Quoted from JamesUK:dnaman - Stern are a huge part of the U.K. market, but I think they are a huge part of all markets currently aren't they?
We get games from CGC, Spooky, JJP, Homepin, American Pinball, Team Pinball, etc. but the market gravitates to Stern pricing because, either:
- It reflects true market costs and is correct
- It is the bench for price positioning
Stern owns a huge part of the U.K. market because it pumps out the most machines...
The pricing of Sterns in the U.K. are definitely not a bench for price nor market costs... Prices in the U.K. are price fixed by Stern and Electrocoin making us the most expensive place in Europe to purchase a NIB Stern... Hence the arguments on www.pinballinfo.co.uk over people bring machines in from France and Europe
