Not that I know of. I’m not sure they will ever remake any Jpop games, unless it’s a Zizzle remake.

Because he’s a big dbag and no longer regarded well in the hobby. A shame. Because TOM is a killer game and I’d be all over a remake.

Probably not, although I don’t know if he retained any IP or royalty rights for games he designed.

LMAO. Thanks jgent, I needed that.

I know it was on the list of potential remakes when that was released by Rick/PPS, but I’ve never seen anything confirming that it would actually be done or is in the works. If I recall, there were a few games on that list that they weren’t sure would ever be remade.

I could be wrong, and I hope I am. I would grab a remake, or a cheaper original once the remake comes out.

I’m surprised the OP is selling it after reading his initial story about the game.

I don’t see anything wrong with the guy trying to get what he’s into a game for. And I wouldn’t consider it a “joke” for sale ad.

I don’t know many people that would be into a game for $14K after a HEP restore, and list it for $7500 some time after just to be “reasonable”.

Games in a home environment most likely don’t get abused significantly. My games stay in relatively great shape after serious work or restoration.

Price-bashing on Pinside has become anything but civil anymore. As I say in every other thread, if you don’t like the price, send him a PM with an offer. If he accepts it, he does. If he doesn’t, then he doesn’t. Simple.

The guy is from Woodcliff Lake. I don’t think he needs the money, or is worried about the length of time the ad sits there for.

There’s Ferrari and Bentley dealerships right down the street from his house.

Like how you referred to it as a joke ad again. All games are stupidly overpriced right now, for the most part. Has been that way for about two years. But I’m sure you know that.

There is no need for future “absurdity” reference. The guy paid $15K or thereabouts for the game, including having it restored by HEP if you actually went back and read his backstory. And he wants $15K for the game. Will he lose money on selling it? I’m sure he will lose a little.

If I wanted a HEP restored TOM, I would offer him 10 or 11 and see where he was at. I see rough TOM’s selling for 45 to 5500, “nicer” examples for $6500 - $8k.

Even so, I’m sure he’s flexible if he really wants to sell it.

Tell me though for curiosity. What do you think is a reasonable price for this game he’s selling?

I agree with some of that. Like I said, selling a HEP you will eat a little money. Could end up being a couple grand.

There are a few listed right now from 5500 to $9k, not HEP restored. So the going rate is at least (currently) what I pretty accurately stated above.

That’s not fair Ron!! You were doing metal plating back then, so you got a break on the cost of the brass. LOL.

Not really, I think I adequately supported my position above without being circuitous further. I do agree with most of your perspective anyway, and we are not on completely separate pages.

Only on Pinside do you say you agree with someone and get downvoted. Now you’re just being obtuse.
