Why assume that CGC's next game will come in at $8k? It's still possible that they'll drop the price somewhat to try to pick up more sales.

Surprising they sold even two given your assessment that pristine "EuroHEP" MMs are readily available at 10,000 EU.

So MMR has gone up 2,000 EUR since launch? Is that an exchange rate issue or were the European distributors using a JPP model of slowly increasing prices? Either way that increase is nuts, and would certainly be a psychological deterrent if nothing else for people considering buying in on MMR now.

I hope you're right, I'd be pretty tempted to upgrade my Sorcerer to a $2,500 NIB if one became available some day ...

For some reason I always misread "WNBJM" as "WNBA Jam." Of course they went another direction with it ...

Unfortunately I have to agree. It'd be great if someone approached PPS and got the license to remake early SS games for $4,000. But kind of hard to see who could take that up, since they'd need to sell (and therefore produce) a large number to get close to the profit that could turn selling an "A list" DMD remake at $6-7k. Of course it should be cheaper to make a game with fewer components, but it's hard to believe that it costs $3k more to remake an MM than a Fathom. So it would take someone with the capacity and financing to actually make a large number of games at a lower profit margin, yet willing to pass up licenses that would likely produce a much better return.

Of course Stern could do it if they wanted. But I imagine they're quite happy dominating the "low end" NIB market with $4,800 pros.

Totally agree! I don't fault PPS/CGC for charging what the market will bear for MMR. I just meant that with titles like MB and AFM out there still, it's hard to imagine if/when anyone would get around to remaking titles that would realistically need to be priced at $4,000 to sell in any kind of quantity. Which is a shame because I'd love to see a NIB Sorcerer.
