Quoted from KingPinGames:I think it has more to due with the saturation of all the new games available (or soon to be available) that is driving secondary pricing down.
The games that are coming down are the games that had inflated prices that should not have been over the original price anyways. (IM, SM, AC/DC).
Quoted from hoby1:Don’t forget # plaque and cert. signed playfield, real mirrored backglass, and metal leg protectors
Good point....

There are players out there and then there are collectors out there. I should know. I'm a collector. This game would not be for a player. It would be for a collector.
I will say again, this game was made before Stern switched cabinet makers and playfield makers. There are no issues with either one.
Ok, I have been looking at this machine and could pay the 8500. My latest machines are typically LE (GB LE, Transformer LE) and have high end SM, etc. Also, I have seen the recent value go down (if I were to sell them today - which I am not). (Of course, this is a great time to buy people!)
I am personally struggling dishing out 1700 more for this machine vs 6800 for NIB. Ok, so maybe I spend another 200 on shaker, etc. The rest of the cosmetics just are not that great to get me there (agree it does have this things listed above, plus a topper).
My question - I do know Stern was doing something different with playfield and cabinets. Pinsiders - has this gotten better recently with SW or AS or ACDC VE premiums (most importantly). Someone mentioned that they were doing something different (to improve the quality) - looking to validate this - some facts.
FYI - either way - the latest ACDC premiums come with the SAM system still !
Also, the machine above looks great - only flaw would be that the main plastic window is a bit cloudy. And with the new HD glass - might be a so-so view. (Probably, me just being real picky on my machines).
Looks like they are adding brackets - like years ago.

Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:Price lowered to $8000. Anything less than that and I'll keep it.
WTF ...... that’s an insanely fantastic price!!!

You do realize there are some people that would give their left... oh never mind. GLWS!

Now just $1200 more than a premium- If I were in the market for an Ac/DC, this would be my choice without question.
-I've experienced the new cabinets problems first hand. Wood quality down substantially and change in process on new cabs. Instead of upgrading the wood and correcting the process, it appears they have just installed a bolt to keep them together(really)
-Current playfields, too many issues as of late to say the problems are corrected vs no issues on this one.
-Value-They won't make anymore LE's and supply will always be limited. Anytime there's demand on premiums, they'll remake.
-Cloudy plastic can be cleared up a bit with some elbow grease
-The drummer is missing from the VE. Not sure what that's worth, but I'd rather have the full band.

I thought they could not be removed?
Wow the HUO market is really spiraling down, I cant wait to rebuild the collection I just sold l.

They cannot, I just took some Novice 2 to mine and made a huge difference. The market did come down, but I think it bottomed. I had AS and GB for sale at great prices with not much action and right after I put pendings on them a bunch of people came forward wanting to buy. Same with my Rob Zombie.
It goes with the old saying
The pinball you looked at today, and want to think about until tomorrow, may be the same pinball someone else looked at yesterday and will BUY TODAY!!

Here are the differences between the VE Premium and the original (Not LE)...originals have the spring lock down bar, larger sub woofer (12" vs 10"), drummer is included in the artwork/ toy, wood back box. The VE has the removable lower play field window, new metal back box design with the angled DMD (reduces glare significantly). The graphics on the back box around the DMD, latch lock down bar, drummer is not in the game....
Got more interest at $8000. Also a few people asking questions. I'll just say this, first one to say they'll take it, gets it. Not the first to ask questions.
And yes, that price is firm. I'll keep it for anything less than that.

You should make them submit a video...
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:And again, I'm not interested in a trade. Gotta make room for a TNA coming this weekend.
Sounds like you should have been nicer to your kids and maybe they would have gotten you a bigger room at the old folks home.
Quoted from davijc02:Sounds like you should have been nicer to your kids and maybe they would have gotten you a bigger room at the old folks home.
Nice!! Speaking of kids, if this doesn't sell, it goes to one of their homes. One already has four games and the other three. I'll just sell one of theirs to make room for this one. They both love it.
Only 200 of these made so it's a genuine LE.
If I lived in same town I would be a buyer at $8000.
Way better than a premium.

Well that's extremely awesome of you! Hope you move it soon! I dream of the day that I can put a TNA in my game room. My Wife on the other hand wouldn't be nearly as happy. If your kids just outright refuse and you haven't found a buyer I'll store her for ya free of charge

thats what I would do....great idea!
Anyone interested in shipping...I've shipped dozens of restored games and living in MN, it always runs around $450, no matter where in the US.
Seriously thinking about doing this and selling my premium. Just trying to figure out if I want to go through the hassle.
It's a little disappointing that it's not a BK restoration.

I was thinking the same thing but by the time I sold my premium this will probably be long gone.
Quoted from jathomp22:I was thinking the same thing but by the time I sold my premium this will probably be long gone.
Difference is, I'd buy it first, then sell the other one. 
Quoted from beelzeboob:It's a little disappointing that it's not a BK restoration.
I did wipe it down, Boob.

Seems like a sensible decision to me!
Quoted from beelzeboob:Okay. I'll take it.
Bite me.
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:Game is sold.
Sorry, Boob.
What I thought someone said you had two, oh wait, those weren't LTBR machines... never mind. I am having all kinds of Bryan Kelly issues today. Congratulations on the sale.

Quoted from pinlawyer:Someone buy my fkn MB and I'll take it.
Sorry, Greg. Game is sold.
Quoted from dsuperbee:How many sheep would this have taken to purchase?
$8050 which includes shipping prep. Buyer didn't want the topper so I knocked off $200.
Now I'll soon have a Matt Mckee topper for sale.
Quoted from pinlawyer:Someone buy my fkn MB and I'll take it.
Ugggh. I came in here to see if I could buy this, ship it to you, and grab your MB.
Dammmmmiiiitttttt.
Like I said...batshit crazy. Unbelievable on crack in a crazy good way price. Congrats on the sale & to the new owner getting an insane deal.
Quoted from cpr9999:Did this sell?

Sorry, Boob.
