Big nope

It’s a great game. I love my premium.
However, 9K is friggin’ nuts.

I actually really like Mustang especially with the cool music. For 9k though easy pass maybe find a premium or pro instead.

It's kind of flat but everytime I played it was fun. I think it has some throwback 90s W/B humor which is nice.

9K? Fuck no.

So why ask the question if you are going to disagree?

At the moment people are asking stupid prices for any pin.

If its still sitting around NIB after 5 years or whatever that gives you an idea how good or in demand the game is.

Someone keeps trying to sell a HUO premium in the Denver area, they put the add up for awhile and then it expires. Either it sold finally or it will be up again soon, you could try putting a wanted ad up on Denver craigslist and see if they reach out.

one of sterns ugliest games, but arguably one of the most fun. I enjoyed the few times I've played it. 9k is definitely high, but again its NIB. id look for a used premium.

Maybe $7200? Don't know for sure.

You’re trying to convince yourself. Dangerous behavior.

There are TWDLE's, GOTLE's, and such in the $9K range which everyone in this thread will say are better games, and a better LE package. Mustang is a fun game both Pro and LE, but for $9K you can get more elsewhere. I'd probably think Mustang LE would fetch about $7500-7800. So $9K is an overpay, but at least it's not a $20K JJP flip!

Also, definitely consider the Pro. It makes few concessions to the Prem/LE.

Go look at the market archives. There were two LEs listed in the last year with very low plays in the 6-7k range. It is unanimous that all of us think 9k is nuts but only you can determine what it is worth to YOU.

People overpay for tons of things to get instant satisfaction. If you are patient, you will find a near new Mustang LE and an extra 2K still in your pocket. "It's not all about how much you make but how much you keep..."

There are literally hundreds of pinball machines available that are a better deal than a 9k #mustang_le
The reason it's a stupid price is compared to what else is available for 9k you can do much better.
Of COURSE if you HAVE TO HAVE a #mustang_le you're going to have to play whatever price is asked because you can't just go buy one anywhere.

Kind of his schtik

sorry if I dont see the point of asking peoples opinion just so you can argue with them when they disagree with you.

Comparing Pirates the most in demand to a game that is so low demand they are still around NIB from 5 years ago is a joke sorry.

how much you make, is definitely a factor.

True that! That's why I said "It isn't *ALL* about how much you make....". I know many people that have made less and are better off in the long term than those that made a lot and blew it all.

I'm one of the biggest Mustang fans around, but even I think that's overpriced. Then again on the other hand, it's getting to be an older game now with very few NIB still available. Like any game, the more the NIB supply dries up, the more it will increase in price. I'd say if you really, really want a NIB LE, you might not find a better deal. If it were me, I'd probably wait until a nice used one popped up. $9k would get you a much more desirable game that would hold its value better. With Mustang, you will lose $1.5-2k as soon as you open that box. BUT...you'd have a brand new Mustang LE. Only you can decide if that's more valuable to you than the money you'll lose if you sell it. It sounds like you'd rather have a HUO Premium, so in that case, I'd wait. Would be a different story if this one were a smoking deal, but it's not.

And I’m guessing the premium is worth close to a grand more than the LE, assuming both are HUO and in great shape.

If you pay 9k for that I have a WWE NIB I would take 11k for.

WWE belongs in a museum as a historical masterpiece since it's the first Spike game. Worth 11k all day every day.

I'm going to buy it and flip it for an easy K.

Seriously though, how long has it been on the market? That's usually a good indicator.

I had a pro for awhile and loved it. Great rules and variety. You could get one for under $5k easily. And spend the rest on something else or save. Not worth that extra $4k for this game. What do you get? A couple of drop targets and the rotating car??? Shaker and different art? Pfft.

I can’t recommend spending that much for one, but I also wouldn’t sell my Mustang LE for 9k just because there’s nothing out there I like better to replace it with. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s a great pin with different modes and a lot of humor that they didn’t make many of.

I liked Mustang Pro. I had one and it is the all time perfect game to pick your own music with pinball browser. I had some fun classic rock on mine.

I’ve always wanted an LE. I dislike the Premium art so I’ll hold out. One day I’ll find one at a good price.

The most fun I ever had on Mustang was a pro on location that had all the music replaced with completely random stuff. Alice in chains, smokey and the bandit, random pop song, was a hoot trying to uncover it all.

9K for an LE is a bit much IMHO, get a pro for half that.

This is one of those games I would like to have hoping for a low price. I like the game, so would buy if the price is right. However, I'm priced out on most modern games so I can have a low expecation list for the right money.

BIG yes (as long as you like the theme of course).

VERY fun game (especially the Premium/LE versions) and HIGHLY underrated!

Everything is nuts right now. As long as the fed will print money and hand it out like cheap candy prices will go up. When reality sets in and the government tightens the money supply we are in for some big corrections. For now, take the 9k and buy 1/4th of a bitcoin. It will be worth $250k in a few years.

Well, $9k looks cheap now for an LE. Funny how things change. Will be interesting to look back in a year.

No, its still crazy

Sure is.
I’ve got the premium and in my mind it’s a 6K machine, but I’m. To selling regardless.

Oh, I agree it is all crazy, but if you look at the market Mustang LE is a deal. The game is actually very fun to play and is challenging also. Probably the most underrated LE machine ever made. I was pleasantly surprised when I played it for the first time.

Premiums will be more than $9,000

To each their own. Wish I had still one. Ended up selling my LE a few years ago for what would be a bargain today.

I found the machine to be pretty boring, especially the pro. Not enough variety in the pro compared to the Premium/LE (4 additional songs, more modes, more parts). Even then the Premium/LE gets pretty dull after a few games.

Sounds like you need to play better o you can appreciate all the depth this game has to offer.

I can play just fine with average scores in the 50 million range on the machine. Something just doesn't click with me on it that's all.

Different strokes for different folk I guess.
