Quoted from pinstyle:
I agree Beatmaster, the "demand" thing is total bull. NIB riseing prices have more to do with average pin sale price increase than this speculated "demand."

And with people continuing to buy NIB machines at these prices sight unseen they will continue to keep increasing NIB prices. It's amazing how people bitch and moan about the NIB pricing yet every new game nearly sells out. I called it quits after Xmen and am done buying NIB and contributing to the cause. Stern and JJP are laughing all the way to the bank.

Quoted from coasterguy:
Just like everything else in life. Prices will continue to rise.
I read that milk could be $7 in 2013. I had a friend say today that gas in Chicago was "Cheap" at $3.54. A latte is $4.00 + and if you add a pumpkin scone your at $7.00 for a snack.
2 fried shrimp dinner and a pint of custard at Culvers yesterday was $30
Disney tickets went up again this year. $89 for a one day ticket. Then $4.00 for bottled water.
I was in NYC for a conference and treated two friends to 4 total drinks and two appetizers in a lobby of a nice hotel. $126.00 later we went to dinner.
How much was Milk or Gas when MM was shipping NIB and how much was it?
Have your priced new cars lately?
2013 Ford Escape can top out at $38,700. FORD Escape.... yes they are nice but......
Same story, same thread. Pin prices will not go down or change EVER> The only thing that will change unfortunately is the collectors and buyers.
Buy them now, hold onto them.
Someday this hobby may price me out I suspect.

While I agree that a lot of the items you mention increase that is expected with inflation, however it was only a few years ago NIB Stern games like SM/LOTR were mid 3K's. Plot all of these price increases as percentages over the past ten years and compare it to NIB pinball pricing. I think they will have very different curves.
