Watch barcades, now popular, but wait when people realize that for the amount of money you put in a pin, you can have a couple of extra drinks. Some places in belgium ask 1.5€/3ball game... The 5-6k pin must be payed.

So true, my dad's mom had a "browncafe" in the middle of Antwerp. Could buy a TAF in 1992-1993 for 12000bfr - > around !300Euros ! Didn't bought since it was used trash and customers wanted new new new
Quoted from cudabee:Another problem was the older pinballs traded in for new ones were worth nothing even if they were 3 years old. There was no home market at all and almost no market for second hand pins.That made it nearly impossible to make it profitable in those days.
It was a pile of problems for pinball that killed it, at least here in the Netherlands.
