I get there are purists out there that want the original, but the remakes are well built, have many big improvement, and of course "New"... in my opinion you would have to add quite a bit of cash to the deal...your better off selling and then ordering the LE

If its truly HUO, and in mint condition I can see him getting $7K+ for the game. There's enough purists out there that would probably take that deal. What really hurts the value in my opinion is the classic version, which is priced at $6K.

I guy locally just put up an ad on Craigslist trying to sell his so called "mint" Monster Bash with color dmd (no pics in the Ad).... he's asking $8K....If its indeed is mint (which I doubt) he might get close to $8K, but he has a color dmd..my guess is closer to $7K

True if u have to pay tax...$300 will be the shipping costs....

yea but his doesn't have color so $6300 is the real number unless u pick it up in person

I agree $6300 delivered is basically the bare minimum (and $8300 for the LE)...in my mind its crazy for anyone to pay more than that for 20+ year old machine unless its been completely restored. If its been restored and has color I think the market is in the $7K range (unless its a HEP)...although in my mind the remake LE seems to offer far more than anything the original can offer (mainly due to the large color HD display)....its kind of a game changer on MB

Nobody likes paying taxes or shipping costs....

The question is whether or not your so called HUO MB with 5K plays is worth the price of a brand new MBRLE ($8300 with shipping)....the answer is you would have to throw in a lot of cash to make that deal. The actual amount really depends on condition, and I find it hard to believe a game with 5K plays is in mint condition or in the same condition as a brand new classic that you can pick up for $6K (+shipping).....if your game is really HUO, and is in "mint" condition its probably worth $6000-$7K (only because there are always people out there that are purists and want the original).... not anywhere close to the the $8300....sucks, but people with the original MB have just took a big hit in value....

I like the black trim on your TZ

Hard to say, but it sure is nice was it restored? If so than easily $7K+ ... I just don't know why anyone would pay more than what you can get a brand new SE? I had an original restored AFM and then purchased the AFMRLE and the improvements were really a big upgrade (sound, big color screen, animated topper, lighting, etc..). That being said I totally get why some people are only interested in the originals. I think our very nice TZ's will only go up in value over time as there is probably zero chance they will ever be remade.

The original implied topic was whether or not a undocumented, stock, HUO MB was worth the price of a NIB MBRLE ($8300)....although I readily agree that having an original MB thats actually HUO is probably pretty rare, and certainly has great value (although its hard to tell without seeing detailed pics as its all about condition). I just can't get my head around seeing $8300 value for this game when you get a brand new one with all the bells and whistles. I still think its a $6-7K game as there are people out there that only want the originals.

I agree the timing is horrible, but I think finding a buyer at that price is going to be a big challenge....he would be better off waiting a couple years

anything is possible....although Id be surprised if a 20 year old machine that is bone stock with no upgrades is worth $8300....the only way to know is list the game is see where the chips fall
