    Ok am I the only one? Let me start by saying I have 26 pins already. And about 14 need shopped and some work. But every time I go drop off games or pick up something if I see a pin there it’s like a must have. Am I the only one that does this? And to make matters worse. I can’t stop it. Yes most are really good deals. Or close to being a good deal. Think I need Pinball anonymous or something.

    Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

    Maybe try selling some instead of hoarding too many projects!
    You’ll burn yourself out buying projects that you’ll never get to.
    Plenty of others could work on them.
    I trimmed down any others I didn’t need and regrouped to my main focus.
    Also it would save you from parting out so many games needlessly as many of them could have easily been saved by people with more space and less projects.

    I have only parted out a slugfest. And the sad thing is I still have almost all the parts here. Just don’t have the time to ship them. Or maybe I will find a good cabinet. But you are correct. I honestly can’t stop buying. And I just don’t understand why.

    This would make my skin crawl. Haha.

    Well keep this in mind. Most of my games are in storage. Only have 2 at the house Metallica and theatre. But only theatre is set up to play.

    Quoted from chuckwurt:

    This would also make my skin crawl. Unless I owned a location and needed to have all these games, I would only have the amount of games I could fit and have setup in my game room working.

    Well I have some on location. But most in storage. And yes I sell some. But mostly buy.

    Quoted from PinballManiac40:

    26? And yet your collection list only shows one. Are they moving in and out that fast that you can't keep it updated?

    I updated my list of pins. I think I still have 3 more. Ugh

    And I’m guilt of this. I work on the side for a bunch of operators. So I guess that gives me an edge. But I just sold one! Hope I don’t go through withdrawals.
