    Quoted from Emkay79:

    Noob here. I've been playing pinball on location all my life. I'm finally at a point where I can afford these things and THIS is the market when I enter into the hobby. How do you think I feel?

    From a pricing perspective, yeah... I feel for new collectors. If you're not flush with cash, these games have become beyond ridiculously expensive.

    This is such a weird time because pinball is on the rise, manufacturing-wise, which is great. But vibe of the collecting community has changed so much over the last few years. It's become a race to the bottom, chasing anything new and shiny. Just look at the last two years. People are throwing down money on games they've never seen. Totally uninteresting.

    Quoted from LTG:

    Those that are into pinball just for what it is.
    LTG : )

    Seems to be a rarity these days!
