Quoted from brobra:My concern is I feel pins are discretionary, non-essential luxury items. I am currently buying quite a few, and wanted to check with the community to see if any dealers/retailers have seen/felt correlations, I personally feel CV-19 is way overblown, I should probably buy a good index fun now, and more pins later with the $.
The last recession almost killed Stern (a business) but had zero effect on existing “classic” pin prices (a hobby). Prices just kept going up. The only thing that can crash the pin market is everyone trying to sell everything at once. That just doesn’t happen. Pinball hobbyists almost never cash out on all their games at once.
