eh, I'm on the flip side of OP. I never thought I'd buy NIB because of prices compared to 20-30 year old games. But guess what -- any 90s B/W on my wishlist is actually more than NIB Stern Pros and has inflated much faster than Stern's prices... So these NIB games started to look appetizing in the past 12 months. I'm in on a few. no regrets. I was pleasantly surprised that modern games are just as good as the heyday. In fact, we may be in the middle of a modern pinball heyday with all the great titles and games coming out of multiple manufacturers. In 15 years some of these current games may be at the top of the list of desirability. Aint nothing to complain about here. Just spending money on stuff that's worth it to me, and not spending money on stuff that isn't worth it to me. Life is good and pinball is fun!
