0 in, 0 out. However, with the lock downs, I've had time and money to do some upgrades and maintenance to several of my machines. Currently working on upgrading the playfield insert lighting to leds on some classic Bally ss games.

Bought:
Goldeneye

This thread is a killer. I just figured out what I bought this year and it's WAY too much... These were all paid for, still waiting to get some delivered.
Purchased - 16
Strikes 'N Spares, POTCLE, SThLE, TNA, ACNC, SWE1, BK2K, BBB, TBL, Evel Knievel, Tommy, Hurricane, R&M, DW, Lost in Space, EBD
Sold - 0
I also bought four jukeboxes; AMi G-200, AMi J-200, Wurlitzer 1800 and a Wurlitzer 2304
Zero in, zero out in 2020.
i *was* finally able to finish my Fathom uber-restore. It may be first to go next year...

Any pics or stories of your Fathom restoration on Pinside?
sold 8 and bought 5 including a GNR LE still on order.
I moved in a different direction this year of "less quantity - more rarity and cost per machine" I guess. When you get the call from Melissa that your Big Lebowski is ready to ship and are staring down the barrel of a 12,500 invoice, you have to make some very quick decisions to liquidate. That and GNR is mindblowing and a must-have so I sold a few more to raise cash for that.
Perhaps at some point the rubber band will stretch the other way and I'll be sick of having a small collection of high dollar gems and rather have a bunch of C-List DMD games. Am I the only one who goes through cycles like that??
6 in. - JJPOTC, Metallica Premium, Meteor, Space Shuttle, Lights Camera Action!, and Title Fight.
1 out. - Metallica Pro.
This is the most games I have brought in for the year in a long time. I even have a handful of games in storage right now, but there has just been more opportunity to get games around here in 2020.
9 in 7 out
In: tron (pro), Houdini, Batman 66, earthshaker, Eros one, royal guard, avengers infinity quest (premium), tmnt premium paid for but still waiting
Out: Flash Gordon, iron maiden pro, Rollergames, no fear, sorcerer, Spiderman, Aerosmith
Bought 0, traded 1, sold one. 2020 has been the worst pinball year with Covid 19.
I still need room so going to sell a few more.
I feel like this thread might be a trap so my wife will discover just how much I spent on this hobby...... I plead the 5th!

I've been collecting a long time and have a 'mature' collection. Sold off the games
that were the least interesting and left with 52. Hadn't bought a 'new' pin in many years
until this past year when a Lost World was added.

Excalibur
Bad Girls
I have had an eye out locally for them for several years and I some how managed to pick them up back to back.
Watched a WOZ Pinball trailer in March looking for entertainment for our basement I was finishing .Thought pinball was a 90s thing.Drove to Milwaukee purchased a WOZRR in April .This is where my brain stopped functioning .In June I purchased a IMDN prem in Elkhart IN 1/2 way between our home and camper .Then (brain 1/2 gone now )Told my 2 boys they can pick a pin they want .Took 12 year old in Oct out to New Jersey (stopped in NY ferry tour of liberty island )for a Family Guy .Then with the 25% remaining part of my brain I ordered a GnRLE that should be here within a month .Short ride for that as GAP is only an hour or so away .Now looking for a used DP for my 11 year old so we can take our bonding trip to even things out .Oh yeah brain hanging on by a thread now .Last but not least stern drops a LZ that I for one think is as classy looking pin as any out there ! What was I just talking about ? Who am I ? Who are all you ? 1+1=6 right ?

It was a pretty active year for my collection. I added a couple of "must have" games, traded and sold a few that were hard to let go of but needed to in order to get the pins I REALLY wanted. I also met a few really great pinheads that have become good friends! Thanks to Beaster

HMMM...Haven't sold anything since???? (Thinking 2013 to buy Met for Hubby)...As for 2020, not bought anything since Oct. 2019 (EHOH) but I am totally in for a LZ LE but it won't arrive till 2021...so 2020 is pretty much a bust as far as new toys for us!

Quoted from marioparty34:With 2020 closing fast, what's your pinball adds and removes for the year?
I added 9 pins and sold 4.
How active were you?
Hmm, good question. It was a slow year since I really like where my collection's at. Let's see...
Adds...
Torpedo Alley
Jurassic Park Pro
Star Trek Pro
Gone But Not Forgotten...
Ghostbusters Pro
Torpedo Alley
I had no intentions of selling Ghostbusters but I was made an offer that I couldn't refuse. getting that much for Ghostbusters allowed me to get Star Trek and Jurassic Park so it was a win-win.
