Ok I wanted to share some real location earnings on some pins. I can do this as I own the hames and pins at the cinema. Oddly enough the Popeye I got from the Banker thru Blackrose earns almost as much as Tron Pro. None of the current line up of pins are doing as well as IM or WOZ or even Hulk LE. Spiderman was number 1 at 23.25 for the week followed by Tron, Popeye and Rocky.
If it was not for the great resale value I could not operate them in movie cinemas but they get no sunlight, limited play in comparing to pizza places, gas stations, and diners so they do not get worn out. Remember movie cinemas also have limited hours than other street locations. If you keep a pin like Spiderman where it cost 4k new use it two years at 1k a year income, you be at 2k income but you still have the pin for resale. Its been a great business model the last few years and factor in tax advantages currently in place, its been a no brainer to buy the pins. My new CPA can not believe the pins will sell for more than the new cost, I explained that this is the new normal, he just shook his head and explained it has to be a great business to by something with no depreciation. It does create a large tax bill when you sell the pin for such profit. I wonder how long this "new" normal will last.
