Quoted from Sinestro:Well, when you outsell the competition 10-1......there's really nothing else you need to back it up.
said every industry giant and their hysterical fanboys immediately prior to competitors entering the market and devouring them.
Quoted from Sinestro:Good luck.
If history is any indication, you're right, they'll need it.
Wonder is their hubris blinds them to the millions they've lost to new market entrants over the last couple years. Hope not. Would like to start buying their products again.
Quoted from jwilson:It's only a collectable to a tiny, rabid fanbase.
Incorrect.
More than half of the pins they sell today go into home use only environments.
Quoted from jwilson:One pinball in a "Man Cave" isn't it being a collectible. That's where real collectors have gotten their project games from for decades.
huh?
Quoted from jwilson:A single pinball machine that sits in the corner of the basement rec room doesn't count as a collectable. The guy who buys it doesn't care about resale value, or maintaining it, or anything. He's not a collector.
Perhaps. I have no idea what % of pins are sold to one time only home buyers.
As more meaningful purchasing options become available they likely google 'is stern or Jersey jack a better pinball machine to buy' before they drop $10-15K.
You'd hope that Stern would understand what the results look like when they do that.
Quoted from jwilson:In my experience, the guys who buy the one-off just go to a gameroom store and buy whatever is there. If there's more than one pinball machine, they buy the theme they like or the one with the brightest lights.

But there's no way to know what percentage of Sterns sales go to people that drop $10-15K on a pinball by walking into a store and pointing.
