With all the 8k+ games flooding the market I think this is clear evidence of the market getting saturated.

Although, looking closer at the pictures, around the legs where it is black, it appears someone has filled in the black with marker and/or paint? It's hard to see in the pics but I know it doesn't look right compared to how it should look. Also, it's strange that someone would remove the original lockdown bars off the front cabinet (but yet leave the holes showing?). Also, looking at the playfield closer I do believe that is a reproduction playfield (not an original) that someone swapped in at some point?

I think 8K is a really good price and this game looks really good overall but there are still a few issues there. GLWS.

Absolutely about the wrinkle around the legs, very common. I'm just seeing a lot more black there than the decals come with so it appeared to me there was a fair amount of touch up and being black it is usually hard to tell in photos how it really looks in person.

As for my comment on the playfield, typically you don't just see the wrinkling around the legs for no reason. It usually happens with a moderate amount of play. To see an MB playfield with zero Drac track wear (and with no cliffy there) as well as what appears to be zero wear in the shooter lane would be unusual to say the least (not to mention how clean the underside is compared to the bottom of the cabinet). You stated you bought the game in 2011 so I'm curious how well you know the history to know a new playfield was not installed? Perhaps an NOS playfield was installed or replaced at some point? But that's a very tough NOS playfield to find. You should see the factory stamp on the side of it denoting it as an original and I know a couple differences between the repros and the originals.

REGARDLESS, don't get me wrong, this is a great looking game and a very good price! AND full disclosure, I did offer 8K to the seller myself.

A reasonable price considering what some have been going for over the last 1-2 years. But man, if you owned this for 4.5 years you had to make a good $3000-3500 profit from what you paid (I think I sold mine around 4 years ago for 5700 with a new set of decals). The price on this title just jumped so fast in such a short period of time it's nice to see it settling back to something a little bit more reasonable.

$1200 must include some significant upgrades! But yes, I'm not surprised by your purchase price and I'll just add that I think there is nothing wrong in your case of being fortunate enough to make a little money on a game. You enjoyed it for more than 4 years so you clearly are in it for the love of the game and not for making a buck. Congrats on the sale.
