We live in a unique bubble here. I like how Levi shows us this has been discussed once or twice before.

we have ebbs and flows but pinball is immortal in our lifetime. IMHO.

Pinball is immortal. I like that.

I think a little about wood rail collectors. Not fully my thing. But I know the rails that they get are still in high demand.

It's a nice bubble to reside in.

I am watching for just the right deal / like Blake on the voice.

Overall, going up. IMO.

There will always be good deals and exceptions to be found. Like routed games from the last year or two that have sat unused and still do. Watch for those, but everything else is climbing slowly, it seems.

A collectible card game called magic the gathering has just gone through some interesting changes we can look at, should we so desire.

Wizards of the coast owned by hasbro just doubled their retail price on their latest release,
“Timespiral remastered”. I say doubled, it might be a little more or less.

They have also made moves to eliminate the local gaming store from their model. Utilizing Amazon. I hope those local gaming stores are watching.
I look at wizards move partially as the locals gaming stores have been closed for more than year but Amazon delivers today, and largely never stopped.

Amazon can do this to almost any market now. (And they know it)

Profit is being grabbed right now today. I expect to see new prices retail prices double in the next 2 years. I’m certainly not saying this is a good thing.

So I guess my ultimate answer, yes I think prices are going up...

On many things.
