Quoted from usandthem:And for peanuts...Enjoy your 8K game while the guy on the line makes $9/hr. or @19K per year. It is pinball's dirty little secret. Slave wages to build toys for rich people, kind of like China. I have a moral dilemma every time I purchase a newer game. I've never bought NIB though, so that eases my guilt a little bit, but not much.
Post edited by usandthem: Clarification.
Money is not everything dude. Maybe those people working the assembly line are paying their bills, buying the toys they like and are happy with what they do for $9 an hour. Being happy is more important than anything. Not everyone cares about how much money they earn. They probably think people paying $8K for a Pinball Machine are idiots, lol. Actually they probably don't even know the price of one. Don't feel guilty. If it makes you happy give them some more job security and buy one.
