Take the hint beelzeboob Quoted from DennisDodel:Someone should open a Pinball Retirement Community.
Casa De o-din
Quoted from Whysnow:Just a trend I am noticing... Many of the people noting they may be getting out in the future, have very 1 dimensional collections IMO.
I almost typed a big thing aboot just this topic. For me it's not even the collection aspect, it's the mindset I can't understand.
If people don;t like EMs whatever I've been there that makes a little more sense...but the constant tunnel vision idea people of have of what they can like is so bizarre. "I don't like Widebody machines," "Watching the animations kills the flow," "i only like mode based games..." Just the weirdest shit.
Quoted from Rarehero:Due to the GB debacle, Dutch situation, and the general state of fuckery & pricing in the new sector of pinball,..
It's mostly just a lot of bickering and sycophant posting these days...
Wait til you have a kid 
Hey that's my line 
Quoted from pezpunk:Well, some of you will be annoyed to know i don't see myself *ever* leaving pinball.
You play pinball? I thought you're just here for political horseshit? 
<-- that's a joke everyone knows i love Pez 
Quoted from Gryszzz:FUCKIN SERIOUS BUSINESS.
Was that the Carry On with Young?
I doubted it because all their good shit is without him. But lets take a look online and the results are "Fun.: Carry On [OFFICIAL VIDEO] - YouTube" bwahwahahaha oh man gettin old...this happens all the time now.
Quoted from Gryszzz:FUCKIN SERIOUS BUSINESS.
Everything could use a little more Neil Young really.
You know what doesn't? It's called :"Treetop Flyer" tough tits...do some research!
Quoted from Rarehero:Even the "cheap" games are $2000-4000 these days...which, ya know....isn't cheap!
You're not buying games on Pinside are you?
I picked up my Royal Flush for a couple hundy not too long ago...sold a Far Out for handful of hundys.
EDIT:
Quoted from Rarehero:I just got Splatoon 2 for $60.
"Cheap" pinball is still expensive to most people.
I get your obsessed with videa games now, but pinball cheap insn't that expensive for pinball people. Or hell moderate pricing.
Quoted from Nexyss:How much does it cost to replace the boards in new pins?
The boards are like 3-400+. MANY of them have had to be replaced...but of course they are all under warranty so it's not a massive deal....Buuuuut it may be some day and people are worried aboot it.
This is of course a massive change from years and years of being able to fix a board for under $100 
Quoted from Nexyss:So, the same price as replacement boards for all the other pins?
I have purchased a few Rottendog boards over the years, and I think they were around $300.
Not that simple at all.
The few Rottendog boards you purchased we all fixed our boards for $2; see what I mean?
And the Node boards are super small and SMD shiz that isn't as easy for everyone to deal with.
Are they backward compatible or not (Not form GB to GOT I've been told)? Will they be readily available? Will a rottendog type substitute be available? Rottendog board is the entire driver board...node board is just a node, only deals with ahndfull of lights or switches etc etc etc
Quoted from Nexyss:People worry about crazy stuff sometimes. I might worry about it if they were $1500 to replace, but not if they are the same price as boards I have already replaced.
Ok money bags good for you.
Quoted from Rarehero:My problem with people who say Pinside is just "negativity", is that it discounts opinions as being nothing but something from curmudgeons to be shrugged off, rather than valid opinions based on experience.
Well everyone has to travel the righteous happy path to the realit...er "the negative" side of Pinside.
Even you were there once sir...you were completely positive prices weren't going to increase when LCDs came into the picture. Every time you could you peppered that fact into the conversation "cheaper to do them than DMDs.." etc etc and now prices are too high for you.
Quoted from Rarehero:My take was more that prices don't HAVE to increase because of LCDs...if they did, well...that's cuz as customers we're here for the fleecing. Is Aero Pro more than GB Pro?
Yeah that's what I meant... The positive outlook like they weren't going to raise prices when of course they would.
It was when it came out... I'm sure they just bumped up both prices 
although of course BM66 came first to soften the blow
