We pay way too much for our pins.  Even though they have come down a little at the moment they are still expensive. 

I predict that all prices on pins in Australia will plummet in the next 5-10 years.  Lets face it most (not all) collectors are over 35++. Most (not all) under this age couldnt give a stuff about pinball.  Eventually all us old farts or our kids when were gone will end up flooding the Australian market with pins as we die or downsize.  So there will be a shit load of pins on ebay and no one will want them.

This is a fact....

I know some of you will think Im full of crap, but trust me this will happen. 

I cannot disagree with your thoughts, but I give you this..

This EXACT scenario happened 20 years - except worse. No one wanted pinballs. KISS pins for $200 anyone ? You couldn't give them away..

30 years before that (maybe earlier) - same thing - They were outlawed. No one wanted pins.

The younger generation are not exposed to pinball, but if they were, different story.

Pinball demand VS supply and popularity is cyclical. History has proved this.
