It's not a recession; it's supply and demand. Pinball died in the 90s because of crazy supply and little demand. We are now heading toward crazy supply, with Stern, jjp, spooky, Chicago, American and deep root. Supply is crushing demand, and this can be seen online. When I started only 5 years ago, I had to babysit the web all day to even have a chance at buying a decent pin. Now, there are 25 for sale, some of them hot titles. Prices are still high, but I see the writing on the wall. Supply is about to jump, and by the laws of economics, prices will come down. Rarity will still help with older games.
