It would have to be something real special to get me to buy any pin now a days. Used or new. Its out of control, not a matter of lack of funds but theres a point where it makes u feel ridiculous and up here ur gonna be looking at 9K plus for a Pro. 
Quoted from extraballingtmc:I’ll never understand why we constantly need new threads and posts from people who are announcing they are out of the nib game.
I'll never understand why people who think certain kinds of threads are tedious continue to post in them. What do u care? just drain the thread and move on. Seems to me maybe u don't like them cause ur forced to think about the ridiculous pricing.
Quoted from Yelobird:Most times you Make money on resale. If you can’t worst case afford to lose $300 over a few years this likely Isn’t the right hobby for you.
Most times? Crappola
So because u can recoup most of ur money its fine to spend more than u really want to? The OG post never even mentioned resale so not sure what the point of that was, theres a cap some people have with certain items and eventually it becomes unworthy of the investment. I like pinball but 9K for a Stern Pro regardless of resale has me out of the game.
Quoted from extraballingtmc:I don’t drain threads, only pussies with issues do.
What?
Quoted from Yelobird:Yeah most people just throw a pinball machine away when they are done with it. Makes total sense resale of ownership has no value. Umph
I never said that. I was eluding to the fact that just because u can recoup ur money with a reasonable loss even doesn't mean there isn't a point where it becomes overpriced.
Nice try. 
Quoted from gonzo73:I'm going to pay $9000 grand, and watch the playfield turn into an impressionist painting?
Oh no.
My TNA is also gorgeous after 3 years.
For $9,000,000 I agree that PF better be bullet proof. 
TNA looks great cause the ball has no real path to be launched in the air. Its a flat new style modern EM.
Quoted from cooked71:RnM looks great also……what’s the new theory?
RnM is a good game but that's strictly due to code. Again not very much going on there to cause dimples.
