Quoted from CrazyLevi:There ya have it folks, the cure for the pinball pricing blues is the shittiest thing on earth:
Video pinball!
Problem solved.
Yah hate to agree with this but video pinball blows....
and yes I have played the super expensive really nice ones and they blow also.
Quoted from Bublehead:Video pinball has come a long way... and is increasing in popularity with the newbs just because of prices.
And for those of us who can build and configure a VP cabinet from scratch, we are laughing all the way to the bank.
And my right hand is a good substitute for an ex wife which can also be very expensive.
Quoted from Bublehead:My business law professor warned us, never to make an offer in jest, especially if their are any witnesses, and never accept an offer in jest either because even if it would seem unrealistic, outlandish, or false, once accepted, the other party has actionable recourse if you try and back out.
Well there is a reason this person is teaching instead of ya know... running an actual business.
Quoted from Bublehead:He was a business law professor at the local community college. I guess you would have expected Jeffrey Bezos or Elon Musk to be teaching a pathetic community college BL101 course? Right....
I'd like his expert take on if he who smelt it actually dealt it also.
And can I sue for that as well..
Pinball machines are not really old enough to be true "collectibles" anyways...
At least not the ones people really care about from the 90s onward.
Someday they will be but then it will be all about originality and condition.
With all the modding and stupid shit people do to pins it will be interesting to see how many unfucked originals are left. My guess is a handful.
Quoted from The_Pump_House:Because they are subject to the same supply and demand market forces?
Because they sometimes are limited production, collectible and highly sought after?
But, most importantly, because sometimes you can use a car to pick up a pinball machine.
It's a pretty lazy comparison.
Everyone has one so thats what comes to mind?? thats about it really.
Both are expensive is about all I can come up with.
