    Quoted from PinMonk:

    Street prices, not retail. I was able to get Spidermans NIB for $3300 and that machine is roughly a Premium in Stern's new tiers. Premiums are more than 2x that now, street, with the best discount you can get. Stern has cut dealer margins AND raised prices over the last 10 years, causing the actual price increase to be more than just raising prices because the best deals are much smaller percentages off retail.

    Actually you have no idea if Sterns margins have been cut if the dealer margins have been cut or if dealer recommended price were just a joke and margins have gone up for both

    Quoted from PinMonk:

    Oh, I have an idea. People talk. Dealers talk. It happened. Stern squeezed both ends over the last 10 years, and even if I was oblivious to that, there's still the issue that >100% increase in price from 2008 $3300 NIB Spidermans to 2018 $7200 Premiums now is factual.

    Dealers are making $1000 per pro that is solid margins WOZ has gone from $6500 to $11,500 in three fewer years seems JJP just as bad

    Quoted from jimwe5t:

    You’ve hit the nail on the head with JJP games, they are a maintence nightmare that won’t go away. And as far as warranty service goes, good luck trying to get an answer on a ticket.
