Do your business dealings with Aaron. Their prices aren't bad for retail. Paying a 10-15% premium on the "going" rate isn't really all that bad. You get one month of service calls as well.

Aaron works on the games there, the younger of the two guys.

You can try negotiating. I was there today and the prices were higher all around compared to my last trip there.

Quoted from LesManley:
He has raised prices because the Twin Cities are bone dry for reasonably priced pins right now. Anything remotely reasonable on CL sells right away and the common person who just wants a pin doesn't have access to collector's circles to get one that isn't priced out of this world so they have few options.
Fun fact, Al's Party Zone was super close to going on route with Eastside Pinball at Sun Ray Lanes, but Tony didn't want to pay close to $2,400 for it so Cue Ball Wizard is on route now instead with all his other games.

That makes sense. It all seemed a little too high.
