You know I don't like the sky high prices either; but, it's a sellers market right now. We are in an era where the demand is high and driving up prices. Classic machines are going up in value and we've got several manufacturers making new machines. Both of those wouldn't be happening if there wasn't demand.

The state of pinball in 2019 is pretty good.

Pull up the map here and you can see the growth. More locations and more people with more machines.

Demand is driving up the prices.

The real question is will demand hit a point where someone will swoop in and solve the supply problem via offering volume manufacturing at a price that satisfies the demand? In there a pin maker that can deliver a game in quantity that people want to purchase that sates the demand and takes pinball out of the boutique pricing it is now?

That is the real question.

But, as a fan of the medium - it's as good of time to be into pinball as there has been since the 90's.
