OBO...no shit. Not trying to pile on, but out of curiosity, why to people have NIB pins? As an investment? Or too many to open and play? I wish I had the later problem.

I'm not going to be as harsh as some of the other posters, but I will say that there's been a NIB example relisted numerous times on eBay for $10,777. It's actively listed at the moment (123699855877).

You have to look at the market and adjust your price accordingly. I'd have to imagine it's going to be tough to sell a game for $15,000 when an identical example fails to sell for 30% less.

Problem is anyone who buys this will want to play the pin at which point it will be a very nice HUO pin worth like $5-6K.

I’d rather buy a nice LotR that’s got mods like Color DMD and then have enough money left over to buy one or two other pins.

That may be low considering $7.5K is around the price of a NIB Prem. I am thinking $10K, but let the market decide. NIB LOTR is very cool!

Like I posted earlier, there's a NIB example for (essentially) $10,000 that's been relisted on eBay over, and over, and over again. A NIB example is worth less than $10K for sure.

I think the only market for these exorbitantly-priced NIB never-opened games is other collectors, who will never open them and let them sit in the box, then sell them for $10k more than they paid to another collector, who will never open them and let them sit in the box, then sell them...

It's disrespectful to pinball in general. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure pinball machines are built to be played.

I would think it's just an assumption because if there were solid proof Pinside would be going nuts.

Yes, I think so re: batteries.

I've been out of the hobby a few years and don't know current pricing. Probably selling most or all of the collection and all are nice, either purchased NIB, HUO, or restorations from TC and HEP. Starting with the NIB LOTR and BBB for now. Life going in a different direction. No disrespect intended if pricing is way out of line; that should be clear if they don't sell.
