Iron Man
Stern, 2010I have the opportunity to purchase a HUO Mint Ironman delivered with the below:
Mods/features include:
* Shaker motor
* Tournament button/kit
* External subwoofer converter/jack
* Animated LED backbox w/ remote
* Various non-ghosting LEDs in inserts and GI
* Arc reactor LEDs in chest of Monger, Whiplash, and War Machine
Is $6800 waaaay to much?
I wouldn't pay it, but I wouldn't pay $4500 for IM either. Not enough game there for the money. Rules are very shallow.
I agree a stock HUO IM is about 5500, with all the extras and shipping I would say that is about right. That is a hot game right now and prices seem steady. I believe there were only 1100 ever made and many most likely went over seas. I agree it is shallow game but so fun and bad ass! The game is rather short, fast, and difficult which makes you want to keep trying again. Good luck with whatever you do

Wait, what? Neo thinks a game is over priced? No way!
Quoted from Hazoff:Worth every cent, this game is one of the best ever.
A month ago I would of laughed at this comment ^ but now after putting some time in on IM I am a believer.. I can't explain it but I can sit there on IM and hit start over and over again like no game I've ever played.

I think it is a bit high. The only ones I've see go for that amount also include the red armor kit, a full speaker upgrade set, and maybe another mod or two on top (shooter rod, speaker lighting, etc).
Tough game to find for sale at all. This one sounds really nice. If you want an Iron Man and can afford it, go for it. I can't remember the last time I've seen one for less than 5k and that was routed. Are you overpaying by a couple hundred? Probably, who cares.
It's not a steal by an means, but on lower production games like this sometimes you have to pay a little more to get one. It took me nearly a year to track one down and I am glad I pulled the trigger because I haven't seen many for sale since. I probably paid a little more then market price at the time but it was worth it just for the fact I didn't have to waste anymore time hoping to find one. You could always sell some of the mods it comes with to recoup some of funds and decrease the overall price you pay.

I'm in same boat but mainly because superhero pins do nothing for me. If I had $6800 to drop there is no doubt the choice would be a NIB Luci or HUO MOPLE
It is big at tournaments and with collectors that host leagues. This may be one of the many reasons why it is on so many serious collectors want lists. It simply challenges the top players around the world. Great theme also.
So the question should be clarified into one of these two:
Is that price above the going rate for the game?
Is the game worth that price?
As a former owner...well, it's not far off the mark for that game.
Is it worth it? Only you can determine that...but it's a lot of cash to pay for a game that you can't spend any time on beforehand.
Quoted from mtdouble:Is this one of the titles that will continue to increase because of its rarity?
A lot of people are looking for this title right now. Some who owned it once and let it go. Maybe realizing that they liked it better than some of the more recent offerings. With only 1000 out there, and the demand high, don't bet on the price going down anytime soon.
Quoted from mtdouble:The same feeling you get from paying TOM?
I don't know how to compare those two because my ToM went away to make room for a Shadow, and I don't really miss it.
Quoted from Concretehardt:Wait, what? Neo thinks a game is over priced? No way!
But if he owned it he would want 6K+ for it.
I posted some technical issues with my Iron Man and got no response and see this new thread and this is where everyone is hanging out. Can someone go read my post on the Iron Man thread and throw me a frickin bone
I was offered 7k for my huo heavily modded IM and I still couldn't part with it. The gameplay is just that good IMHO.
Quoted from tktlwyr:IM is a fun game but I traded mine towards a METLE about two months ago and haven't looked back.
Good luck!
Wise choice IMO.
I am also a big IM fan, and far prefer it over most Sterns
The penalty for losing a "good ball" is just a heartbreaker.
Fast, tough, great action, no obstructed view by ramps - just a winner all around.
That's my kind of game.
$6,800 is high, but this title has been seen for sale the least among all the Sterns from the last 5 years, and is never for sale "Cheap".
That's gotta tell you something.

High price, but the pin will hold its value.
There are too many who want one, and too few out there. Far too few.
Congrats to the seller. Hes making a lot on the pin. Its crazy overpriced. Those mods dont justify the price at all. You must want it really bad. Buy it if you got the extra cash and enjoy it.
Quoted from deeznuts:Congrats to the seller. Hes making a lot on the pin. Its crazy overpriced. Those mods dont justify the price at all. You must want it really bad. Buy it if you got the extra cash and enjoy it.
"He is making alot on the pin" <-- how do you know?
"It's crazy overpriced" <--- just like anything it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.
Supply and demand - low supply with high demand = higher price.

I sold this pin to the seller. I know for certain he's not making much, if anything at all.
I challenge anyone to an Iron Man fan battle. I kick myself so hard for not being aware back in 2010 and picking one up then. Damn damn damn. Love my IM. It'll never leave and I'll pass it on after I'm gone on the stipulation it never gets sold.
I wonder if anyone has sent their IM to HEP for a full restore?
I love the music the deeper you get into the game. The market determines it's value, so worth is what you are willing to pay. Another game I wouldnt sell cheap. There is one to play in NYC at Pioneers near Penn Station. Great pin!

How much do you want for it Al?
It might be a few hundred too high, but I wouldn't call it "WAY overpriced" with the shipping included.

Seems spot on when you consider the shipping costs.
