I turned down $15k a year ago for mine. I bought NIB in 1997. Game has around 2000-2200 plays, all original except for ColorDMD. Perfectly clean, still looks new even under the playfield.

I would put MM HUO value at at least $12k. I don't think we are going to see pre-MMR levels again, but there cant be more than a handful true HUOs around. And if yours has a Bill Davis PF, then it's really restored - maybe still HUO, but not "original". . (However, some would add to the value just because of the Davis PF).

If you like MM, keep it.

Absolutely true on both counts.

But comparing MMR pricing to a true HUO MM is a foolish comparison. There is nothing in an MMR that's better than an original and who knows how easily an MMR can be repaired in ten, fifteen years. There will always be buyers that value an original over a reproduction.
