Topic sure got side railed or went down the outlane of the thread.
PBR is great ! ( If you have a problem - you just might be it )
Back to EM trends - I think finding nice EM's is getting tougher. Prices are all over the board and the uninformed look to ebay and price from there regardless of condition. A little friendliness and some education will bring about half the people looking to sell a EM pin back to earth. Games offered at realistic prices get snapped up quickly so I think there is demand for EM's out there.
The EM portion of the hobby is decidedly way way smaller than the SS and newer crowds. Woodrails are even a smaller portion of the pinball hobby, despite being beautiful games ! And Bingo's are overlooked almost altogether. Hey - If you get a chance to play a Bingo with some tutorial by a Bingo Owner - take it. You are in for a surprise.
