The truth is you really do not even need $1,500 to start out in the hobby. You can buy an EM for $300-500 or even get lucky every now and find a early SS for $500-800. You may have to put a little work into cleaning them up, but it will get you started. Then you can always sell them and work your way up to the big dogs gradually.
Quoted from charliebrown2417:Another thing to point out-
Look at my collection.
I have 1 game in the top 100, and its pretty high up there. It's usually around the top 70-90. All of my other pins are unique. I bought them because I couldn't play them anywhere and they fit my interests. I constantly have people saying "Oh my gosh, you have a Bone Busters! That's awesome!" Or "Can I come over to play Hook?"
Neither of those games are spectacular, but people don't see them often, so my collection is unique, and they both cost less than half of most top 100 games.
I would have to disagree with you on Bone Busters. A friend of mine spent about 6 months restoring one. Being a EM guy, he knows that usually when I come over, I will go directly to his EMs and not even look at anything else he has new, but one day when I came over he insisted I try his restored BB. I honestly love the game and look forward to playing it when I go over to his house. Great game with a great ruleset that I don't think many people ever figured out.
