    Yes. I just got a NIB Rush Premium a few months ago. At that price, I am definitely waiting until next year before considering purchase of another pin.

    I guess if a pin I really wanted, just happened to show up, and was in a condition and price that was just a huge bargain, I might revisit that position. But that's a pretty low-likelihood event. I'm pretty sure I'm good 'til next year.

    Frankly, as it is, with prices the way they are, maybe I'll never find another pin I want to buy. I've been out of the community for almost 20 years; the other six pins I own were purchased in the mid- to late-90's. Going through sticker shock getting back into things. When even an "inexpensive" pin runs $3-5K, and the ones I'm most likely to want more in the $6-10K range for good condition late 80's/mid-90's models, gotta start wondering, do I really need more than seven?
