It's great news so many new pins are being sold, better that then the opposite. Will prices eventually crash, go back up and repeat? Yes, as with any hobby, but for now let the good times roll.
As NIB prices continue to rise though I would expect to take a bigger hit on the secondary market for most higher end titles.
Quoted from Chicoman:The original posted makes a valid point. Pinball and other collectibles go as the economy goes. I hope were not in danger of a bubble bursting but a few more day of -800 on the Dow will make people's pockets shrivel up pretty quickly. Combine that with inflation and rising oil prices....hasn't translated to higher gas prices yet but come spring....who knows. I'll be interested to see where it all goes but the less disposable income the average american has the less people have for money for pinball, barcades, eating or drinking out etc. It's all connected.
As far as the market goes I think this is hopefully a healthy pullback for longer sustainable growth. Just the other week it was announced that unemployment is now at a 50 year low so I don't think we need to be too worried about an economic downturn yet.
