Monster Bash
Williams, 1998I've been interested in a MB for awhile. Of course, when I was looking at them 2 years ago they were $3-4k. I know that's not the case anymore so I'm asking for a general price check in 3 different conditions:
-Routed
-Avg Non-Routed
-HUO
Thanks!

Wow, wish I knew of your market 2 years ago.
What's the difference between avg non routed and huo?
Doesn't non routed equal HUO?
Seems everybody wants at least $10k for them now -- regardless of them being routed or not.
It's a good game, but it sure as hell aint THAT good.
What I meant:
-Routed meaning recently on location for commercial use, work needs to be done, wear present
-Non-routed meaning off location for quite awhile, work done to it for a minor restoration to get it up & running, light wear
-HUO meaning just that...straight out of the box and never seen the light of day beyond your own basement window. Little to no wear whatsoever. Mint/near mint.
I have a routed, off route a long time ago, nice condition, plays perfect that I would sell for $7800. Minimal drac trac wear, some pit wear but has cliffy, and some leg wrinkles like all non-restored ones have.
I was not inclined to sell it but THLE is going to set me back a bit.

I personally recall MB's selling pretty easy for $5-6K around me 2 years ago, and you are nearby. Wish I would have seen the machines you passed on.

You just need to sell that Dr Who to someone in Chicago.

I agree, MB was selling for $5k to $6k two years ago.
I think minimum price now for one that needs a decent amount of work/restoration will be $6k. A nice one with minor issues would be $8k or so, and HUO $11k.
Prices on this title will only be going up. You see more AFMs and MMs for sale than you do MBs.
7.5k-8k for a good one with small cosmetic flaws.
2008 bought mine off of Ebay for 4200. Very nice one.
2007 could of had one for 3500 from a local vendor. Heavy Drac Track wear and Mosh Pit wear. Would have bought it, but there were no playfield reproductions yet, so I waited for one in better condition.
Quoted from DCfoodfreak:Ok no more talk about the Monster Bashes. Lets just move on here ; )
Are you afraid we're going to drive the price up with all this talk? 
Bought mine a little over 2yrs ago in the high 4's. Had a chance at another one for 4500 a month later. They were out there, but it's all over now. I haven't seen one listed anywhere for under 7k in quite a while.

You know for the money I have a hard time parting with Dr Who. Its worth $1800 max and I would rather have the machine than the money.
But I would not pay over $1800 for one either...
Quoted from smassa:I'll be unwrapping mine in a few hours. Can't wait to get some games in on it.
Pics or it didn't happen. 
Congrats!!! DougPiranha and I are working it out on his so I will join the club soon. Also officially the pin that pissed my wife off. 6 or 7 she understood but 8... Oh no!!! Flipped out.

I thought you were Mr. "I only buy new games"?
