Living on the coast, I have a few friends that have boats. $500 a month payment plus insurance, they use it about 4 times a year, and those boats go down in value every year. I will take pinball machines any day over that. Plus it only takes me a minute to start using it. Walk over and turn it on.
Will I make money on my pinball machines? Most likely a bit, but how many other hobbies out their are just a hole you through money in and never get back?
