Quoted from galore2112:Haha, this is just getting weird.
Oh, I actually only played Houdini, Oktoberfest, Legends of Valhalla, Hot Wheels, GnR, a Multimorphic game and the Cactus Canyon remake at TPF. That’s why I went there. To see and play potential new machines that I might buy.
Zero interest in the “get in for free” old pins. I got disgusted at all that greed, seeing these high prices that the “good” enthusiast want for their 90s games. LOL. The greeeeeed permeates this hobby it’s unreal.
For all I care, this show could only have businesses showing their new games and I can do just fine without these gold digging types who think they “own” this show because they haul their museum pieces there.
I am not in the market for a used game from these “pinball fans” who think they struck gold. I already have 3 Williams/Bally 90s “A” titles in perfect condition and two more modern games. That’s enough for me. And from reading this thread where some think they are doing the world a favor, attack me (and the VAST majority of visitors of that show who didn’t bring games or were there thousands of pins???) and feel all superior for it, I’d rather not see or touch their silly games haha!
You are aware that different people like different things, right? I don’t have space for EMs and 80s games in my collection, but I absolutely love playing them at the show.
I bring games to the show every year - the compensation received is not “worth it” from a financial standpoint, but I enjoy sharing my games so that others can experience them. I have a price on them that some would consider high - but it’s not because I’m greedy - it’s because I don’t really want to sell them.
Quoted from way2wyrd:just the spitfire tho come on
Ha - the wife was very explicit during setup - “whatever amount you are thinking about selling them for, add $1000…and I’m still going to be mad if they sell”.
Quoted from zr11990:When can we get a room
I want to say it was June last year when the room blocks opened. Just make sure you are on their mailing list!
Yea, Covid - it’s out there. Let’s not derail the thread.
Back on topic - is it just me or are there others out there that spend WAY too much money on pinball merch they don’t need while at the show?
I don’t buy it
