Quoted from Dewey68:and will soon be artificially influencing the demand by talking it up in every pinball forum and creating fake users to give it all 10's on every pinball ranking site we can find! Mwahahahahahahahaha!
A scary future in which all games have Chicago prices, the horror!!! 
Quoted from goatdan:The other trend that has really surprised me is the whole trading pins thing. I personally don't get what is up with that, but then again, I'm a guy who tends to get games that I know I am not going to get sick of, so trading a title I know I want to get something else I know I want just sounds like I'll have to work again to get back what I wanted originally.
Trading is a good way to capture value when you see it.
I was saving money to buy a machine, I didn't have one in mind, so then I meet someone has got a very nice deal on a machine I'm not familair with. I buy it, and then decide whether I want to keep it or not. It should hold it's value, especially if you get it for a good price, so I might as well have "something" right now then wait for something down the road.
At first I was unsure about trading games and it seemed a little weird, then I basically reach my limit of games, and now I've got to do something.
