I was thinking there would be a big dump of games during the beginning of the pandemic when there was a lot more economic uncertainty, but it didn't really happen. Hoping there's a crash/mass sell-off one day that will dramatically lower prices but doesn't seem like it's happening in the foreseeable future
Quoted from Fezmid:Considering the prices paid at the banning auction, where a bunch of machines WERE dumped at once... Yeah, I don't think that's happening anytime soon either.
But only one or two copies of each game were sold, that's not really going to affect supply, and it's definitely not going to outpace the increased demand from a bunch of normies reading NYT thinking it would be cool to own a pinball machine they know nothing about.
Quoted from MasterBlaster:The part that really gets my goat is the titles that were made in the tens of thousands that are bringing huge money over market value. TAF for example, it’s an amazing game and all…but they made twenty thousand of the GD things! TWENTY THOUSAND. Maybe it’s the 5-liter fox-body Mustang of the pinball world…they made a gazillion of them and now there isn’t a decent example to be had at a decent price anywhere. I’m even seeing Gorgars being posted for 3-4K now…wtf?? Don’t get me wrong I love me some Gorgar but we’re talking about a relatively basic game produced in large numbers by today’s standards. Even if only a fourth of them are still kicking today, that’s a fairly large supply of Gorgars.
Doesnt matter how many were made, what matters is the demand relative to the amount in circulation
