I own a construction subcontracting company, but I built up my pin collection to what I have today (mostly newer Sterns) over the years by picking up older 80s and 90s non working pins cheap, fixing them and selling or trading, scoring some great deals on Craigslist etc ( back when that was still possible) and trading up. All my newer games except Iron Maiden were acquired via trading multiple older pins that I got fairly inexpensively. Of course, had I just held onto those older 90s games that I traded Id probably be better off as far as the value of the collection. But whaddya gonna do.
