threshold.
Quoted from Gribbs:Deleted post
The guy with 31 pinball machines crying about the economy. That's America alright. Nevermind the real issues. I can tell from this sentence, you are the problem, not the people you are blaming.
Quoted from Aurich:Just a suggestion, but your Pinside experience can be greatly enhanced by simply using the ignore feature instead of arguing with people constantly. You're never going to change their mind about basic facts, and they're just going to make you grumpy. Or at least they make me grumpy, and I don't come here for bad vibes. Rather talk about pinball.
but..but...dammit. I have no rebuttal.
Quoted from pinheadpierre:How about I sell you my collection at a 50% discount of its 2042 value? Just hold on a minute while I go find my crystal ball.
Well sheeeet. That's might nice of you. The bubble should have popped 20 or 30 times by then 
I am sure Levi doesn't mind keeping track until then.
Quoted from Geeterman1:Where are you hearing this? I’m outside Chicago and they reported our electric rates are decreasing due to an energy surplus this summer…
They are indeed warning of rolling blackouts this summer. Crazy, this place has such a low population and if they are concerned about here, I can't imagine how the rest of the country operates.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Munsters is one of the great Pinside-defying games.
Everybody hates it. For about 3 years it was referenced in every "Dark night for Stern" thread.
Yet...it was actually a big hit and a huge seller for Stern. You hardly ever see them come up here for sale.
I know nobody will ever be convinced, but Pinside still represents only a very small, die-hard portion of this hobby/market.
Stern Star Wars was another huge seller, despite the common wisdom around here.
that's because no one bought them. I had a chance to pick up one relatively cheap, but I didn't like it at all.
