Anti flipper fervor is always whipped up by whiners who have no idea how to get a good deal, and/or are too lazy to do the work so called “flippers” do to make it happen.

The idea that games are just falling into “flippers’” laps like manna from heaven is ridiculous. People have no idea the actual work that goes into most of these “I can flip this for quick money!” Deals.

Most of these games would never see the light of day on the market if it weren’t for the work done by these people. They increase supply so I don’t see how they raise prices; if anything they help keep prices in check by continually unearthing fresh product for you vultures!!

Pinball has always been a hobby that rewards legwork, relationships, and the ability to act quick and move games out of twisty basements and up stairs. “Flippers” generally earn every cent of their vig and all you lazy entitled noobs should be grateful they are scrounging up these games for you to overpay for.

The thing that gets lost in the twice annual thread flipper shuffle is that a true “flipper” is generally selling a game at low market value. The whole point of flippers is to sell a game quickly. Whenever I’ve “flipped” a game, the buyer got a good deal.

Maybe not as good a deal as I got but that’s tough titty

That’s the whole point. If I have to store a game for a year to squeeze max value out of it, it’s not a “flip.”
