Quoted from vex:if you guys are buying b title routed games for 3500$ out there, then that says alot right there.
i am truly speechless.
I'm not saying I'm buying them, but people are.
Let me repeat, there are no pins for sale here. At all. And when they come up, they sell for close to the prices the OP has listed.
In the late 90's, early 2000's, there was a cabal of guys who bought up all the pins and sold them to folks down south.
We import all our pins here. Very few of mine were local purchases, and they took months to find. Heck, I had to get my LotR from Vegas! My Creech came from Italy. tSPP, one of Sterns biggest runs. We have three in my province.
