    I'm fixing up a Sinbad right now with a roached playfield because I can sell it cheap to maybe get someone new in the hobby. Methinks part of the problem might be is folks want to start with high end games. I started buying cheap and then might sell 2 games to buy a nicer game and then sell....etc...etc
    I was shocked at how many games I've gone through when I added T2 to my profile last week.

    With a little elbow grease and a lot of "keeping eyes open" I've garnered a nice little collection in 7 years. Slow and steady can still get, and keep, you in the hobby. And I truly believe the hobby isn't as bitter as online forums like Pinside make it seem, just like any media the whiners get more airplay. We all love to read a trainwreck.....

    Quoted from NEW-B:

    The best time to get into pinball was always 10 years before you got into pinball.

    No, because then they would have been part of the separation agreement.....who wants to buy them twice??
