Quoted from gweempose:I think you misread his post. He acknowledged that a majority of Pinsiders feel his concerns are NOT well founded.
Whoops. Must remember, coffee first, then Pinside. I apologize for my previous post.
Several people have said it and I believe also, that a correction is probably needed. Prices are just getting way out of hand recently. 20 year old, B-list titles are climbing in price so fast that people are saying, F it, I'll just pony up a little more to get a new one. Do some people really want the bottom to fall out of the market and don't care about the future of the hobby? I'd say a small minority do. I think most people just want to get a chance to own an IM or a LOTR or MM,MB, etc.
There is all this talk about it being hard to sell machines since the release of MMR. I think it's just coincidence with the prices getting out of hand. I have passed on 3 machines in the last month. Reason: silly prices. I show up and the first thing the guy utters is, I gotta get x for it because I can't take a loss. Sorry, I am not hear to bail you out since you overpaid for your machine.
I have an experiment, list b list DMDs for 2500 and A listers for 4500. I bet the market gets moving in a hurry. Sorry, I'm not going to pony up $3500 for. roadshow when I can get a IMVE for what, $5400.
