Stern's new warehouse

[Pin-Balls]

I enjoyed sterns video showing the new warehouse they moved into, but I'm wondering if it was a mistake. I'm guessing it was based on demand and constant price gouging over the past few years, but it looks like the pinball community is saturated with so many choices now, used/new and different manufactures plus most are feed up the those price increases. Hopefully a new shinny building and sales that are starting to slump will translate to lower prices.

My thoughts as well. Seems like they may be overextending based on the last few years demand. That demand is definitely not there anymore.

Ya hopefully they feel a pinch and need to put games on sale, but new base price likely won’t change and is here to stay for all new releases. Just like cars the MSRP is their price but that does not mean sales don’t occur when things are not moving and as games are no longer the newest and greatest releases. High overhead hopefully means more pressure for sales discounts more frequently for us buyers in the future.

I've bought quite a few NIBs over the years. No more unboxing at these prices.

My understanding is Stern was paid to move by a tech company that wanted their old location because of the proximity to fiber internet lines. Stern also apparently got a pretty sweet deal on this larger facility.

I think it was the Loser Kid guys that talked about it way back when.
