Quoted from E_N_3:Yeah, the timing might not be ideal, but I figured no harm in my trying to help him sell it. I thought there may be somebody who wants an original version in amazing shape, regardless if a remake is made or not.
Whatever you do, don't tell him that a game in similar condition sold in Colorado a few weeks ago for $3500 (or maybe $3000, I forget).
Kidding aside, $14k is a tough ask in the current market. I suspect most looking for a primo MB are going to wait until Expo and see if that's the next remake from PPS (AFM and MB seem like the best candidates).
I would have been interested in this game between $10k-$12k last fall, but not now (I have an MB restoration in progress).
