    I operate a fair amount of pins. The only reason I do is because I like them.

    The reality is, out if 50+ Pins, I have about 5 that make more then $100 a month gross. Less then $50 a month in my pocket doesn’t pay for a pin very fast. Add in maintenance etc and it’s even slower.

    When resale prices drop, I will be done operating pins. I simply won’t be able to afford it.

    I actually don’t mind spending the $ if the game produces. This means you JJP! Cause 3 out of the 5 highest earning games I run are JJP. And yes I have new stern stuff on route also, and a remake too.

    I really don’t have the issue of games sitting in the shop long. I could see that being an issue with a small number of locations, but I just bump em down the road to the next stop.

    Don’t know how selling to ops cheaper would work. Every collector would just find an operator hookup to get them a cheap game.
