Judge Dredd is a $1400 game folks

Quoted from accidental:
My understanding is that the original topper is brittle moulded plastic painted with a matt gold.

This is correct- an expensive piece of cheap plastic.

Im sorry but this is F-ing crazy town. I know you have Dredd and want it to rise so you can make a few bucks one day man, but you stepped over the line from cheerleading into wack-job on these estimates.

You can find better prices on Dredd- How much for a perfect HUO, w/ original topper, cointakers throughout, invisiglass, deadworld mod, blue chip, and gold plated trim?

I don't know. There's one on EPay for BIN $1500. We'll see how fast he sells it.

OP
Quoted from Pinwizkid:
Been seeing a lot of price gouging going on with this title and not being a fan of price policing on anyone's sale thread, I figured I'd open this up for discussing in hopes of keeping yet another title from spiraling out of control due to unaware buyers being taken advantage of.
Here are some numbers:
Boston Pinball Average - $1,236
Most recent ebay result WITH BIDS - $1,525.00 (didn't even sell due to reserve)
Mr. Pinball 2013 Listing - $1400
So, when I see ads for this game for $2200+ for an average condition game and the first 5 replies are "Great Price! Should sell fast!" my gut reaction is that there are simply many people on here that are unaware of the pricing resources available. I know prices are going up, but when all 3 of these stats hover around $1400 as of today, there is no reason for everyone to be APPLAUDING a $2000 - $2500 asking price (especially when some of the recent ads have been "firm on price" or include threats of parting it out if not sold).
I wouldn't be writing this if there weren't evidence floating around to back this up. Not looking to open up yet another "general" pinball price discussion, but I think discussions on specific titles are helpful for potential buyers to avoid getting ripped off.
Rant Over
-BB

Just remember, the market dictates the price not you, me or anyone person. If people are selling this pin for $2,200 so be it. If $2,200 is too high then no one will buy it. I like you do not appreciate the "price police" because many of the so called "experts" don't know as much as they think they do.

Better than making a all new thread to discuss the exact same thing, in my opinion.

Just seeing the original title of this thread seems funny now a year later. I think this game is going much closer to around 3k in nice shape (if not more). I don't know why he wanted to hate on this game so much, I love it. It's especially cool if you have the Deadworld mod.

Are there any other games like JD that someone wants to proclaim are only worth 1400-1600 now? I wish there were. I'm not sure you can even get a Diner in this range any longer.

I saw a JD at Pinfest a few weeks ago for $2150. Then I saw another one the next day for $2800. I wasn't quite sure if it was the same one or not since the first one disappeared from its original position--someone may have bought it and tried to resell it for a higher price--I wasn't quite sure. Both had the deadworld locking mod.

I bought one in really nice shape with a topper for $2200 at MGC. There were no LEDs installed, nor was there a deadworld mod installed. I have seen 1 or 2 for sale on Craigslist in the Chicago area for around $2-2.5k and they looked to be in worse condition than the one I purchased.

Thats a very good point. A fun B/W DMD game in great working order commands more than $1600. Crazy how things can change...

Pin prices are messed up because of how expensive shipping is. I bet there are places where your doing good to get 1800 and others you would get much more. I think the game also kind of is hurt on price because it was never a good location game and probably better at home.

I would say that Dredd is for sure a game you need to dial in before it really becomes a badass game. A few mods, some wax, correct pitch and levels... the game is totally a sleeper hit. I really do love it.

How many games on location are dialed in? At the bar with the most pins here in Houston, all of their games looked and played like crap. I am happy they had them but why I am going to drive out to play crap when I can plays something that is well maintained at home. I will plug the Game Preserve by the Woodlands, though. Almost everything they had was in working order, and well maintained. Even at that, there aren't exactly a lot offered in a city as big as Houston. Point being I bet there are very few people that have had the chance of playing a dialed in JD.
