I disagree with your thoughts , each to there own I guess
Did you have a bad experience with your NIB pins ?

It seems you are unaware of the electronic protection built into the hardware and software of new pins - my advice, stay well away from a USA import machine

Know all about it , Gary shouted me Beer and we discussed it and talked and talked .
Yes I may loose a few bucks on some titles when I / if I sell them , that's no big deal to me . I buy the pins to play them and to enjoy my hobby and admire my minty line up, not to worry about there value to much .Mind you I think some have increased a little  
Drive a $60k car out of the showroom and see what its worth .  
Stern will always promote there local dealers and right fully so , Gary knows I chase NIB titles of particular pins , specially out of production titles .
