    So what would you like to see prices do? Go down? How far? Stay the same? Go up how much?

    As Newbie spending like crazy just wondering what the experienced pinners would like to see the prices do.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    Almost all analogies are nonsense because they all fail to take in to account that pinball machines have almost nothing in common with houses or cars. I don’t get the pathological obsession people have with trying to crowbar pinball machines into analogies where they don’t belong.
    None of that shit has anything to do with pinball machines. And the idea that the hobby is somehow overrun with speculators buying pinball machines for no other reason than to sell them is pretty thin, and based upon pretty much zero evidence.
    We just focus on the cargument because we are all sick to death of it, but most pinball market analogies are dumb fallacies regardless of what is used.

    Mabey Joe can include a subsidy for certain people to use on pins on this next stimulus bill.

    Quoted from Jamesays:

    I get your point ,when i used an analogy it was to show the common thread of buying into a supply of anything with the intent only to resell like all the new in box or under 100 games played ads this price bubble thread is about

    This is one of the biggest reasons I see Bitcoin exploding some day soon when the Kim Kardasians of the world decide it is cool to have the most of them and it s finite number available Bitcoin could really explode.

    Why are Twighlight Zones so cheap?

    Machine does okay in most sites top pin games, did okay in the pinside tourney, but yet not priced accordingly?

    Why?

    Quoted from metallik:

    - There's ~12000 of them out there
    - They are big, heavy and can be fussy to keep running
    - They're not exactly cheap?

    Sorry I should have been more clear my fault.

    Cheap compared to games costing much more but ranking much lower.
