Quoted from Jared:
All depends. Could be right... could be wrong... could lose $3k... could make $3k.

Not sure about the market in the US, but are there any LEs with which anyone made $3K (or even just $1K) apart from Tron? (serious question)

Quoted from ZippyThePinhead:
Both AC/DC LE's...$3K plus all day long!

Interesting, thanks for the info!
Over here the market for used LEs is really tiny, everyone prefers the Premiums. Same with Metallica. Luci Premium and Monster Premium sell extremely well, LEs not so much.

Quoted from Rarehero:
You have a company with a reputation to uphold.

Agree with your post but i think this "reputation" thing needs to be looked at closer.

It seems to me that the reputation Stern is trying to uphold after not being "the worlds only manufacturer of arcade quality pinball machines" any more is now being "the worlds only pinball manufacturer releasing multiple games every year". They seem to be trying to differentiate themselves from JJP or others by pumping out new titles at a very high and reliable frequency in an attempt to suffocate their market companions with pure volume. Since all manufacturers have gotten away with releasing games with unfinished code they might have gotten the feeling "finished code" is a second tier reputation. It's our task to correct this thinking by not buying their unfinished games.
