I've never cared for this argument. Money isn't some infinite thing, at a certain point you can't afford it, but also at a certain point it's not worth it.

Sure, if you're willing to spend $5400 maybe you're okay with $5800, but when does it stop? When Stern bumps up prices again, as they keep doing, and a Pro passed the $6k point do you keep buying? It's a far cry from when it was only $4500, and that wasn't too long ago.

I dunno about everyone else, but the money I make isn't going up at the same rate pin prices are.

Yeah, Iron Maiden is $7300 shipped. I'm 100% out at that price. Cool game, I've only played the Pro and I want to try the "full featured" one for sure, but I ain't buying no matter how nice it is. You gotta draw a line somewhere, and I'm done at these prices for a game, any game.

Sure, but someone has to buy the NIB games for you to buy them used from them later.
