    i see no shortage of PINS for sale . Never seen so many for sale per day on pinside ever.

    Any and all titles. There was a Time You never saw a Quicksilver, Monster Bash or cactus canyon for sale. now it seems about every week you do.
    I do not get Where there is a shortage except for NIB overpriced Stern Homepins with coindooors or Way Overpriced falling Apart JJP chipping pooling NIB playfields which in all honesty we should all stay the F Away from anyway .

    / So why would i buy a Stern topper for 2 k When i can buy a Whole pinball machine for it .Topper that Cool?
    Why pay 10k for an old Tron pro when you can get a used Homepin with a coin door used for 4500-5500 or new for IDK What a pro now is 6500$ . see many ST pros/ And other new Sterns less than 7 years old for selling for under 5.5k with the same amount of features or more.?>
    Title? yeah Tron was a great Movie but legacy was not ..And the game is Good but not Mind blowing great even for a die hard Tron fan.
    In the end you pay what you will pay / me i am not paying or playing this game anymore. no Playfield lottery / Supply and demand lottery trying to Play PIN Stock market game.
    Just want to play pinball and buy pinball machines i feel are worth the Money and sell it for what i got into it. If i could profit cool but not a Priority in my hobby .
    Greeed! is selfish /

    Quoted from cooked71:

    This will only continue while demand outstrips supply. The idea of paying the same for a routed game as you would for a NIB only holds up when there’s not enough NIB games to satisfy demand.
    Once current production bottlenecks are resolved, the used market will suffer.
    Simple supply and demand, but by no means permanent.
