I'm assuming you are a Star Trek fan since you currently have the Bally version, and the Stern version is solid and fun to play, and the Premium is a better looking and playing game than the pro version. Personally, if I had to go down to one machine, I'm not sure this is the one I would keep.

As for the distributor you are buying from, Automated Services (pinballs.com) is VERY solid and can be relied on to take care of any issues that come up. I've personally purchased several of my NIB machines from them.

Quoted from Eric_S:

Star Trek premium is a great game. $7700 seems a bit high and $250 for a project Bally Star Trek seems a bit low. $7K total including shipping would probably be reasonable, at least to me.

I was thinking this as well, but it gets really tricky when you are pricing trades. $7700 is their list price for this, but since they only have one they may not be willing to move off the price.

They will probably fix your old machine and sell it for somewhere in the $1250 neighborhood, or if its in bad shape part it out. If the backglass itself is in pristine condition, you can probably get $250 just for the glass.

Quoted from Scottwashere:

I am purchasing from pinballs.com for $7700 including shipping.

Unless you are dead set on a NIB machine, there is a Star Trek LE out there for close to $1500 less. https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/99729

Room for one...lol

True story...

When I purchased my first pinball machine, a NIB LOTR and the one I still own, the distributor I purchased it from had asked how many machines I had and I told him this is my first machine. He then asked how many I was looking to get for my collection, bewildered by his question I asked him "why I would ever need more than one?" ... knowingly, all he said was "you'll see."
