Quoted from BMore-Pinball:You don't know that at all.
As a business owner I can tell you 2017 was a very long time ago in terms of the costs of doing business.
I agree it's too much for this machine, but I won't go out and just call it greed.
Since 2017 my labor, overhead, and direct costs have gone up at least 30-40%
Yes, some of it could still be a money grab ... but my guess is their profit % is not that far above what they got in 2017
Regardless of inflation, spooky has become another manufacturer raising price to a perceived collector value level. Are we going to see $11k used TNA next year, or will it be the $9000 gnr Le? Stern is probably next.... maybe that’s why they’re delaying the next release, so they can figure out what the price bump will be.
Regardless, it’s only 250 units being made. They will sell out first day.
