    Prices seem to be affecting everyone. 1up keeps raising their prices, PB just increased their prices. I work in manufacturing and it's just sad reality right now everything keeps going up in prices because of materials and the increase in global shipping costs. It's a huge mess and don't be surprised if we see another round of price increases in the industry early next year

    For pinballs more than anything I would think shipping is gonna be killing people. A container of pins is pretty bad for space conservation, each unit has to be on a pallet with nothing on top, so only so many can fit on a typical 40' container. Shipping a container has more than tripled. These aren't cheap products that easily can be stacked and jammed into shipping crates to save on money. And even if not overseas, domestic shipping has gone up double in some places.
