    To me, to buy something, own it for a few years, play with it, enjoy it, then sell it for 75% of the cost of what I paid is still a great value compared to literally anything else I can think of.

    OP
    Quoted from Shapeshifter:

    Agree.
    That is, IF a person keeps a game for a few years or so.
    Not so easy now to buy, play a few months, flip, next one etc.

    Buying a new car every year is also more expensive than every 3-5 years. If someone wants a new car every year, be prepared to pay for that privilege.

    I'd apply the same thinking to owning a pinball for 3 months. and certainly a NIB.
