#13 7 years ago

Such a killer bargain so much game for the price

#14 7 years ago
Quoted from rockrand:

Such a killer bargain so much game for the price

It is a great pin, but hard to sell, maybe it's still got the stigma from the early code issues.

Fun pin but I'm trying to shake up my lineup some, working around several keepers and pins I've had for less time.

#15 7 years ago

Bump

#16 7 years ago

Just lowered to $5000 firm there will be no further cuts.

still will do trade plus or minus cash, but with the value of XMLE at $5000.

#17 7 years ago

What trades are you looking for

#18 7 years ago
Quoted from hoby1:

What trades are you looking for

I already have 6 out of your 9 pins.

The only pins you have, that I don't have are RBION, SOP and TWD

Never played Sop so it's hard to say. Did you have anything on your mind to trade?

#19 7 years ago

I can't believe you don't find a buyer at this price. A LE for $5k? I wish I were closer!
X-men is a good game. Can't go wrong with that one. Especially at current NIB LE prices...

yes, no ghosting inserts, no leg wrinkles like you see on TFLE.

This price will be limited so once it's off the market this price will not be in effect.

I'm only willing to take such a big loss (I'm an original owner) because I got a heck of a deal on another pin.

#21 7 years ago

this price won't last long because I will just keep it if it doesn't sell.

Nice, what did you grab LOTR or WOZ?

#23 7 years ago

Dang that's a great price and game, bump!

#24 7 years ago
Quoted from MinusWorlds:

getting a LotR HUO

I have been reading up on the rules, I never knew even the basics like the ring tally. So I think when I had played it before I was just hitting the ball around and starting modes but never knew what was going on.

Perhaps the proceeds from this sale will go towards a WoZ but hard to say.

#25 7 years ago

I sold my X-Men LE Magneto in 2013 for $5K.

#26 7 years ago

$5k is a great deal on a great pin. If I didn't already have one, I'd get this one and ship it. Even having one, I'm tempted. GLWS...someone is getting a stellar game!

#27 7 years ago

We just got one it is a fun pin bump.

We can get this game to York if anyone is interested. Great Deal!

#31 7 years ago

Nice GC score by the way. Game looks great. My XM is bolted to the floor here.

#32 7 years ago

SOP if interested . IT a true HUO and perfect in every way. Looks like it just came out if the box . Full C/T premium LEDs , red cab protectors , white rubber, mirror glazed balls, all manuals still stapled in, red super bands, and NV Ram installed.

I hear this a lot.

My question is why are people not interested at a good price? While I'll grant you that it's not the super top pin of the day like GBLE.

I know not everyone wants one or may have one already or in the past but surely there are some with XMLE on their want list.

This pin has already depreciated so what's the worse case you can sell it for $4800 (ish) down the road? I just don't see how much lower this will go it's already at new pro level price.

Also this is a single owner LE with probably 400 plays not a routed or 4 owner pin that has 5 times as many plays.

#34 7 years ago

Finally, I'm not sure if there is any pinball ediquite but when I list something for a firm price and then get offers of a pin that's (if lucky itself a $3000 pin) plus $1500 to me that's $4500. If I wanted to sell it for $4500 I'd list it that way.

Also I don't see the value of an offer of a XM pro that another party wants to trade to me at a mid-high value plus some cash that I'd have to sell. If that pin is worth that mid-high value why doesn't he sell it instead of dragging me into selling it. It just seems odd, a trade for a pin that I have to sell (if possible) at a certain price to break even just doesn't seem like it's advantageous to me. If the pin is worth xyz just sell it and package the money for my pin, I'm not a pin broker who takes pins to sell on consignment.

#35 7 years ago

I like XMEN-LE WAY more than GBLE. Hang in there you will find a sensible pinhead to buy your game. Definately one of Borgs best games.

#36 7 years ago

So you won't trade for my same condition Magneto LE and give me $500 also huh? :wink

No brainer of a safe price. Much better than a Pro NIB for sure. Premiums don't even have painted armor anymore.

#37 7 years ago

I like some of the new pins but you can see things being take off such as snap clips instead of lockdown bar or premium/Le not real mirrored back glass on some LE (I don't think). Heck premiums are not coming with lollypop side rails anymore. So you're looking at another layer of cash outlay to get up to the the previous premium level.

And finally (not to overstate this) but this is not some used to heck 4 year old pin. It's been in a climate controlled no sunlight basement never moved one time from its location and played maybe 400 times which to some pins that's about 6-9 months home use.

When it comes time to sell, everyone thinks their machines are worth high end of their range, and your machine is worth low end of its range. I dealt with a lot of those offers when my XMLE was recently up for sale.

