great to hear...price is incredible

Like DuckBrain said I'm sure he has a line forming at that price. Just because one person says pm sent doesn't mean countless others haven't sent him a pm.

True and we haven't had the OP give us an update. I guess I'm just used to people posting in the thread "PM sent".

I've never understood the whole "PM sent!!!!!!!" thing. Good for you, you sent a PM. I don't care.

I'll explain it to you.
PM Sent!

Great game, great price! Great luck with the sale...

I agree. I hope no one is haggling here. It should be easy sale at 5900. If not, uh ohhh

If there isn't a queue of people lined up to buy the game at this price, I'd be shocked. Yes, the market has softened, but I don't think it has deflated to the point where a sub $6K STLE with a lot of extras still isn't considered quite a bargain. It did make me realize, however, that the second I open my TWD LE I will instantly lose at least a grand.

If this was on east coast, I would have bought it and sent money already. Damn.

I guess I had not noticed the prices lowering on the games that are sub $4000. Thanks for the heads up. The number of games in existence appears to be overwhelming the demand and people's space limitations.

I wouldn't be surprised if he sells it for more than 6K. If I was in the market for a STLE and saw this I would have offered more.

6500 ones have been sitting for a while.

1 sold last week for sub 6 and it did not have any value added additions (speaker upgrade).
It seems this is priced accordingly for a sale.

I would guess this is sold within the day, but it appears that STLE numbers are so high and the sale prices are continuing to drop (like pretty much all recent LEs).

My buddy was very interested but ended up passing as he is going to wait to check out all the new stuff at Expo in a few weeks. I would guess lots of others are in a similar boat and the code update added some fun to the game but still has bugs/issues which has made some less than excited to buy.

Good luck to seller. If I had a bigger budget I woudl have likely bought it since it is local. Alas, my wheelhouse is the sub 1500 game. me and my first world middle class problems

Granted, he was asking $6200, but it included a $300 piece of Invisiglass and some other mods. Easily put the value of the game itself under $6K.

Only if it comes with over $1K+ cash stuffed in the coin box!

I will continue to play it, then!

I'd rather throw mine off the balcony before I sell it to some Pinside schmuck for $6k.

The vultures are salivating as they think they can turn a few isolated scenarios into a "market". We'll see... the game hasn't even been out for a year. More updates to come as well.

You do realize that there is a drastic trend in many high dollar newer games taking a pretty big correction/decrease in resale?

I have been following STLE and prem prices pretty closely and these are not isolated occurances.
A few months ago is was 7k, then 6800, then 6500, then 6300, and now 6k. These all had mulitple sales at these tiers.

People laghed at me when I asked a 4 months ago what the trend was and I suggested 6500 was not out of line. Even you said something to the effect that none would be selling for 6250??? I think.

I had a buddy that was willing to pay 6500 a few months ago but now is waiting for expo so even he passed on 6k (I told him he is stupid since I think it is a great game). That seems to be a common thought.

I actually think the OP hit the correct price on the head and will still be suprised if it is not already sold, but just wanted to counter that this is a continuation of the trend and not an anomoly.

Reality is setting in combined with lots of new games that people want. I am wondering if this market correction will also result in changes to NIB games coming from Stern?

Again - game's been out less for a year. It takes time for a game to build a reputation. When I sold my IM, it's when no one cared about it...a few years later it was selling for $2k+ than when I sold it. When it comes to individual titles, demand/reputation can change over time.

I lean towards this theory as well.
We have had a WBT Star Trek Pro posted everywhere we can think of for Texas and Louisiana for quite awhile now and not even a blip has turned up. Not a problem as we are probably going NIB anyway, but no one is selling.

Congratulations on the sale. You probably left some cash on the table, but that's not a big deal if the buyer is easy to work with. The nice thing in this situation is if he gives you a hard time about anything just tell him thanks for stopping by and have a nice day. Then sell it to the next one in line.

Classy decision to wait on the first guy to PM you OP!

