![]() perhaps some of the really expensive pins will loose SOME money but i dont see the whole market tanking. I wonder what make you guys think there is going to be a "market correction". i think people are looking for better entertainment then what is offered in modern video games and TV (i literally watch NO TV. pinball on the other hand is a game that requires great skill to play well and does not involve any violence. i have a 3 year old son and i dont want that nonsense in my house. ![]() I do think the resurgence of pinball is partially due to the fact that people are sick and tired of call of duty and other repeat titles with excessive violence. i could be wrong, in way i do wish those games would come down as i would buy an attack from mars in a minute if it was more affordable. i just dont think a pinball machine is worth that kind of money, i dont think those games will maintain that value (in my opinion). i just dont think games like attack from mars, mid-evil madness or catcus canyon are going to be able to maintain $10k values. otherwise i think its a fairly safe to say the value of the average $1-3K pin is not going to tank. If the economy gets really really bad, great depression style nothing will be worth anything anymore because money will no longer have any value. that's what gets people started, they play wizard of oz or star trek on location and decide to buy an older pin because that's what they can afford. there are companies currently making state of the art games, extremely high quality, high tech and fun to play. the game has survived several ups and downs, i would speculate that its not going anywhere. i have gone to the locally pool hall where they have 6 machines and i have seen teenagers playing them. its a try before you buy experience i think, an education if you will. i really only play pinball arcade to see what pins are out there and what i might possibly want to buy. why play something on computer if i have real machines to play. I always liked pinball arcade on the PC but honestly i dont really play it too much now that i have real pins. gee i just think buying a new star trek pin might not be such a bad investment after all, lol. ![]() i think thats awesome then someone else gets to do the same thing. i have fun with my pins and i can get my money out of them when im done with them. i like to have fun but i also like to get money back out of what i bought when im done with it. i also have a mortgage, a child, food, a wife that's been out of work, credit card bill, car insurance, ect ect. Of course i have a job i make $18.50 per hour. they have both been payed for for several years. the bonneville and the cavalier were both less then 2 grand and both of them came from florida, they might be old but no rust. the gtp was the most expensive car i own at $3,500. i have a 1996 pontiac bonneville, a 1991 cavalier convertible, and a 2000 grand prix gtp. 20k for a chevy cruze that rapidly looses value. i would never waste my money on a new car. now, if only i still had that original Nintendo from 1985, that would be worth something.Īs far as money i guess you guys dont know what i tight-wad i am, lol. consoles are just the chinese ripping us off. i have more fun with my pinball machines anyways. i wont be buying a next generation anything. on the pc i always like the company of heroes. i bought it to play forza and i will say that was excellent. i never really played the 360 that much anyways. real life, tangible pinball machines are a much, much better investment. if the buying public ever figures this out and turns to pinball machines as I did they are done. pinball is a much better investment and while the machines cost more to buy up front they are cheaper in the long run as you can get nearly all of your money back and maybe even might make a profit. ![]() think i will ever buy a console ever again. you mean to tell me this thing lost 80%+ of its value in 4 years. i dont want trade in credits, i wanted cash to help fund some LED's in some of my pins and i was hoping i would at least get $75-$100. they told me it was only worth $40-$50 in "trade in" credits. i bought an xbox 360 4 years ago, i called gamestop today because i wanted to get as much as i can out of the stupid thing. i can buy a pinball machine, play it for as long as i want and sell it in the future for what i payed for it or more so long as i maintain it. first of all the content really isnt that great, how many times can you rehash call of duty? beyond that as an investment they really are terrible. i will no longer purchase a sony or microsoft gaming product. i just want to say im DONE with consoles and i mean DONE.
