If you'll have the money in 20 months a 0% spending credit card is your cheapest option and the pin by end of quarter one.

Yes I would usually work like that but I already have a ton of credit sitting on interest free cards and so am juggling paying different cards off so I don’t get caught in that particular trap, maybe I should just wait for another year until I am in a better position financially..but it’s hard when these things keep going up by £500…if it was a £50 or even £100 increase each time then it would be easier to swallow.

Part of me hopes it’s gonna be like the housing market and the **** eventually falls out of it because prices are just stupid, there seems to be no poverty when it comes to pinball.

Running up debt is a dangerous game, sometimes you just have to accept you can't afford the particular item you want, or you sell/save until you can.

The way prices are going I'm not sure if I'll get another Pin, it gets to the point where it has to provide value for money for me. Of course the ever increasing prices mean you can get most of your outlay back, if not make a profit if/when you move it on.

Speaking of debt, that paddy power advert gets on my t1ts with the pikey’s
When the fun stops, stop.
But hey, set yourself some personal limits by going to Paddypower.com
A bit like telling an alcoholic to go to the boozer and make sure they put loads of coke in their Bacardi - 😂

Don't get me started on online 'casinos'. I HATE every advert with a vengeance. Disgusting business.
 
As for going into debt for a pinball machine... tricky one.
I would have to say that there are an increasing number of clubs around and a lot of members on here willing to have a mate over for a game of pinball and a beer. Owning one is nice but it isn't the only option if you like pinball.

Housing market is stronger than ever and we have been in a pandemic for the last 2 years. Material costs are up due to shortages but once those shortages ease up and supply returns to normal don’t expect those prices to come back down because they won’t.

I’m not convinced
The stock market is at an all time high
And a crash / recession imminent
I predict a massive Correction incoming soon
The markets are predicting spring / early summer for it to kick us all in the goolies
This will create a correction in everything from house prices to pinball

The housing market will fall at some point it always does, but then it always picks back up and climbs past the point from where it fell.

I’m doing a tonne of work for mates who are builders because they can’t keep up with the demand of work, they’ve never been busier and they are all saying the same thing that they don’t expect the current cost of materials to drop back down to pre covid prices if at all, why would they when they’ve never been so busy and glass production in a lot of places has caught up massively compared to July/august time last year yet the price hasn’t dropped.

Don’t get me wrong I would love prices to fall back to pre covid everything’s daft at the minute cost wise but I can’t see many dropping their prices once production is caught up, especially Stern.

The world is full of corruption and greed, makes me sick…don’t mean to sound morbid but i’m glad i’m older and not just starting off in life, feel worried for my child though the way things are going.

Im a national U.K. supplier to most of the blue chip house builder and contractors
I know only too well how materials have gone crazy over the last 12 months
This bubble will pop soon enough!
Watch this space I hope I’m wrong but don’t think I am

I’d bloody love you to be right Lee, how long in your estimations do you think until we see a burst and building materials drop? Asking as I hope to do a large extensions once I receive money I’m expecting from my separation.
 
Lumber futures.

went through the roof, crashed to pre pandemic levels, now going through the roof again. Back up 145% since summer lows.

as long as it lasts long enough for ctypto to see a blow off top to pay for a few pinball machines then its all good 😁

Played more of my GnR over the festive season. Just wow. It's a work of art.

I'm still rubbish at it though and haven't even cracked 5mil
 
Played this game in HMV Glasgow. Found the rules absolutely mind numbing. Didn`t help the upper right flipper stuck up when you hit the shot and the game was way too steep and air balls were all over the place. The cheap looking over the top leds did nothing for me and i cannot believe folk will SO much money for this rubbish.

Interesting… I thought Paisley Pinball had to remove the pinballs from HMV.
Looks like he’s got them back in there.

They'll hopefully come a point when casino advertising is viewed and treated in the same way as cigarette ads.
Any celeb endorsing them goes right down in my estimation though to be fair Keith Lemon was never very high on the list anyway :)
