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.
