Quoted from chooch:What is there to confirm? It's listed as the standard and not the LE. Also says in the ad it has a LE backglass.
The old friend of a friend. Well my friends typically give me a much better price then when listed publicly. Have any of these ever been listed at $9500? Buddy deals are not always indicative of the market and I am sure it would sell for more on the open market.
Pretty sure all the original runs were built the same and none were produced when Stern started cutting costs. Only differences I am aware of are the variations in PF color and registration. Brass did not come standard and was only on the LE. They did remove some items on the LE such as the figures however those were easy to find and put back on at the time. They also made a lot of additions to the LE such as extra clearcoat, shaker, brass trim, mirrored backglass, and it was still under 5K NIB.
To all the price police and people giving him the thumbs down one just sold last month on here for 7K. That one had some cabinet damage and ugly lollypop rails likely hiding wear around the buttons. This might not fetch 7.5K but I see no issues with the asking price. Probably smart to sell before they make a LOTR vault edition however I would prefer to have the original which is built like a tank.
Hi chooch, you may have missed it, but it was listed at 9500. I believe many of the comments were in relation to that previous price.
