Me too. I wouldn't buy one becasue I find them repugnant; but I wish I had that much folding monies.

Honestly, it depends on when you get it. An in hand hot title is worth more than one you could get in 6 months or a year, and I don't know what the supply chain will look like next year. GZ has been a unique case as you still can't get a premium in stock (and I hope you are enjoying my old one, bank mod and all). I would also note that you can almost always get a better deal on a NIB or recent hot pin if you go cash or Trades +/- cash... like that Godzilla. There are lots of people out there that would rather trade than sell and pay with cash.

Also of note your old JP Prem got traded for a G&R LE delivered last week.

I think/hope the days of getting more than MSRP are over. With these recent increases across all manufacturers, it sure seems that way to me.

Until Stern cand drop ship new releases to all launch day paid in full customers by the time they launch their next game, there will be a premium for aleast some titles. If you look at games that sell for a premium over MSRP today, the one thing they have in common is that you can't walk into a dealer and buy it at MSRP.

The hype train appears to have derailed and this isn’t Godzilla. I doubt this game has the same kind of “scalping window” that we saw last year on select titles.

You should price it for what you paid for it - slap on an extra $1,000 if you want to test the waters but I think the days Of instant flipping games that are still in production for a sizable profit are over. You can already buy Bond LE “spots” for face value.

And of course, the market will soon be flooded with “in hand” bonds for sale which happens with every new title. That won’t help your path to riches either.

Eh, I’d just sell it for what you paid. If you got stuck with shipping, add it to the price. If taxes, add it. Or offer it as trade to trade down if you need some cash?!

Just don't by anything new in box for about a year and a half until things calm down. You can pick up a used model after that at a cheaper price....
It's easy as that.
This is just a hobby for a lot of people. If you break even or loose a little on a sale doesn't matter, it's just a hobby.
Not a retirement fund........

Msrp, no more, no less. It’s all it’s worth
