We live in a global marketplace - that's the reality.
I'm buying books on the internet, delivered to my door for $12.83 each that cost $18 to $24 each in a shop here (or add another $6 for postage).
I'm just happy with my pins, no matter how much their price has risen or fallen.
If I was a pinball investor or had my life savings tied up in them, it might be a different story.
