Quoted from Hazoff:Cause its a game and EM's are no where near as fun as Solid States and SS aren't as good as 90's DMDs etc.
Very few collectors are buying based on rarity and age. U build a collection of pins based on what's fun to play.
100%. Problem with pins are they are extremely large, difficult to move, and require maintenance. Few are going to bother with that and if you are, you want something you are going to play and enjoy.
Quoted from Elvishasleft:pinball only got fun around the early 90s for allot of people... even as a kid I thought most 70s and 80s pins were a snooze.
I stuck to arcade games... my dads bowling alley must have had 15 pins from the 70s I rarely if ever put a quarter in any of them.
I worked in arcades as a teenager in the late 80's. I could play anything for free but rarely played pins. Just wasn't too interesting compared to all the video games. It wasn't until the the early 90's when pins started having recognizable themes and interactive toys that I started to get interested.
