    I think everyone is overreacting. I think this doesn't really affect the value of the original MM machines. It's not like the new one is the same as the original. And, no, I don't own one. To me, this is no different than Stern putting out yet another $8000 machine. People will buy it and the market for individual machines will continue to be driven by demand. If anything, I think the high cost of ALL of the new machines has driven up the value of the so-called A-list and B-list machines as most people either cant afford the new games or would simply rather pay only $1500-$3000 for a really nice game. Anyway, surfnrg, if you want to get rid of that CC before it's too late, I'm over in Walden, NY.

    Just to follow up...case in point... what impact did Stern's IJ have on the Williams IJ? Exactly. Zero. Different machine. I didn't hear anyone complain that their Williams IJ value was killed when the Stern was released. Reason? Because it didn't happen. And it wont with MM either.

    Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:

    You cannot be serious with this post. Can you?

    I can be but I'm not. :wink:Just trying to bring a little levity to what some people are treating as Black Friday.

    Quoted from Anth:

    Apples and oranges. The Stern IJ is a completely different game than the original IJ. The MM remake is a near exact replica (I'm assuming). Would you pay $15k for a used game that you could buy NIB for half that? Neither would anyone else.

    Follow the posts. This was all tongue in cheek. Relax people. Its freaking pinball.<

    This is so interesting. I really don't care about the values because I don't have an old MM and I don't plan on getting a new one either. But for all the people complaining that this killed the value of old MM's and that they can't be worth over $8000 now because that's what the new will cost, I have yet to see one offered for sale for under $8000. Has anyone else?

    Quoted from Pugsley:

    One just did here at Expo for under 5K.

    Sure it did. Total bs
