Quoted from phil-lee:Wish I had a Blue Chip machine.
I used to have a cow chip machine.
Quoted from o-din:Going back to the beginning until about 20 years ago, being a great investment was almost always part of the sales pitch used by the companies that made them, and promoted that greatly on the flyers for these machines. If somebody is still using these as an investment, why do others care or feel the need to complain?
Back then they WERE an investment, because the use case was different. These days, can an op even make money back on anything but a Stern Pro...if that?
1 week later
Quoted from PinballAir:That increase is based on 2 things: 1) you bought it at the right time, so the increase in value is crazy because of timing.
2) The demand/ appeal will be constant.
seems to be the same as market guessing.
Quoted from TreyBo69:I feel like I'm seeing less insane prices than I was a few months ago, but it may just be confirmation bias. It's hard to seperate what is priced to move and what titles are just unpopular.
Please tell me where you are seeing these. Here on pinside they are as crazy as ever. I need a new source.
Quoted from wolfemaaan:There are more arcades/Barcades now and pinball machines being released every month than any other time in history
We used to have Gottlieb, Williams, Bally, Data East
Now we got AP, Stern, JJP, Deeproot, Chicago, Spooky, etc
You lost all your money last week in the stock market? Need a hug?
This is wrong.
Quoted from wolfemaaan:Maybe in IA, but not Cali
Someone already brought this up in another thread. It's not true. The numbers were higher back in the day. The only one putting out a lot of games now is Stern - who may very well be selling more games than they did back then, but the rest of the new companies aren't selling nearly what was sold back then (on average).
