[FSPA] Saying Hello and asking for pinball advice

[iluvak9 .]

Well, because I am down to having space for only 3 or four machines (down
from my max at one point of 22 when I was in VA), I have implemented this
foolish rule that I am not able to switch back to (re-buy) any games I
already owned in the past (so no AFM for example).  Currently have a
Beatles (I'm on the love it side of the pinside love hate relationship with
this one) and will soon own a Star Trek Vengeance Premium.  Recently sold
both an Elvis and a Stern POTC.  So, have room for one or two more, but my
foolish rule makes it hard for me to find ones that I really want to own
and, just like is the case with less competitive pinball in this area, the
volume of used games available within less than four hours of Vegas is
miniscule compared to those available within less than four hours of the
FSPA area.
