This has made me rethink my buying preferences. My AFM is leaving today, the MM is possibly going up for trade or sale as well. I like both of those games but don't like any game enough that is in my personal collection FOREVER if it costs more than $2-3K. lol.

Quoted from houseofpin:

I feel the "train has left the station" and for all the guys on this site that say "hey, value will not be effected"

agree but i'm not buying the sentiment that some MMR owners have that every original MM is worth less than an MMR. I valued my sample MM at 11-12K pre announcement, think it's worth between 8500-10K now. I wouldn't sell it for less than the reproduction price before they are out.

Quoted from houseofpin:

I feel there are so many that bought pins because they felt prices could not drop.

I thought prices would drop but never thought my game would do so overnight, basically. I did, however, buy mine at a price that i was willing to keep it forever and not be mad if it depreciated below what i paid.

Quoted from Syco54645:

Really hope that this causes a mass price correction on all pins,

Well, I'm doing buying high priced games that are candidates for reproduction, so i have more money to spend on the cheaper games. If all the deep pocketed buyers (i'm not one) decide the a games are too risky, they might pump the prices of the other games even higher. Just a thought.

Quoted from houseofpin:

even if they take between $8.5K-$10K like you are willing to do

i honestly don't know if mine is worth the bottom end of that but honestly don't care. It's worth that to me. If someone offers me more than i feel it's worth *to me* I would get rid of it.

i agree. point well made. i am done posting about this game unless i put it up for sale or need technical advice.

Quoted from Syco54645:

That is also a valid concern.

i'm not concerned about it happening as i buy my games for prices i'm willing to live with. Not trying to be snarky.

Quoted from Syco54645:

Another thought of mine is that the people that bought there games as investments see that the era is ending and bail.

that would be awesome. Unfortunately, I think there are enough people who will just target the other games because they aren't in it 100% for investment. They like pinball, just not willing to lose money. Some may argue if that is truly a person who loves pinball or not. lol.

This wasn't a commentary on mm as much as it was on the trends i see in the hobby.
