Pinball is slowly becoming more so a "Want and Owning" and a lot less playing. Have I become a hoarder?
I enjoy fixing them, although I almost never play the machines anymore unless I am drunk? If I am sober, I rather fix and clean them but almost never play them. However, I still want to buy more. This sounds like pinball addiction?
Quoted from EvanDickson:Definitely scour the ads within 1200 miles every day though
Yeah for me, every morning, afternoon and night I am looking on CL and sometimes even Ebay. Got a nice FT for under 2k on ebay once. So it is possible to find deals. I have to say the hunt and desire to acquire is most of the hobby for me.
Quoted from mittens:When I started into this hobby with my first pin (st:tng)
ST:TNG was also my first pin which then grew to 25.
Quoted from mittens:I enjoy sometimes just turning them all on for the light show and will sit down with a scotch just admiring the art, the colours and lights. On occasion I do play
I do that all the time, I turn on almost all my pins every weekend. Sometimes they stay on for the entire weekend. I often just open a nice IPA and just look at them. And I mumble to myself... I am so uncanny. lol
