There are no IM's for sale on eBay, Mr pinball classifieds or here, there is a demand and no supply that is why market prices for used games stands as it does.

Quoted from Aurich:

But is that demand 10-20 people on Pinside who really love the game? Or actually 500 people who want it?
Remember, this is the stripped down budget title that got a shit reception. Like a cult classic film people kind of discovered it later, and now it's hot with a certain kind of player. You have to be careful to not confuse a vocal minority with big demand though.
I obviously don't know, but I suspect that outside that small group who loves it (and I get why) that the more general public response would be "why are you making your cheap ass title again?". With an "old" license too, it's not current to the films or franchise. Moving 500 might be difficult.

Do I think demand would sell 500 units, yes. Distributors would definitely agree. Would be nice if JJ would chime in (think he is the largest distro on pinside volume wise). Price this the same as a pro like Metallica or Star Trek, home use sales would be an easy 200 at that price (more than just the 20 or so on here that you hear from), route sales would be close to the same. This is an attractive game to look at, quick ball times, with more movies on way with RDJ as IM, I think it keeps good route appeal.

100 for overseas.
