$3700-$3900. Fast Ed?

I gave mine up (HUO, LED's, ramp protectors, probably about 2000 plays) for $3800 in trade value a few months ago. I'd buy it back at that price, so that's the value to me anyways.

There was a time when they were honestly $3600, but I think it's fair to think they got a bump when they stopped being made. Fact is you can't buy them NIB anymore, and under $4k for a way to get an ACDC that's still great, even though it's not the Premium ... that's got some compelling juice.

Put me down as $3700-$3900 too.

You couldn't even pry my pro in exact condition as the OP is looking for for that low. We'll see but this game is just as good as the premium, so don't kid yoyrselfs.

Someone in the Chicago area has a low play HUO in premium trim for sale at $5485.....or pro trim at $4885. Its been listed for a couple months.
I'm a potential buyer of a pro even though a premium is my preference. My interest drops off at prices over $4K. I still see the biggest detriment to this pin as the face of Angus on the playfield. Not an issue for some....others think it looks like it was beat with an ugly stick. I know one sees little of it during game play.....it still is butt ugly.

The game is just as good as the premiums but it doesn't look or sound quite as good -hence the price. I've considered an ACDC pro, and my price point would be right at $4k to be interested. It's a great game, but it's got some competition with other recent sterns to contend with.

Under $4k is about right and the ACDC Pro is still better than most of the games Stern has released the past few years (it's that good). When I was in the hunt for ACDC, I set my mind on the first local machine that came up...didn't matter which kind it was. Happened to be a Luci but I would have been just as happy with a pro (and have more money to spend later)

Here's my $3700 Pro.

NO. And many will disagree with me (because I have said this many times before)....adding LED lights do not add value to the machine. Like adding stuff to a car, then expecting more for trade-in (and we are not talking about expensive things, as LED bulbs are cheap). Some argue....(use whining voice) "well it took a couple hours of my time to install them". Pssshhh, I put LEDs in mine, advertise them with LED's, then make a comment how that doesn't affect price on my own machine I am selling.

^^^^^^^This

I'd set my LED Pro on fire and watch it burn to the ground before giving it up for x < $4000. Bought it NIB from Tilt Amusements for $4800 as the prices started creeping up in February. Added the Pinball Refinery Canon with LEDs, ACDC Premium 3D train, 2 pre-amped equalizers with the external subwoofer and new speakers throughout the machine (no "kit" either - this was all hand-selected), installed El-Glo wires on the TNT box, Bass drum mod on the right ramp, shooter lane/ball eject/in lane cliffys, devil horns on top, and the ColorDMD.

Look, I get it, the "omg I can buy a game, play it, and then ask for $1000 more than what I paid for" days are over, but let's be a bit realistic here....don't expect to get the tastefully modded games like a treasure for a song.

Can I take it off your hands for $3700?

My comment was tongue in cheek. I'm in waaaaay past $3700. My point was that ACDCs have price points all over the place. As with all things, condition and timing are key.

And no, I'm not selling.

I just sold a Star Trek for $1000 less than I bought it for, because those are the days that I feel like are here now. That's with sales tax and shipping mind you, I think my price was fair, but I still "lost" that much on the sale.

Mods are what they are. Worth it to some people, not to others. My game had my translite and decal package, the Refinery custom light board, and a shaker motor. Buyer and I agreed that a $200 bump over normal market for all that was fair. Would it cost more to buy all that yourself? Sure. So it goes, you're never gonna recover all your mod money.

Modded out pro kicks some ass. One of sterns greatest machines. Premium is cool, but the modded out pro with shaker and and amp is pretty mean machine.

Get it if you can. Don't lose it over an extra $200 or so.

I don't think you will find too many HUO ones at less than $4K - modded or not. Lots of buyers below $4K, still plenty of buyers in the low 4s depending on mods.

You and I are in agreement. I'm just saying if someone thinks they're taking my $4800 NIB HUO game with that many mods off my hands for sub-$4000, I'm going to write a reality check that some people's emotional banks won't be able to cash.

I sold my pro for 3,600.00 and it took 3 weeks to sell it. It had 125 games on it and the bell mod and both ramp stickers. When it did finally sell the price police started wineing about it. ( to high or to low ) you just can't please the price police, so then I call the waaaaambulance! Ed

Ed, you bring this up all the time. This was a year ago maybe? You sold it at a price you felt was fair, and the buyer got a good deal. I know there were some folks who cried foul, but it's your game.

I'm Starting to see the price climb because you can't get this game NIB anymore. I would expect it to be around 4k now

What took you so long to post? I got a little worried for a moment.

I paid $4k for my Pro in November of 2013. I doubt that the price has gone up on them since then. It's not made anymore but the fact is a lot of Sterns aren't made anymore and you don't usually see those rising in price, not the Pro models anyway. Everyone also wants the Premium. $3600 - $3900 seems reasonable to me, with the high end having some extra features (LEDs, mirror blades, etc). I think it's still a good game but it is missing a little bit of the charm without the extra Premium bling.

Offer $4000 and if not pay the $4200 and get it done. If it is local even better. Just do it!

I'd say 4K or so. Love my pro to death (I added a few touches), she's a keeper!!!

$4200 is a pretty good buy IMO. Mine would be higher if I was selling but I'm a proud owner and have 2 others that would go first.
