If you're looking for a pristine Lebowski you've found it here. Sad to see it leave the area, @mr68, but I hope you have a bit of fun with the proceeds!

If you follow the Lebowski thread, I don't think additional production is anywhere close to assured, though I hope they can somehow pull it off. So buying or selling a Lebowski now is a calculated risk for both the buyer and the seller. It's a beautiful, super-rare game with an A1 theme that's actually fun to play. If DP restarts production and quality out of the new China factory is equivalent to existing games, prices will come down. If DP implodes, prices will likely go up, since anyone buying or selling today will certainly factor in the potential for more games to be made one day.

Regardless, your "blue chip" pin pricing comment is a bit of a head-scratcher. That might be what you're willing to pay, but in what scenario would someone sell you a Lebowski for $6-7k? They're extremely rare now so that'd be a laughable price, but even if DP starts production again they'll be ~$10k NIB. So even in the unlimited production scenario you're asking for a 30-40% discount on a HUO boutique game, which is not realistic. Unless your point was just "I'm not in the market for a Lebowski," in which case fair enough but neither are most of us and probably no need to state it in his FS thread.

I've seen and played this machine and whatever it sells for, the buyer will get a beautiful example of a rare game that has a history of working 100%. A number of owners have had persistent and recurring issues, so a Lebowski that's plugged along without significant problems is worth a premium. And while I've only ever bought a few sheets of PDI glass from @mr68, I can say that he's beyond fastidious in caring for his games, and straight-forward in conducting business. If I were in the high-end game market, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him.

I don’t think anyone’s trying to hide anything...
