The hobby has kinda split and the one side is really bad for the other. I love tinkering with a pin just as much as love playing with them. To be honest I probably spend more hours working on them then I do playing them. The other side is just buy play sell. They are consuming so many pins though. They don't seem to care about condition. To them a pin is 7k+, mint or beat don't matter. It's always been hard to find project but now it's super tough because you have to pay top dollar for pins that need lots of love and money. We used to have that separation HEP and beautiful machines pulled the big dollars and there were pins that were priced based on the work they needed.
