Quoted from Daditude:Price is everything. I learned that many years ago working for CiCi's pizza. People will buy ANYTHING if it's cheap enough.
At this point I'd remind all moneyed noobs and curious onlookers that "OBO" is in play...but yeah obviously "cheap" probably isn't in the discussion here.
Tell ya what I will do for you, I'll trade you my MBrLE and $10K since the dimpling on yours is at about the same state as my remake... You get to continue playing a title that resembles a MB-like pinball machine and pocket $10K. Hell, I'll even rebuild the flippers using some NOS 90's flipper units my brother has holed away and tweek out the backhand shots so it plays like yours does now. I'll even swap out that gawdawful scoop protector with a real Cliffy... that way you can get a couple of triple or quadruple, or heck maybe even a quintuple MOR game on it and push the GC to 1.5 to 2 billion plus... Or to put it another way, how much does it have to play exactly like an OG MB before you would consider it equal in playability and fun? Now mine didn't come from the factory playing this way, it took a lot of tweeking and a shit ton of adjustments all over the place, but in the end, it plays almost as good as the one Dave and Busters had on location in Cincinnati back in the 90's. For $8300 delivered, that feels like a bargain when your up against $20K for HUO OG MB.
Quoted from EricHadley:Is this still available?
Yes, as I’ve declined several full-offer buyers as I’m waiting for the right buyer to come along.
You just can’t sell a game like this to anybody. There is not a family for every pinball, nor a pinball for every family. I have rigorous standards for this game’s new home.
Are YOU the right family for this machine’s forever home?
Send an offer + references and let’s find out.

He's not lying. I offered him double his asking price. He immediately replied w a long, angrily-worded refusal in which he addressed me as a "Remake-Lover".

I was planning to have myself buried in it. Is that ok?

Please read the original ad again for the answer!
I don’t like to repeat myself.

It’s too many words!
Quoted from Williampinball:If this goes for that kind of money mys worth even more
Unlikely.
Post #47 is a clear admission by the seller that this is just a money grab based on other ridiculous asking prices.

Totally. I’m trying to grab money.
Unlike everybody else here who are selling pinball machines in exchange for butterflies and daffodils.

How daft. People sell games for money, of course.
But it takes someone special to price a game way out of sync with the market value.
You're probably new here and not aware.

Market value?
What are the other HUO original Monster Bash games priced at?
Come clean, Levi. Are you trying to make money selling this pin or what? You obviously have not been around long enough to be aware there are strict pricing requirements set forth by the governing pinball body of experts. Since you are new we will let this one slide but not next time. 
Quoted from RTS:You're probably new here and not aware.
Yep he is new here alright... But then again where is here anyway. Here is a relative term meaning somewhere. Everybody has to be new somewhere...
And his place to be new is here. 
If only I was closer!! I’d have to fly over from Sydney and check out this no dimples machine for myself. Have an armed guard sit with it all the way home to protect this most valuable asset. I’ve crunched the numbers and......well if only I was closer Levi (I don’t think he’s crazy) might have had a sale. Oh hi everyone I’m new here. Great price GLWS.
Unbelievably this is still available. No longer looking for trades but I've slashed the asking price from Ludicrous to Ridiculous.
If this was a prototype Congo, I would be all over it!!!
Seriously though, I think MB is one of the best pinball machines made. These don't come up often like this. I would buy this way before I ever a JJP pirates. If they didn't do the remake, this would be sold already. The remake is great, but it doesn't have the same feel.
Bump for the seller
Quoted from Williampinball:Qi am going have too watch this if this sells mys worth more
bingo price (resized).jpgQuoted from Jrotten:This is how a ad should be written. Guess you wouldn’t trade for 2 10k Earthshakers. Lol
Nah, Eartshaker kinda sucks even if it’s gussied up with backwards cabinet decals.
I was thinking 3 Bad Cats would do it!!

What about 34.6% of a Johnny Mn.... er Matrix?
If you consider it's potential use as a casket, you're really only paying like 16.5k. Also might come in handy if there were to be an earthquake, you could take refuge under it, so there's some extra added value there too.

I thought this all went without saying, but thanks for clearing it up for the slow kids in the class!
Quoted from spikelou2:Always thought crazy levi was one on the honest ones , that was in the hobby for the love not for the love of money ..
Why not both?
And to be fair I LOVE this Monster Bash. But I'd also sell it for a shitload of MONEY.
Surely you have a game or two like that, no?
Quoted from spikelou2:Always thought crazy levy was one on the honest ones , that was in the hobby for the love not for the love of money ..
he'd be dishonest if he told you he doesn't want $20k. and you and I would be too.
Quoted from gac:If it doesn't sell for $15K, relist for $20K? Ahhh... pinside. GLWS
Let's just say the latest crop of FS sale threads have me inspired!
Besides, I woke up in the middle of the night and realized I'd be nuts to let this rare gem go for a measly $15K.

Valid point. LOL
Quoted from Zablon:I don't understand why this is priced so low?? Is it filled with racoon poop?
I'm feeling generous and benevolent!
Not sure if it's the mini-stroke I had last night or this bottle of tequila I've been nursing all day, but I'm just feelin' the love around here lately.
