    Quoted from roc-noc:

    I don't get this thinking. Anybody who expects you to sell them for what you paid for them is an idiot.
    I paid $7800 for my MM 2 years ago. The guy I bought it from paid $500 for it at an auction 5 years before. I didn't feel buyers remorse. I felt good for him. Now I feel good for me. It is worth about 12K if I sold it today. But it is not going anywhere.

    Agree 100%, unfortunately there are a lot of idiots in this hobby though.

    It is amazing how much people change when money is involved in their decision making process.

    My best deal? Not financial at all- picking up a completely dead LW3 in 1999 off of Ebay for $300.... That was my first pin, and it took me 6 months to even get it to boot (it had major problems with every single board). I can still remember getting that thing to come to life and the rush I felt....

    As far as remorse....None.... It's only pinball...
