    OP
    Quoted from lowepg:

    I keep seeing people talking about this "rebirth of pinball." Or the "new age" of pinball...
    Sorry.... I don't buy it.
    I think we are simply at the crossroads of the prime pinhead generation hitting middle-age and having the disposable income to relive their youth a bit.

    You're right - and I've said the same (but not with the doom and gloom).

    Basically, yes, if pinball doesn't evolve, then as the boomers and gen-x/y-ers go away, so shall pin prices go the way of EM gun and puck games.

    On the other hand, right now, it appears Gen-x/y is just hitting its stride. So if you're looking for prices to plummet in the near future, I would not wait for it.
