Quoted from Concretehardt:Now for the good news.. While I was in the hospital last night I took the opportunity to tell my wife that I just sent a deposit on an $8800 pinball machine (IMND LE). It was the perfect time because I had just had a seizure and she was feeling sorry for me. My plan worked! she was totally supportive of my ridiculously expensive game purchase.
Husband level: Expert!
This meme is your prophecy. (Oh, also, Get well soon!)
Quoted from rotordave:Nope. Won’t buy LEs any more - MetLE was the last one. It was $4000 cheaper than the new ones are. After Metallica, they just kept going up and up and up with every release.
So I made a stand. No more.
I don’t need them.
Even the pros are too fucking expensive here. $9,800. ($7000 USD) So I wait for used ones or bring one in from overseas.
I made a stand and I’m sticking with it.
I have no FOMO whatsoever. I leave that to all you guys.

I’m in a similar place. I even check with my preferred distributors, but find mylsef gasping at the rapid rise in prices over the last few years. STLE was my last. But I have several pros now and I’m quite happy. I find myself enjoying the savings way more than the thrill of opening a box.
Despite that, I’m still buying a TNA direct from Spooky. So I can’t say I’m totally out on new games.
Also, it seems the new Stern minimum pricing chased me off some more. I’m not chased off from Stern games, I really like them. I am chased off from NIB Stern games, at least, for now.
I would love to see a little chart of the MSRP vs Street Price for Sterns over the last few years. I certainly saw a nice bump.
