Quoted from ToddSonOfOdin:The phrase “bolted to the floor” needs to die. I see so many people say it for games they’ve owned less than a year and just chuckle. Kudos to those in this thread who admitted they used it and then sold.
I was definitely one of those, swore that all my Elvira pins were bolted to the floor. Then I sold all three of them. At the end of the day they are games, and while fun other more fun things eventually replace them. I know I made the right move as when I recently went to the Museum of Pinball I saw many of the old games I used to own and yet didn't play any of them. There's just so much other pinball out there to play.
One ritual I do when I sell a game is remove the glass and manually do everything that can be done in the game the night before the new buyer picks it up. That way I've seen everything it has to offer, a closure of sorts.
