Quoted from CrazyLevi:Child labor is inherently wrong.
Letting your dog crap on your neighbor's lawn in inherently wrong.
Murder is inherently wrong.
There's nothing inherently wrong with requiring a non-refundable deposit on a pinball machine. Don't like it? Don't buy it. I think that's the point of this thread.
I could not agree more with this. Quit buying LE pins if the whole thing upsets you that much. It's getting old listening to everyone complain about having to buy an overpriced pinball machine. Buyers are the problem, not Stern or distros. As long as people keep throwing money at them for just whispering a hint of the next pin then nothing will change. Flippers take advantage of the situation because "LE buyers" are willing to pay even more ridiculous money. By paying, you are agreeing to the terms of the deal like if there is a refund or not.
