Yeah pinball people are something else, take PBJ for example.

A whole lot of them are only children who never married themselves, though... in fact I don't know all that many pinball collectors that have kids.

No, but there seem to be two levels of guys in this hobby... the ones who did get married, but had no kids... and the guys who didn't get married either... and the latter is harder to deal with than the former for sure.

The type that want your machines for $100 but want $2000 for their own - and will hem and haw over a deal for months.

That opinion has no relevance to how having no kids affects hobby negotiations, though.  Can't tell you how many guys I have tried to deal with in this hobby that seem to think the world revolves around their whim.  They'll hem and haw on a deal for months when you want to sell, then when they finally decide, the deal has to happen NOW NOW NOW or you're flamed every way possible.  These guys consistently have no kids - the guys with kids are waaay easier for me to deal with since they actually get what that lifestyle schedule is like.

I agree 100%, Chad. You're a few hours late getting back on an email or sending over pics and they're ready to crucify you publicly and proclaim that nobody should ever do business with you despite the fact that it took them 3 weeks of back and forth emailing to settle on a price with you. The guys with kids are always like, "no problem, man. I know life steps in and interferes with hobbies all the time."
