Depends on how much PPS charges for the remake. The originals were plagued by cloudy inserts backglass wear where the ball bounces against it, and wear around the big hole. Other than that they held up pretty well, and replacements for the neon tube were available.

Its tough to judge how these things are going to work out with the remakes coming out. Good luck with your decision. Its a neat game and a brand new one will be even prettier to look at.

If I was selling that CV, I would reject that trade offer without even countering.

(Based on $4500ish value for Tron, not my opinion of the game.)

Is a remake of CV actually been announced, or is it just speculation?

Speculation. PPS might even do a poll to see what most people want next. It would seem that CV would be near the top of the list though, and certainly higher up than TZ or TAF since so many of them are out there and available. Most guess that CC will be next from what I have heard, but many other think it will be AFM.

But its only a matter of time before CV happens since its so different and not many were made. Were they not "clearing them out" near the same time as MM?

This. To your original question Dbaum, I don't know that I'd want to pay more than 6000-7000 for a cirqus Voltaire in the condition you describe. Of course, I played this game a fair amount back in the day and never really had the boner for it that some around here seem to.

Depends on the Tron and timing and location etc, but they sure aren't moving north of $5k. If I was trading I sure wouldn't let the value go higher than that. Then again I think most CVs I see for sale right now are overpriced and won't move at that, so hey.

I also doubt a PPS remake of CV is coming any time soon, if ever, personally.

I wouldn't think much more than $7000 for a nice example. I haven't seen in person the one being advertised here that's in ATL. That said, $9000 seems like crazy money for that title. I'm cheap though and missed out on a proto CV back in 01 cause I didn't want to give the guy $1400. So I may be an idiot.

For a nice one, that seems like it's in the right ballpark to me. I'd probably try to talk 'em down to valuing it around 6 or a bit less and work the trade from there. Cirqus Voltaire and Monster Bash? That's the big leagues brother!

I just gave $7000 for a nice one. I love it. What a great game.

I have a sample CV and it would take $7500 for me let it go!

I have sold 2 really nice CV's in the last couple months for $8-9k each

Wow! Who would of thought that a CV would be selling for more than a MM.

That's a good trade. I think CV is a $6k+- range game, so it seems fair with a little bit in favor to you.

Nice condition CV is around $7,000.

Where are you seeing $8,000 MMs?

There is a sub-$8k one on the market now.

I would guess around $6500-7000 for CV.

lol - nice one.

I would personally not pay as much if someone powder coated everything on this machine, as it seems to get the most god awful ugly combinations of colours in out there. If they all came original with these colours, everyone would be shelling out tons to mod them to stainless steel.

In original state, I would say about $6,500-$7,500, but condition and location with these more expensive machines is a big factor.

Sold a fully chromed one for $8k end of 2013.

Since CV tends to be one of those love it or hate it type machines, I have found that once you get pricing up above the 6500 price point it needs to be fairly tricked out (tastefully) to get any nibbles from buyers or it tends to sit there for quite some time.

Plus a lot of long term collectors tend to have very good memories and can still remember them on closeout for $1900........

Remake pre orders don't count.

As I recall it was a '97 one but I didn't look at it closely.

It wasn't a remake preorder, it is/was a real 1997 MM that I had for sale. I got it as part of a package deal with some other pins and it's a pretty nice game. I had it listed for almost a week at 8900 with no takers, then dropped it to 7900 which got people interested and sold with the buyer paying $500 to ship it cross country. I didn't price it high to have it sit around and make conversation, I priced it to sell and the buyer got a deal.

I bought a nice HUO CV last year for $6700. Very little ghosting on the inserts, clean, LED's, cabinet about an 8.5. It felt like a good price.

I love my Tron pro and it's not going anywhere. But if I was trading a Tron pro for a CV, I would expect to have to put about $2000-2500 with it. Sounds like you've got yourself a good deal.

CV really blings with a chrome kit and LEDs. Sounds like a few guys have been getting some decent deals on them lately...congrats!
