FS/FT JUDGE DREDD w/Deadworld Mod - NOT FOR SALE ANYMORE

Thinking about selling my Judge Dredd so that I can buy my grail pin. This JD is in excellent condition and everything works 100%. Deadworld mod rocks and game is just downright beautiful. For the money, I don't think there is a better pin out there. LEDs installed. Local buyers only for now. Nicest Dredd I've seen in awhile. Pins I'd be most interested for trade would be IJ (Williams) or LOTR (HUO) but would consider other B/W games post 1989. PM me with any questions. Thanks. Asking $2,699 obo. Located in San Marcos, CA which is the North County of San Diego.

There is no hassle if the game is working correctly. The coolest multiball lock in pinball! GLWS!

From a buddy maybe, that's called price pumping. There is price policing and then there is price pumping.

Because it is twice the machine that others at twice the price fetch. IMO!

Price reduction to $2799 obo. I respect all your feedback. I think its comical that people get all bent out of shape on a price target that sits on the higher range of the spectrum for this game, granted the game is in superb shape. I realize the market for these is far less than a MM, TZ, IJ.....or any other A list game but damn.... this machine just doesnt' get the love that it should. Truly a spectacular game, with unique gameplay that allows you to choose which mode you want to hit next. Even for $4-5K this machine would be justified with the inclusion of:
-widebody
-4 flippers
-2 autoplungers
-6 ball multiball
-3 captive balls
-coolest lock ball mode ever (Deadworld w/mod)
-magnetic/rotating arms
-Alternative Supergame mode
-diamond plate playfield
-cool topper

And with some of the best artwork and sound to boot....Wow. Maybe I should just hold onto it. Getting second thoughts. Hurry up and make me and offer.

Cheers!

Ike, way to stand up for your game, dude! It is a real bummer when your "for sale" threads get dumped on by price checkers--if someone has an issue with the asking price and is interested in the game, make an offer or move on. I have an opinion on the price of your game, but I have no interest in buying it so I did not feel the need to comment and possibly affect your sale. The market is all over the place lately, who knows what game will be next to break through to another seemingly unattainable monetary level? Maybe a game in top shape is worth more to someone who really wants that game in excellent condition--would be to me.

I think here in the US too many people on first glance think this is related to that crappy Stalone flick. Once you realize this is based off of one of the best British comics.....its in a class of its own.

Also pretty cool that you control the entire game as there are no pop bumpers. This is the first I've played without them and it really makes a difference.

MINTY JD are hard to find, no fade with toppers, fully shopped - LEDs, deadworld Mod etc. If I were going to sell my JD it would be close to that range probably. There are haters but the game has some good flow and cool shots - just not a ton of strategy.

I just sold mine for 2400. It sold quick and the buyer did not try to haggle. Probably should have priced it closer to yours. Like has previously been stated, you get a lot of game for the money. GLWS and I would not drop the price too much.

There are several pins that have been historically under valued that people are starting to catch up to. As 'dgoett' noted, no way this one is a $1400 pin any longer.

Especially since any remake of this title would cost at least 8 grand. And the way I figure it, it ain't never gonna happen. So it is best to get a nice example while you can.

Funny... I have had Dredd at least 5 times.. different machine each time.. did the full shop, flippers etc.. and always ended up trading it with a Demo Man (at least 8 of them easily), it seems for me anyway, I have them, I don't play them for a while, end up making a 2 for one trade...

WELL, I was actually able to buy back my own Dredd and Demo, and I have learned my lesson.. I love these 2 games, probably the most of any game I had before, and this time they stay!!! Along with LAH.. And since I got to buy my own back, no trouble shooting or shop job.. just plug and play!

Good luck with your sale, great game.. you should keep it!

I put a Cliffy on mine before it had the chance to break - even though it was perfect.

That was a horrible design....

However, the Cliffy will 'fix' your ramp, and will probably make it look factory, even though it isn't...

Well.....probably not the first time this has happened with this machine. I've decided to keep it as it has really grown on me the past two weeks I've been thinking of selling. Went out and played a bunch of other machines on route and realized that this game just rocks! We'll see what the future holds but for now, Dredd's a keeper. FYI on price.....I had serious interest at my asking price of $2,699 and you'll note on pinpedia that of the 4 ebay auctions this year, 3 of them sold at $2500. With all this game offers I would imagine it will climb into the $3-4K range over the next year or two as people get sick of paying $4,500 for a brand new Stern piece of crap which just don't comapare and many just can't justify $7-8K+ for a quality new machine by JJP or the MMR. Total bargain in the mid $2K range and now I could buy another great game like NGG or FT to complement this one and still be in around the same price as the IJ I was considering. Just have to work on making more room in the house.

And with regards to Stern machines.... I can't tell you how many times I've come back around to LOTR trying to love the machine as I dig the books and movies but I can't get over how cheap the Stern games feel compared to Bally/Williams pins. Does anyone else feel this way? My guess is that these machines will continue to slide in value as many have been produced and they don't hold up very well from what I've seen. Anyways, just my $.02.

you mad, bro? sorry, couldn't resist.

No, i don't think the price gap between JD and LOTR will lessen over time. If anything, i think the chasm will widen. JD is a good game, LOTR is a great game. I used to feel the same way about the "feel" but i got over it.

Plus, Judge Dredd has now climbed to spot #13 on IPDB's Top 300. That's the highest I've ever seen it. Personally, I like games that don't have pop bumpers, just for something different, plus JD is the king of loop shots.

Ha ha ha. No, honestly not mad but after reading my last post I can see how you might think that. Honestly relieved as I've been spending way too much time thinking about my next pin and now I'm stoked to get deeper into Dredd. It actually has got me into a renewed interest into my Creech as well.

Maybe one day I'll get over the cheap feel of LOTR....I hope so cuz I love the theme and can't stomache putting $8K down on a Hobbit .
