Quoted from Aurich:IMHO you'll get more for it selling it solo than packaging it in with the game. But yeah, some mods have value and demand, and that's one of them for sure.
Decals on your game or something? Not so much. And obviously I think custom decals on Sterns are awesome and worth buying! But that kind of thing just doesn't hold value, it's really only about making you happy when you look at your game.
Yes, I was being a bit facetious becuase KNOW that topper is worth every penny I paid for it- maybe more.
In general, I agree with your assessment on mods. However, some mods are just perfect for a game and will retain value. For ACDC I consider that topper one of them, the canon mod is another one.
Hell, there's some mods that I would almost value MORE than cost becuase I wouldn't have to install them myself .
Other stuff, like the drum mods, the diverted flasher mods, etc- I have them but don't expect they do much for value.
The pinnovators pinpac mod- well I guess I could just swap it out as it works with any recent Stern game. In fact, maybe I'm better off pulling that out, selling the topper separately as well, and just focussing on selling the base machine (with shaker)....