This at least reaffirms that my gut was right about the pricing on this game. It has indeed fallen in value quite a bit, but it's not a sub $6,000 game yet. Congrats on the sale, and enjoy whatever game you are replacing it with!

We have to remember there's a Premium. As a seller, selling an LE for ~the price of the Premium doesn't make any sense. For a buyer, it's a great deal...I don't expect it to become "the norm", though.

Sounds like the type of seller I would be glad to do business with, well done and with class. I hope others follow your lead

You are assuming the price of the Prem has not dropped?

This assumption would be wrong.

799 = $5990 !

First off, congrats to the seller on the multiple sale! Classy move waiting on buyers in order of their PMs.

Personally, I've never been in the market for STLE or any other version of the game. Even *if* a sub $6K STLE became available locally, I'd have a difficult time pulling the trigger. There are very few games I'm willing to go over $5K for. I don't think ST in any form is one of them.

The "market" is whatever they will sell for AT THIS POINT IN TIME. STLEs priced $6500+ have sat unsold. Those at $6K *have* sold. Will that number change in the future? Of course. But whether it's up or down is anyone's guess.

Let's hope the 3rd movie is insanely popular.

Please come to the york show ... I'll buy

There are always other facts to consider.
-Location. Location affects demand/price.
-Time of year.
-How many venues have been used to advertise the game? If it's just Pinside...yeah, it's gonna sit. There's CL, Ebay, Mrpinball, etc.

Movie popularity has little bearing on aftermarket game value. Game reputation & supply/demand do.

What are the other locations? I only know of here and the 3 you listed (full disclosure, I don't trust craigslist).

I think he's referring to the geographic location (state) in which the game is for sale.

And yes, I do know of a HUO STLE that sold in CA in the past few months that had a TON of mods on it which easily made the value of the game itself under $5800. Ask around.

There was a Premium that sold for less than 6K on here........4 months ago.

One game doesn't dictate the "market". I could sell mine for $2k if I just wanted it out of the house. Doesn't mean that then becomes the expectation.

I bought a LOTR for $500. Does that mean every buyer is going to hold out on buying LOTRs until they get a similar deal?

It doesn't dictate but it sure does indicate...a LOTR for $500! There is more of a story to that I'm sure.

So the sky isn't falling?

I wanna say who cares... because after the ITD butchering of WOK... I'm "off" any future movies.
Ofcourse; Shat is rumored to have been asked for ST3... but I'm not sure even he can save the Abrams-verse from my wrath.

There is a 6500 one in nj that has been for sale for months that hasn't moved.

But three games in the same general time frame is a decent measure!

It all comes down to what someone is willing to pay and if the seller is willing to let it go for that price, whether it be high or low. That's the only *true* market indicator.

Huh?

Who was this mysterious person that I spoke to on the telephone several months ago named Robert Winter regarding a trade of my STLE for his IM?

I think the increasing volume of games in the market has more to do with decreasing prices (than the games themselves). More supply to equal the demand means lower prices.

"You didn't speak to anyone on the phone named Robert Winter...."

My buddy listed a HUO STLE with invisa glass for $6500 a couple days after the code dropped here..Mr Pinball, CL, the Canadian sites (MAACA) and didn't get a single get an email.

The last 2 I've seen here that sold were advertised at $6200 (with mods and invisa glass) and this one 'loaded' at $5990...who knows what they actually sold for

I think it safe to say that the last 3-4 sold\not sold and sitting would probably set the market price..seems to be right at 6k

If anyone has one on the east coast for $5900, pm me.
I doubt I will see that on the east coast.

There's one in south jersey for $6,500.00.

I think the game is definitely worth it. New code is great.

It's a shame stern didn't do a run of 500, too many seem to have hurt the resale.

Congrats Brad! I hate your pricing, but love your sales style. Someone got a awesome game, fess up big winner!

I came close. Just didn't get up early enough. Wife will be happy. Lol
