I agree, but I don't think this is only a recent thing. I know guys years ago who would buy high end cars, even a new bentleigh and garage the things. When they heard I put nearly 500k on a bmw in no time from new they couldn't believe my stupidity. I answered them by saying I bought it to be driven and I enjoyed driving it. Why should I pay so much and just look at and then sell it for stuff all less for someone to enjoy it.

I don't buy new cars anymore because of such dicks. I now can enjoy their depreciation.

I think the same goes for such pinball collectors. Good luck to the second owners of the games.
