    I dont get attached to pins as keepers. There like visitors at my house but red carpet visitors that I take good care of until the day they leave. Similar to video games to me also when it comes to time to sell, once i beat them i never play them or if there is a defect in the design i sell them quickly. Id sell all 4 of my games for $27000 cash right now no questions asked, not that i want to but i would if somebody offered it to me. why not sell?

    Quoted from Honch:

    I never had a lot of games, but I regret selling the handful of pins I have let go (especially my TFTC). I won't make that mistake again. The four I have left will most likely ride with me till death. The only game that is more of a keeper than my pins is my Haunted House, gun game. It literally took me years to find one in nice working condition and I don't think I'd ever find another in that kind of shape.
    I figure my grandkids can figure out what to do with these games when I'm dead.

    Only game i regret selling was MMr LE. If I could own only 1 pin that would be it.

    Really I have just as much or sometimes more fun playing $50 video games with my kids. We just beat It takes Two on PS5 and it was a total blast!!!
