Stern, 2012
AC/DC (Premium)
Stern, 2012Seeing how they are out of production, ebay has none listed and pinside only has 1 for sale at $8k...what are they really worth? I have 2 and both have invisglass, timberbell mod, led speaker mod and cannon mods. Huo too. Thinking mine are worth $6k min. Am I low?
They are worth enough for Stern to do another run of them 
As for yours, yes, 6k is too low. 8k is too high. I'm presuming the next run from Stern will be about 6600 (expired license just means they have to pay for a license again). So anyone paying more than 7k is going to lose out. Sure, they will have a great game to play, but as soon as the next run hits, it will lose almost a grand.
Tx for all feedback. I heard someone say that the license cost may have went up to acdc. If true then stern may nod their head no to a ve. Who knows for sure though!

I do not believe for a second Stern will do another run of ACDC's in any form.
They will have there hands full with KISS for the next full year, and if the GOT rumors are true, I cannot envision any way that title is not excellent.
End of year rumors include Star Wars also, so I think ACDC has played it's last song at Stern.
Luci value will hold steady at mid 6K's.
Yours does sound worth 7K to me, easy.
Quoted from Warbound:Hey everyone...the very nicely modded Luci sold in the marketplace! $9,500. GJ to tbe seller!
10k by 4th of July??? 
There aren't any le, premium or luci for sale in the market, not surprising this sold for so much. Was thinking of putting my premium up for sale, but not really sure.
I thought there was one more non modded for sale at $8k. Now I have to go check.
***Edit.
yes there is one more huo for $8K. It has the bell timber mod only. I think that is like $12 so basically this is stock with not much $$$ in mods. Does have the box it came in too.

Paging Mr Stern. Mr Gary Stern, please pick the courtesy phone to have a discussion with Dave's wallet.

Holy shit that's insane. I'd even consider selling my loaded Luci for that price and it's still my favorite game.
Yes 9500 was the selling point. Great game, great artwork just not a "players games" for me, would have been more of an investment and I just don't need or want that. I want games I will play lol.... Feel free to check my feedback. Finally getting some sales under my belt
Thanks Warhound for the shout out
That's a nice price for the seller. The problem is that each time I hear of a higher price point for Luci, I ask myself if I'd sell my loaded version for that price, and right now I'd still have to say no. Though it's getting close that tipping point. Its just to good a game and my game room would really miss her.
My wife and I are daily players...at our home obviously. Luci gets the most attention. She is better than me (holds high score on every pin we buy) but on Luci I can take 2/3 from her sometimes. That alone keeps me loving this game. It is hard for me to get a grip on values for Luci. I have tried just because I am curious. My understanding is only stern knows how many were made...this makes it difficult to compare and value. I wish the production count would leak out to the public.
On another note...I heard from a reliable source that stern would have to pay a much higher licence fee to run acdc again. Now note, I did not say they would not run a V.E., I just heard it will cost them $$$ to do it. Sooooo if Stern nods their head no to another Luci run, then Luci's will probably hold their value well for years to come. Maybe even go up more but I don't know....seems they are lofty value already so just holding current prices would be nice for owners!
Sold my Lucy to retiredpinball for $8500 he posted it 3 days later for $9500. I think he sold it locally to another pinsider.

Doesn't that just piss you the hell off? That's why I'm going to be REALLY careful who I sell to and what I sell games for when I actually do sell something. That just sucks.
NIB under 200 plays,lcd mod,train topper,cannon mod.

hmmmm. Obviously nothing wrong with that, but that would torque me a little bit.
Guess he earned the name "retiredpinball"....
Yeah especially when I didn't even have it forsale he wanted it really bad and wouldn't leave me alone till he got it. Learn from my mistakes bro.

"NIB under 200 plays" - This doesn't add up. Can't be new in box with plays on it.
I know of one that sold for $8K that was nicely modded. We both thought that was kind of high at the time. Looks like that's not as high as we thought it was.
I was the original owner, And your right I didn't have to sell it, But when the buyer said its all he ever wanted was a luci. I thought at least he was going to keep it longer then 3 days. No worries I didn't get hurt at all on the deal, I just didn't like playing it.

The best way to get a grip on values is to put it out there when you're serious about selling and aren't in a particular rush. If demand is high and owners aren't selling then the production numbers don't really matter. Now seems like a great time if you have a spare.
I don't think license fees are that high relative to the total cost of a game. The issue is typically if something about the package doesn't fit with the licencor's current marketing strategy. Doubt Stern will give a nod to anything that could potentially make them money.

Maybe it is not the same one.in my pm's to happily he mentioned an lcd mod and topper but not a cannon mod. Either way, he definately tested the resale market further which helps us all understand values one step further. Especially me. Luci and PM values are so puzzling since so few are ever for sale. I paid $4k for my PM 2 years ago and I seen a few recently list and/or sell for $3k to $3.6k. I kind of thought the value would have gone up but it did not....hmmmm....unless I over paid.....hmmmm...quite possible. Not the best negotiator here
Speaking of lcd mod's...that lcd mod looks great! I am on the list to get it when more are made.
I bought a Luci. 8K.
To some that's high. To some not.
But I was going to buy an ACDC anyway. So why not a limited edition.
I was wondering what the MSRP was on this game. Didn't they sell for 7k new? That's what I found online.
Quoted from GoodManners:Didn't they sell for 7k new?
6.5-6.7K was probably what most people paid for this NIB
Ok. Thanks centreflank. Someone was trying to tell me they sold for 7k CAD new. Sounds like BS now. And I never see them for sale.
This one had 31 plays on it. And a shout out to seller - Erik in OH. A great guy and a pin fanatic.

NIB Luci sold for between $7,195 and $7,495 if I remember right.
Quoted from Max_Badazz:If I remember correctly, it was 5150 shipped. Which was a lot back then when pros were new under 4k
That was in the good old days when Pro/LE price difference was closer to $1k.

I paid just under $7k CDN for my NIB Luci, not including tax/shipping. Exchange rate was much nicer back then though.
