Quoted from Collin:

-Growth of the market for DMD pins - people who grew up with the 90s games now have our big-kid jobs and can afford them in the first place

This is exactly it, at least personally speaking. Hopefully I don't get evil looks as a youngin' who's causing the prices to skyrocket .

Lack of supply and high prices obviously go hand in hand, but especially for people in areas that don't have a great market, there's a big urge to jump on nearly anything that comes on the market(machine you don't want as much, or too high of a price) because you don't know if what you're looking for will show up any time soon.
