Weird MM is always the example for a bubble;.. for like 10 years now ? That's not a bubble in my book

Anyway as long as NIB Sterns keep on increasing in price and collectors are crazy enough to pay those prices, A list games will increase together.

Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:

My reasoning being is I will not be purchasing a 5K to 12K 20 year old pin when I can buy a new or newer one (that I haven't played 100+ times before) for the same or less.

My opinion is totally different: why would I pay 5K for a Stern that has not proven itself yet, is unknown if it'll be a great, good or not even average game, that may drop significant in price once it's not NIB anymore..
Buy for the same money a proven A-title (in good/restored condition) which is for years on top of everyones wish list, you know what to expect (rules/depth/.. are known), and it will hold its value probably better (as it hasn't dropped over the last years in value) ?

Yes I was talking about buying nib (le) pins.
To me a tspp or lotr are already proven Alist titles.

And prices here in Europe are still different than the usa so our point of view will always be different.
A TZ or taf here is about 2000, cv totan mb afm around 3500 and mm 5500. All good but not cq.
A nib pro stern is almost 5000 and le is 7500 euro..
