Flippers only bum me out because they buy the project games that I want to buy and fix, but they don't really fix them and then charge an absurd amount. Hoarders suck for a similar reason. They just sit on their games and put it in an ever growing to-do pile. I genuinely enjoy fixing up games and it's harder and harder to find project games for reasonable prices. I don't even charge a lot for my repair services or for the games I sell (but I will say flippers do drag up the value of games. A decent working EM selling for $1,000 is now a solid deal in today's market)

I don't care about people flipping NIB or barely played games. They're preying on gullible people who fall for the hype train. If you're patient just about any newer game will come up for a reasonable price. People take care of these things like babies now and Stern alone is cranking out several thousand new machines a year.
