Quoted from 27dnast:Question: Why?
Trons come up for sale. They’re very findable.
Why?
1. Stern is a BUSINESS. They will make money. That's why they do what they do.
2. Demand for them exceeds available supply
3. Pinball enthusiasts would rather buy a new one than one that's been played 5,000 times but happens to only be a few dollars cheaper.
