    Quoted from Viggin900:

    The increasing prices of pinball machines comes from wages and taxes.

    What’s the source of this information?

    Personally I think the rising cost of new pinball is more because they can and people keep paying up

    Quoted from TreyBo69:

    Pinball machines are super expensive to manufacture, combine that with raising material prices, inflation, and increasing demand....lots of reasons why the prices are going up a few hundred bucks a year.

    No argument pinball machines are expensive to manufacture. But they don’t become several $100 more each year, especially when most major components are used over and over. Exception would be a new board system and the recent covid issues. Pins had been climbing in price well before the pandemic and rate of inflation.

    Demand also has zero increasing effects on production costs. If anything, it will drive production costs down due to more units being produced.
