It does look like a good buy, but it is probably more indicative of buyer's financial management than a sign of the wider economy.

Pinball buying habits always seems to move like they are on a financial rollercoaster. There will be a flood of purchases for a few weeks/months, then a drought even though the supply itself hasn't really changed.

Best option is to simply become a latter day Noah and recognise when the flood is about to roll in as it inevitably does. Or save up the inventory for the next rainy day.
