I found that they would budge quite a bit off of msrp when I bought my first NIB from SB and even more on the second.

I've bought more than one NIB pin, so I'm a repeat customer, therefore I have some first hand
experience of what I'm talking about. I can tell you my second NIB was cheaper than the first
even though MSRP had gone up since the first purchase.

How many NIB pins have you bought?

Are you a repeat customer?

You must be since you seem to be so sure that there is no wiggle room in the price.

Otherwise I'm not sure why you would comment?

This is how rumours and incorrect information is spread.

I also believe that the title and the timing has a lot to do with the price.

I bought a first run Spiderman right after the software finally got completed.
Before the software was completed it wasn't a highly regarded game and my
particular game had sat at SB for a long time so I'm sure they were more flexible
on the price. Once the software was solidified the game became more popular
and the price went up and they ran it several times afterwards.

Same timing when I bought Tron, it wasn't exactly loved upon release.

Any way, just my 2 cents……. I mean nickel.

Watch it pop back up for $7K with the ad stating, last one sold for $9K.

Remember, at that price it won't last long, so be quick to act if you want to beat me to that deal.

There was no Tron Premium. Only LE and Pro.

Really? That's what you took from his post?

This 1000x over.

The fact that the games have skyrocketed in value fairly recently has done nothing but attract people that are more
interested in "making a profit", instead of actually playing and enjoying the games.

It's almost mind blowing to them that others would be happy if the values were stable or went down slightly over time.

The fact that they can't even wrap their head around that concept says it all.

It's a hobby, the value for me is in the enjoyment I get from playing the games, not speculating if I can make a few bucks off them.

It was once about getting together with buddies and enjoying the actual game. Now it's more about trying to squeeze every last
cent out of each sale, landing the one whale who doesn't care that they're being gouged (because they're loaded) and then brag online
about how much you made off the sale.

I guess for $7000 it's too much to expect new flipper rubbers on a 'recently cleaned" game.

Took the time to take off the flipper rubbers and rotate them so the dirt and wear is on the back of the flipper, front and center in the one picture.

Damm, at least give them a wipe and turn them inside out.

Good way to identify someone who has zero idea about communism, they make comments like the previous poster.
