[QUOTE="dtown8532, post: 165582, member: 320"] Hey Jared, you're absolutely right about the return on investment. Just look at a few of the people in this business. Tucky's been around a long time, has a long standing customer base and, as such, has money to pay real employees. Mike from Gameroom Collectibles seems stressed out all the time in his vids. You can tell he worries about the money. Ray doesn't because, whatever happens to that business, he's still got his long standing Wide Area Repair business which always seems busy. As far as the slutty WT "pinballers" (WTF does that mean?) go, I don't know what he's thinking there. Most guys that have a lot of money invested in pinball and are public about it are typically either independantly wealthy (Kevin Martin from PAPA) or they have a daytime job that funds their love of this hobby. There's a guy not to far from me that runs the Pinball Gallery. He's told me that the place doesn't make much, if any, profit. But, he has a well paying day job that helps fund it. A lotta times we b1tch about the ritch guy who has so much expendable income to afford 5k plus pinball machines but, without them, you won't see the games in public locations. Just don't become like Gene Cunningham who blew his family fortune on pinball and went bankrupt. [/QUOTE]
