50 and over guys buy pinball, because, well, they are in the prime earning point of their careers most likely. Teenagers/20s people are not buying $8000 pinballs, but they will probably change their mind when they get to a certain level of disposal income. It's really a question of how the economy is doing at any given time, for decent job opportunities to allow people to buy $8k toys. Me for example, I am sorry to say but I had zero interest in pinball until a couple of years ago and I earn well enough to have bought MMR NIB. I consider myself a new recruit, and I am older then 30. There is zero nostalgia for me. My 5 year old likes to play, he just can't afford an $8k toy yet. The engineering aspect of a pinball machine is interesting as well to us.
