Been noticing a few of the rare cabinets going for 5-6k. Does everyone think in the next 10 years that the cabinets will even go higher then ever before. Is it worth hoarding as many as possible. Never really seen a big jump yet only on a few
bobbyb13:
While those of us who have the greatest nostalgia for these things conti ue to have time and $$ to devote to them the prices will continue to rise overall.
Once we all start dying and nobody gives a crap anymore the values will tank.

Happens in every collector hobby.
leapinlew:
Agree with Bobby. I'm pretty pessimistic about it and think we are at or past the nostalgic wave of peak prices.
bobbyb13:
Absolutely Lew.
We are a small cross section of the video gaming community- and not getting younger- although no need to be pessimistic!

I started on this fiasco because I loved playing these games as a kid and recently found that I like restoring, repairing, designing, building, etc the machines too.

If you're doin this thing mytymaus then do it for the love!
Making money off original cabs is tricky-
And parasitic to most around here.
Mike A:
I think you should definitely hoard as many 6 thousand dollar cabs as you can.
