What's up with all the "only opened two years ago" machine..

Hi all! Is it just me, or are there all of a sudden a bunch of NIB
until just two years ago games from the late '80s - early '90s showing
up. Do you guys think these are those "famed" missing pins from that
bankruptucy thing that happened a long time ago? I know there was talk
about this a few months ago (I guess the statute of limitations
recently would have expired?) I just don't understand. Are there
really that many people that buy games, and then leave them NIB for
over a decade? I could see maybe one or two, but we've seen this NIB
until only two years ago a few times in the past week or so. I
wouldn't be able to stand LOOKING at the box just sitting there,
knowing there is a pin in there WAITING to be played. What do all you
think? Are we going to see the market flooded with these "NIB" late
model games? Do you think these are those "famed" machines that turned
up missing?

Pinlicious,
It was just surprising to me to see yet another unopened machine
go up for sale in such a short time. Besides, it was a nice change of
topics. My other conspiracy theory is that you found a way to
"hack" games to put in high scores. You'll have to prove me wrong on
that one in person. Maybe on the quarter machines at PAPA 8? I'd love
some heads-up competition!

-Al

In reference to a previous thread, is Koz afraid of getting his ass
kicked at PAPA 8? ;-)
