    Quoted from EJS:

    I can vouch for the bottle NIB (new in bag)

    “A fool and their money are soon parted” as the old saying goes. As long as people are willing to pay, let ‘em pay. I work at an office furniture dealership, and if I had ergonomic chairs in stock when the pandemic hit, I could’ve sold them for 2x or even 3x the usual price. Unfortunately I didn’t have that crystal ball, but pinball dealers do right at this very moment. They would be wise to capitalize while they can. The scalpers are doing it right now, so why shouldn’t they? They can’t go as nuts with their markup anyway…the manufacturers will rein them in. I’d much rather see a dealer make the markup when it is their primary source of income. The issue that I have with all of this is the people who buy a machine or accessory for the sole purpose of flipping it as soon as the price is right. At that point they are treating it like a commodity, and that’s only going to hurt the people who truly love the game of pinball. The real fans will be the ones who can no longer afford it.

    Quoted from pinzrfun:

    I wanna get in on this gouging thing. Some guy on Craigslist was looking for a DE Star Wars, so I offered him mine for 6k and he declined.
    What am I doing wrong??

    Delete the DE from the beginning and add LE at the end. It will sell in a hot minute.

    I read somewhere that the cans scene was Steve Martin’s favorite part of the whole movie.
