I think 2 in and 0 out.
Buying has really slowed down.
My friend talked me out of selling something yesterday too. Thanks Jeff
In:
•Fish Tales right in the beginning of the year. Great start!
Nothing for 6 months till...
•Shaq Attaq and
•Truck Stop project bundle buy
Then 2 weeks later was gifted a •Buccaneer for the Saratoga Silverball Show. (Thanks @gmanrulz46!)
Then 2 more weeks later did 1 for 3 trade
WCS out for, •Party Animal, •Lady Luck, and •Fun-Fest
Then went to Pintastic a few weeks later and picked up a •Rapid Transit pre-war project and, •Big Hit (less a machine, more like just a playfield)
Then I picked up •Old Coney Island doing a pickup for a friend. Also got a head for my Mini Pool so added another complete game to the collection.
That was all within a 2 month timespan, then I cooled down for another 5 months, until last week, just got a •Silverball Mania for free, my first “free” game from a non-pinhead. (I bought a ton of stuff from them, so it was more like a bargain thrown in than a random free game. But still counts!)
Tl;dr final stats:
In: 11
Out: 1 (WCS)
Locations opened: 3
Locations closed: 1
Pins on location increase year over year: 6 (150% increase!)

Added a Jurassic Park premium, Bond LE, Lebowski and a Bally Vector and Mystic.. Sold a few EM's and solid states. My collection is always changing. Still waiting on Cactus Canyon LE.
If the rumors of Stern are true of Venom and Foo Fighters (both turds) in 2023 looks like this will be a first year in many that I won't be buying a Stern which is fine by me. I put my name down on a 2024 Dark Horse. Still have a few I want to sell as well as a ball bowler.
Only thing thus far interesting to me is Pulp Fiction coming in 2023.
First time in many years 0 in 0 out.
There still are 11 days left and I wouldn’t mind adding a game but with prices the way they are, it is not as easy to jump on in on a game without playing it.
I did that last year on AIQ premium and can see myself moving on from it in the near future.
My collection was pretty much set at 12 pins since 2016 and then I joined a local (South of Denver metro area) pinball group and low and behold I added the following 4 new pins this year.
Willy Wonka LE
Munsters LE
EHOH Premium
Bond 007 LE

10 in, 11 out.. Why do I still not have space? I have a few $ tho... ready to pounce.
Nothing all year until the last two weeks. My Rush Premium order from January suddenly got filled so I reluctantly let go of Funhouse in order to raise the funds. So long, Rudy, it's been a real 14 years but you just got too easy for me. You'll get played more than twice a year in your new home!
Pretty busy on the pinball and arcade side. I have a bunch of arcade game projects waiting for good weather. No wonder my back hurts!

In 2021 I chose to liquidate half of my collection in order to list my house and have fewer games to deal with. The games I kept got moved to friends' collections for the better part of the year. Our house sold in May and we broke ground on building a new home in June which was completed after Thanksgiving. Once in our new home I have been able to build up my collection again to where I want it to be. With prices being where they are at (especially NIB) I don't see myself buying or selling much in 2023.
2021 Out:
ACDC Premium
The Games
Sinbad
Diamond Lady
Eight Ball Champ
Custom Virtual Pinball
2022 In:
Chexx Bubble Hockey
Godzilla Pro
GNR LE
Star Wars Pro
