One year ownership first pin

[Dotteddown]

Morning,
We have had our paragon one year now and lately we have not played it as much.
Do you guys sell your pins on the replace or look to swap for another which I’d imagine is hard !
I’d be reluctant to part with it now after the work I done to get her running nice.
What to do !!

Life’s too short not to sample the delights other pinballs have to offer.
You may have heard the words “it’s a keeper” “my grail pin” and the often phrased chestnut “I’ll be buried in it”
Well I used to think that way and some of my pins I had over 20yr but are no longer in my lineup.
I’ve been in the hobby well over 30yr now and in that time I’ve had well over a hundred come and go now and enjoyed 90% of them while here. However they have never been as good when I have revisited them and every year another few are released making my tick list an impossible task.
I’ve no regrets moving a pin on as it gives someone else the chance to enjoy what it had to offer and the times I’ve revisited the ones I’ve let go has never been the same as usually don’t hang around either.
I’ve struggled getting trades here but I do keep trying so I’d suggest hang onto it until something crops up to buy then sell yours if no trades coming forward.

No game is irreplaceable. If you sell your Paragon and regret it, you will be able to find another (or even ask the buy for first dibs if they sell)
Sell it and get a new game

I'd offer a trade first and see how that goes. It worked for me recently.

I think the worst thing would be to have no pin at all so at least line up it's replacement. The easy part will be selling the Paragon because it's one of the best of that era, the hard part is identifying and finding the new one so maybe do that first.

I'd be surprised if you don't have some offers today based on this thread alone.

Thankyou all some very good points taken there
I’ve already had some DMs sowing interest! Unbelievable
