Notable quotes

“I just feel like this could be one of the biggest years for pinball in Australia we've got extra expos going this year...I just feel like more people are going Tee'd Off come into the hobby”
Jarrod
“in two days total, you've got 16 machines...Yep. 16. 16. And the list just keeps going on.”
Jarrod
“I feel like there's room for them to drop now because people need to sell these machines, obviously, and the only way they're going to do that is by dropping prices.”
Jarrod
“my prediction is that there will be another price increase for the new in-box machines. Across the board, regardless of whose they are...I believe there'll be another $250, $350 add-on top sometime this year”
Matt
“with all the talk about Pokemon coming out, which wasn't announced still, which is quite surprising, with the Nintendo era, and we've supposedly Sonic in the rumour, being Sega. I'm seeing a little bit of a trend here. So I can only imagine Mario will be a machine”
Matt
“It'd be amazing...Huge, mate. Huge, you know. The amount of number one hits he had...The King of Pop.”
Jarrod (discussing Michael Jackson prediction)
“I was just going Tee'd Off open up Facebook quickly and have a look at...the market is flooded. We're pinball flooded.”
Jarrod
“I look at that and then I look at what I'm trying to sell with my Game of Thrones Premium Edition in amongst all of that they're just getting lost”
Jarrod
