Quoted from blondetall:I used to have horses. I realized that by time I paid for boarding ($425/horse/month,) shoes, vet bills, food, hay, etc... my pinball machines are very cheap by comparison. Initial cost and maybe some LEDs or upgrades, but no ongoing monthly expenses.
Yeah - at our local tracks its about 2k/month/horse and since we don't have slot machines and gambling is low, the purses are too low to sustain. We tried racing at other tracks in La and Ky but that wasn't very fun. I have a bunch of win pics on my wall, and a reasonably sized hole in my pocket.
No (meaningful) ongoing expenses is a really, really, nice thing about pinball.
Quoted from PoMC:Mod your Xbox and do the Gamestop "burn and return" on used games or download from Usenet off the xbox group.
It's called "stealing".
