    Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

    I wish I were in your area - I am not seeing anything resembling a price drop in our area. Maybe it will sweep our way soon

    I think we can clearly differentiate between the lower end market for older games, the sweet spot of pricing, versus the $8k plus high end market, and maybe $7k plus for that matter.

    The $2k-$5k market isn't gonna pop, I wouldn't think, plenty of people that love pinball to soak those up with a lot less risk.

    Condition is king. It's all about the shooter lane!
