Monopoly
Stern, 2001Happy to answer questions if you got them. I guess I would consider offers, but I am listing as a no reserve auction on Ebay starting at $.99 (Yea, I'm a rebel 
or a dumbass...one or the other). A boat load of pictures and all the details listed in my auction.

Quoted from luch:this should go for close to 5k , nicest Monopoly around
If it goes for $5K I'll cut my Monopoly into little pieces and eat it. :>
The only one with a chance of selling for that much would be the Boardwalk or maybe Park Place one and only if you had the other one and desperately wanted to have the pair. It just doesn't command that much money. Too bad, I love the game. Bought mine NIB for $3300 I think.

LOL. c'mon .. 5k? If it goes for more than 3500 I'll be surprised. This isn't that hard to find in 'like new' condition (and it's not exactly an incredible game to boot.)
Thanks for all the positive remarks. 5k would be incredibly optimistic even in my wildest dreams, but it is very nice and the reason I listed at no reserve. Hard to put a price on great examples. I was shooting for 3k plus to help offset some of the fees, but you never know.
Had a few people ask me what I would sell for and honestly I have no idea and the reason I listed like I did. I would listen to any offers of course, especially 5k ones 
lets have a little fun and guess what final bid will be...
my guess is $2950
great looking machine btw
Quoted from BALL_LESS1:Nice house.....
now maybe the house will get 5k for sure
Ebay auctions are funny, I've seen them start on fire and basically stall out with little action after the first few days. I've seen plenty that I thought someone was going to steal an item, only to have a flurry of bidding in the last few seconds (snipers) and bid the item up much higher than I thought it would get to in the first place.
It's really about being in the right place, at the right time. On Ebay the last 6 that have sold averaged $2600. The highest to sell on Ebay was $5200. Definitely a gamble, considering a few that have been sold were heavily routed and not nearly as nice. I took lots of pictures though and try to be as upfront as possible about the condition.

Monopoly is BIG BANG for the buck! Didn't think anyone had as sweet a machine as mine but You do.
I think Lawlor did a great job on Monopoly. 1st Stern for him so like TZ he put a lot of stuff in to this game from a mechanical standpoint.
I need to sell some pins and sometimes think about selling mine and then realize for the $$$ it might fetch I ain't selling! Gets a lot of play when people come to my gameroom warehouse.
Sorry You have to sell yours to pay bills, but if You miss it one is not far away to play!
Quoted from TigerLaw:Nice example. Does it have LEDs in it? I didn't see if that was listed.
I updated my my auction on Ebay at the bottom and added a short video (very short and poor gameplay, lol). It has premium frosted LEDs for the general illumination, so all topside bulbs. All inserts and everything under the play field is incandescent.
Love that topper doughslingers!
Quoted from FLpinball:Bump for a great guy & seller!
and thanks Charlie!
Quoted from Underspin:Auction gone did the machine sell locally?
Always happens on Ebay they "sell" it before it ends. No real offense to the OP as I'm sure someone gave you an offer you couldn't pass, I hate that Ebay lets auctions be pulled. If you start one you should have to finish it or pay a % penalty of last bid price when you pull it.
Problem with ending ebay auction early now is that they charge you the commission on the highest bid.
Yup, new policy. People don't notice it because it automatically bills you. I ended a few auction as I always do and got billed $200 for items that never sold.
Wow didn't know that about the highest bid commission. Another reason to think twice about using eBay to sell large ticket items
Quoted from thedarkknight77:Problem with ending ebay auction early now is that they charge you the commission on the highest bid.
That's not a problem for anyone but the sellers. And good. If you don't want to sell it don't list it on an auction site.
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:That's not a problem for anyone but the sellers. And good. If you don't want to sell it don't list it on an auction site.
Agreed, but the problem is, after years of allowing it, they changed without telling anyone. I would also add that less than 15% of total ebay sales come from auctions. EBAY is a "Buy it now" online retail store, so calling it an auction site is questionable. I now place things for sale with an outrageous buy it now price and take offers.
Yeah I saw that, WTH, I was about to put a pretty decent bid in. Wow ebay sucks to allow people to play games like that, no offense to the Op.

Does this make shill bidding a little harder?
Quoted from JimB:Does this make shill bidding a little harder?
No, they love shill bidding and practically support it the higher the auction price, the more in fees.
I'll never buy anything of real value on eBay strictly because of shill bidding. I'm behind the times though, because I still think of eBay as an auction site. I guess it's really the worlds largest flea market now.
wheres the seller ? hello .. toaster, where u at
your buddies here want to know how u went with the monopoly sale. : P
Quoted from thedarkknight77:Problem with ending ebay auction early now is that they charge you the commission on the highest bid.
not so, if its a buy it now, but yes this wasnt. : P
Quoted from Cybergoonie:Soooooo OP had a reserve after all it looks like. Que price is wrong Bi%# horn.
Did you really think he was gonna sell it to someone for 99 cents?
Quoted from Pinfidel:Did you really think he was gonna sell it to someone for 99 cents?
Um yeah. Hello!? Lol Of course not but the auction was up to about 2100 and then abruptly ended...I'm guessing cause the OP wasn't happy with where auction was headed. Hence my poor attempt at humor I guess.

Sorry Cyber, I got your humor and laughed. I thought you'd get mine too. I was cracking up when I wrote it. Simply because we all know that once it wasn't near what he thought he was going to get for it, he pulled the plug before it ended on him. 
Quoted from Carl_694:What happens now if it doesn't meet reserve?
not totally sure, he either closed the auction maybe because it didnt get to what he wanted, or he may have taken an offer for it. he may have decided to keep it? who knows. there may be other reasons tho for the closure. did anyone notice the last bid price it got to ? i may have seen at around 2.3k with a couple of days remaining.
its still listed in his current collection tho. : P
