Quoted from NPO:Ok, here I go:
How is SS a $7000 machine especially with some fade and no ColorDMD?
I haven't been watching the prices on them religiously, but last I checked these were $5800 to $6000. Not trying to start an uproar, I want to know if this game has really appreciated that much.
Pinside archive has the average price as $6010- $6990. Yesterday one sold in hours for $5500 and it had no display, the spider wasn't working, had cracked inserts, a cracked back plastic, an original cab that may be okay but it came with decals which tells you how good the cab must be. Plus you had to reassemble everything.
A HEP restore is marked here as sold for $13,500 (don't know if that's final price or not).
It seems with little threat of a remake, this title has quietly creeped up in price. I have met 3 people who happily paid 8G for a nice example which is hard to find. They made a lot of money on route and got beat up. Especially the Terrifying area and the scoops.
