This is - by far - the nicest looking STTNG I've ever seen. Wish I was closer! Or Had space! or money !

Very nice. What kind of pop bumper caps are those?

That is very nice... you (or whoever buys it) should paint the cannons to fit in better with the custom ship paint jobs... they look way too bland by comparison.

Great looking game and a great seller

Love the purple!!!! Amazing game

Its gonna take either finding the one person with the same taste as you, or someone willing to spend a lot of time and money to undo all of that stuff to sell this.

The work itself looks well done, don't get me wrong, but many buyers will look at this and walk as it won't be their taste at all.

Uh, no. these mods are all tastefully done or legitimate upgrades such as colorDMD, LEDOCD, etc. It's not like he's hot glueing action figures to the play field.

The game looks great! Keep incrementing the price down and a buyer will emerge.

no, I said they are all well done, but tasteful is a very subjective thing. As stated unless he finds someone with is taste, its going to be a lot of money and effort to undo some of those changes. The armor is done well, but myself, and many others, might not like it on the game and would remove it. Someone else might want stainless, or a different color.

exactly.

I love this game. I don't understand why people don't value it as much as Williams IJ, MB,AF,etc. I got ripped off on my purchase. Yours is so much better. I'm spent $3000 to make mine better. I know I will never get my money back on it but I'm never getting rid of it unless I pass away of course.

I really like the armor color, but wish the gun handle were black... still out of my budget for the near future, but if I had the cash to spare I would definitely want this STNG over a lot of others I've seen.

While it is true the work is done very well I don't understand your statement that "many others" might not like it on the game. You can certainly speak for yourself but for you to say "many others" is simply a made up stat to justify your personal feelings on the work, unless you have a survey you conducted that I am not aware of.

Very expensive game to restore and common to have pf wear or blown out ramps. I struggled to sell/trade mine go last year (no led ocd, no color dmd). Ended up trading it for a bttf plus cash. Really do not get it as its a great game, highly rated, and same production numbers as ij or tz.

well the post right above yours mentions he'd prefer the gun in black. So there's at least one there...

but it's a B list game and not an A list title like TZ or IJ. You are putting a lot of value in mods, and as people are finding out, mods really don't increase the value all that much. Unless you find the person that was going to put all the mods that you have in themselves, but again, it would have to be a deal for them to not just buy them and put them in themselves. Moving a B list middle of the road game is tough when you are in the A list territory.

it does look nice. But can it justify a 2x price tag is the question. you have to find the right person.

exactly the point I was making.

Personally I find the ranking system on here to be bunk, but what do you call a list? Its rated 14 here. On IPD its rated 3. Given how long IPD has been around and that its is beating IJ, I find your notion that sttng is b list to be bull.

the ranking lists do not have any effect on if it's A list or B list. since there are many lists out there, and they are all different. STTNG has always been a middle of the road game. Still is. In the same park as, NGG, Roadshow, WH20 and the like.

So where exactly is the list that says what a A list, B list, C list or D list game is? STTNG is ranked as #14, I have always thought of this game as an A list game and I don't understand why the price hasn't crept up like all the other lower ranked titles? Over the last two years games that two years ago cost $1000 are now fetching $2500 but STTNG has remained about the same.

I don't get where you came up with 2x the price tag? He is asking $5600, the price range for STTNG for sale right now on pinside is from $4300-5900. And the median sale price is $4300 for 88 games sold.

Personally I think this is a beautiful example and tastefully done, and worth every penny of the asking price. I think you would be hard pressed to find a nicer one for the price. GLWS

I would not want to try and sell a STTNG for 4300. I'd be sitting on it for a long time. As for A and B list. Just had to have been in the hobby long enough to know.

Subtract colordmd, you are at 5200. Subtract new side rails and new lockdown you are at 5000. Subtract new legs and new coin door, you are at 4700. Subtract the OCD boards you are now at 4400, etc etc etc. When all is said and done you are well under the price an average shape STTNG, in fact, well under. If someone wanted to they could buy it, gut the mods, and still come out way ahead.

I have never understood why some people feel the need to get on others for sale threads and criticize the game, the mods, the color of the powder coat, or the PRICE. If your not interested in the game, don't like something about, or think it's priced too high then simply move on. People have the right to price their games how ever they want, if it's too high then it won't sell. What may seem like a high price to you might be reasonable to others. You may not value mods, others do. You can pick almost any game off the top 100 and find prices all over the place, the condition of the game and the extra's are what seperate the low ones from the high priced ones. The only time someone should be called out is if they are misleading, lying or doing something fraudulent.

If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all.

Right, but since when do you get your money back for mods that you have added to a pin?

Next you will be calculating the man hours put in to add the mods to justify the price.

Also I don't think that 4,400 is "well under the price of an average shape STTNG".

none of those things are 100% returns. he took off a door to put on a new one, he took off armor to put on the PC stuff. He took out the lights to add led's. so now someone is buying used (yes they do degrade, and the falloff is fastest on the front end) LEDs, a used colorDMD etc. reselling used parts are not going to get back the original cost, heck most aren't "worth" the new cost, but we buy them anyway.

because its a discussion forum, not the classifieds in the back of a newspaper.

The price police are being a little harsh here. Geesh. The post does say OBO.

Because, for the 800th time, it's a forum and if you don't want it in the forum you can just put it in the marketplace.

It's not two times the price or anywhere near. You have been falaciously arguing that STTNG is a $2500 game for years on here in it is total BS.

Yeah, but it is also in the "Market" forum, and the guideline for the forum is "be nice", and nitpicking a game you have no interest in purchasing yourself is kind of a d*ck move, isn't it?

Right, but then constantly pissing & moaning aboot people pissing & moaning isn't nice either is it?
The issue of just not being able to keep your mouth shut goes both ways...I never thought we'd need to be reminded of that everyday after the Kenada incidents but it never stops.

Plus the open ended "be nice" is just a cheap way for the man to keep you down

The purple LED's looks horrible. can you see the ball when your playing? FYI. I wouldn't put this game in the same picture with a nicely lit up ghostbusters. it makes it look even more darker.

Drop it to $4000 and I'm your man (note, I think that would be way undervalued, but if you are desperate to start the new year out with a mistake we can work it out)!

i have purple LEDs in mine and everyone that sees it raves about it. i agree it doesn't photograph well, though. the camera makes it look much more pronounced.
