This market is steadily becoming over saturated. Crazy high prices especially for NIB games are unsustainable. The 3 machines in my collection are here to stay, and I'm prepared for a downturn if/when it happens.

Quoted from Tranquilize:With the current cost of machines, they might break even on them after several years, that is, if they aren’t splitting and do their own maintenance and repairs.
There is a GB on location that made almost $24k in 3 years. I doubt the maintenance/time down was even an issue. Granted, it's in a busy area, and it was a popular title also in a known popular pinball location.
Quoted from 27dnast:A pinball machine made $24,000 in 3 years?!?
Yes sir. That is not a misprint.
*Edit: It's actually $25k*
Quoted from whitey:A stern Pinball made 25K dollars in 3 years ? How many
playfields, boards, coils did it go through?
Original play field. Only required general maintenance. No
catastrophic failures. Maybe a board failure here or there.
Can't say with authority about the boards that failed or
didn't.
