    Quoted from jonnyo:

    I think there are two generations right now vying for pins, which are driving demand.

    I agree. I think more people are getting into this hobby. And there are only a fixed number of classic/childhood memory games out there (90's games from my perspective I'm in the gen X group) which would naturally drive up the prices.

    I wish I got into collecting 10 years ago - and wasn't spending my money buying new cars every two years!

    Thinking about this more...

    In the near term I could see prices on older games coming down a little if collectors want to sell games to make room for WOZ, JJ second pin, and whatever games come from Stern's new design team. But only if there is not enough demand or new people getting into pinball to snatch up these older games fast enough.

    Could just be wishful thinking on my part, hoping I can score a great deal!
