Man - I wish I didn't have that same problem.
I just compressed a shelf in the garage so I could fit the ST:MU next to my ST:LE.
Sigh

Got a ballpark price in mind?

Bigdaddy is a rad dude. Helped me get my Frankenstein right before I moved away.

Where's your arcade? Love to check it out. If you decide to consider trades I'll talk to the wife about our decked out St pro plus cash.

I personally think you should get around $,8500. However, the market is pretty crowded. That being said, this is one of the best games I've ever played. No love for Stern, Metallica, and not embarrassed to be wrong.

I just love this freaking game. SO much fun. Which is what it's ALL about.

Man, that's a cool machine. Bust that bitch open and start playin'!

I've been a pretty vocal hater of the LE model, but even I caved and bought a METLE, it's just too cool of a machine. Best art package of the models, and the mirrored backglass is sweet. No regrets at all.

I'd say realistically speaking a HUO is worth low 7's, no one is paying high or 8 for it. NIB is always a different game, but it's about finding someone who wants to open their own, untouched.

I had 2 nib games - the one I bought when they came out - and then somebody got tired of waiting for the code - so I bought it as an investment to either sell or trade - here comes all the thumbs down - I even told the seller I was buying it even though I have one already. I told him I was hoping it would go up in value when the new code came out.

code came out and I sold it about 2 months ago for 8500.

I still have the other one and hope to open it soon - or if somebody makes a crazy offer it goes and I buy a huo one

so out here in the northeast one was recently sold for 8500 without advertising it - thanks ed

I think Bryan Kelly had to take his HUO low play one to 7 - or is this a different model? http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-trade-metle

I really want one of these and am local, just don't know if I can swing it - I don't really have room either so need to get rid of some pins. Anyone want some wedge heads, like El Dorado or Pro-Football, both clean and working 100%? Or some early Solid State - a nice Gottlieb Torch, or a Bally Eight Ball?

Edit: posted some for sale on Craigslist, lets make some room for a MET.

My trade offer stands at 2 EMs , 2 early SS, and one System 11 + cash. Good luck, I'd like to buy it but really need to trim down the collection before buying anything. Selling pins in our area has been tough this month.

If a nearly top 10 game can't fetch $7K NIB then what does that say for future machines fetching $8K+ per pop?

Man, I really wish I could "trade up" on this, but my wife doesn't like the MOPLE cabinet art! BLEARGH!!!

OOOF - that's why I want this one! The playfield has enough DD for me, Master for the win.

What??!! The LE cabinet art is the best of all of them, along with the mirrored backglass. Best art package of all the Metallica pins by far, tell her to look again!

Hell, just tell her to look the other way!

Any interest in an Avengers LE Blue plus cash going your way with me doing the delivery and pick up?

She likes the Skittles cabinet better ? She's not a real Metallica fan.

It's not the backglass.. it's specifically the cabinet. She just prefers the brighter colors.

I'm not a real Metallica fan. I like the skittles cabinet too, so I guess Stern did a good job there, eh? =Þ

A month late or I would have bought it. I had a metallica premium modified out of the box and was 8k delivered. Its where I imagine or out of the box. Got that purple powder coat trim package on it and the purple powder apron few other things that complete it. Iam happy with how it turned out and I went this way cuz Its a keeper forever, heck, I bought a plastic kit for it for the future. Good luck with sale!

Aurich is right! METLE, MOPLE, or whatever you want to call it....it is freekin awesome! I have had it since it first came out and it just keeps getting better and better. I just love this pin as well!

Dang. needed this to stay a little longer. Hoping the buyer is local in order to keep supply up around here.

I meant to say, Congrats!

Hehe. I know the feeling btw.

I just got my first pin and all it makes me want to do is get another one to vary the game play.

This is gonna be addicting, but I am gonna try to keep it to 5 pins and under.

Keyword: "try"

I bought my first two the same day. Thought that would be plenty! Now 16 and 2 or three more on the way. Most of us r addicts.....

I went from 1 to 18 in the first year, and that's a "net" number since I also sold a few during that year. good luck keeping it in check!

I would claim success at this if we hadn't just gone back up to 5, which is the record we've ever managed to attain at once....we don't even have room to set up a fifth, as far as I can tell. But yeah, 28 in three years starting with just barely cobbling together money for a 500$ space, to three NIBs, and Tron #2 might as well have been the condition it's in.. We're doing pretty good!

I would swear that we had six at one time! Three set up, two folded up sitting in the space one would be, then another one on the other side of the room where we kept Doctor Who at. I think, anyways.

You're not helping. Find a place to set up Crescendo and I'll be genuinely impressed. Guess you're done for the night on Ingress since you're posting? =Þ

Down to 15!