Hang it there. It's definitely worth $5K w/o color DMD and shaker motor. The pin selling season is a month or so out yet.

It's definitely going back in the vault if I don't get some real offers.

I mean, I don't like TAV LE so that's not anything I'm looking at, but back a while someone offered even trade XMLE for TAV LE which I think is fair both downtrodden in value pins.

But a pin like WPT I've seen sell from $2600 ( very nice) to $3200 (for a super mint), then someone puts a value on his WPT at $3700 idk why. Is it a gold plated WPT?

People do this crap all the time to me. For example, someone wanted to trade for my HUO Monopoly and valued their routed Maverick at $2700 (but It had LEDs) He was going to kick in $200. I politely declined. Sheesh.

I also like the "if it doesn't sell and you want to move, I'll offer you 60% of your asking price. And I'll pay in cash"... Wow, you will pay in cash!

I am sure you are getting all kinds of nickel and dime offers. Good luck.

This machine is priced to move and someone will get an excellent value. If I didn't have a magneto years ago, I would be all over this.

I vividly recall a TFLE that was for sale here 2 years back went for $3850 or some such and it was mint, maybe a tiny bit of leg wrinkles. I didn't want a TFLE and had just bought 2 pins STLE and IMVE so it was a bad moment for me to jump on TFLE. But to me it was just a no brainer for whoever did pick it up because there's just not much downside at that price.

I remember it well. It was sold by a local Baltimore guy too. I too was out of cash.

Some the offers ive been getting for my luci are hilarious to say the least. I state im only looking for 3 particular pins but get tons of other offers instead but the best yet was the ngg and 1500 cash ....lol but thats not even in the same ballpark considering that been offered nib hobbit se , addams gold, mb, ss, and tons of other great offers. But i guess some people think a ngg is worth 7500 lol. Glws phil

depreciation isn't a one-time thing. You're asking $5000+ for a game you paid what.. $6500(??) new. The title has to compete with other games released both before AND after.. and that hurts xmen... no matter how great of condition it is. So if people are buying new or HUO games of much more desirable titles (MET, ST, TWD, etc), even if pro and not LE, you have serious price competition at a significantly lower price point ($4000-4500). Yes, new GB is $5100 but there is still a lot of action for near new games sub $4500. That's your competition.

The idea of buying a xmen and it's going to appreciate is long dead. No one is going to buy the title on speculation alone. They have to buy the game because they want xmen and they are lured by LE trim. It's the same for titles like WWE and Avengers.. there is resistance to price drops because of how much people put into games and they see other games holding value.. but ultimately the prices will continue to slide on these games as people are forced to cash out or cut their losses. The HUO games always slide slower and tend to stick in tiers vs free-falls.. but undesirable LE titles sticking at $5500++ years later? I think people are going to take bigger hits than that.

NIB buyers don't want to take big hits... and think all pins retain value... but its still largely driven by desirability and availability.. not thinking they are built-in value.

If the NIB prices for the Pros go well above $5000 I think we will see prices trend a little up for games like XMEN LE because they will be a good alternative to the overpriced and unproven NIB games in that price range.

I agree the average price for a generation of game will creep up .. as the upper prices define the top of the market (as DMD prices across the board keep creeping up as the Stern prices increase).. but less desirable games are still gonna take it in the nuts compared to the rest of the generation. See most of the mid 2000 sterns vs the hits... TF/AV verse the hits..

The 'my games hold 90% of their value or better' model isn't going to be universal.

The 'my games hold 90% of their value or better' model isn't going to be universal.

Another thing I suspect is that certain recent Stern titles that have been their biggest runs will slip in price once some newer titles have success. The demand for recent high production games cannot stay this high unless a lot more new people suddenly come into the hobby. If the number of people in the hobby stagnates then the people that remain will be looking to sell to get newer games since we only have so much room. If you look at Stern's games in the last six years a select group of titles have carried their company and they have had a lot of mediocre and poor sellers in that period.

I also believe the LCD display will negatively affect the demand for DMD games to a small degree once there are 10 or 15 LCD titles that are successful and highly rated. However, if the manufacturers raise the NIB prices for LCD games well above what DMD games have been selling then maybe that will offset the reduced demand for DMD games and they could maintain price.
We also have to factor in this equation the economy. If the economy tanks all prices are likely to go down and the manufacturers will struggle to survive similar to the 2006-2010 Stern.

And XMLE has a real backglass, not a mirror painted translight...makes a huge difference.

I guess no interest in SOP right ?
