Hi.

I would be oh-so grateful to hear what you think is a fair sum to pay for the following pin, given today's market:

MOPLE, presently in someone's home collection but routed (5000 paid credits) prior to that.

There is the slightest wear on the perimeter of the Cliffy-less Mystery scoop. There is slight blistering in the mylar that surrounds both the Sparky and Gravemarker magnets. The magnets themselves show ample dimpling, while the hammer magnet looks much better. PF overall shows average dimpling and no wear areas, including in/outlanes. Colors seem bright/vivid. Cabinet is nice, with perhaps a little fade, but few if any scratches. Coin door has minimal scratches. Backglass is nice, along with the head decals and the silver edging. The only mods are speaker lights and under-cab lights. DMD is the monochrome original. Boards are fine/original and gameplay is fine (as far as I'm told).

I think it looks sharp, but "routed" is such a dirty word to so many collectors. I worry that I will struggle to sell it later without taking a bath when I disclose its history on location, etc. Indeed at least a few Pinsiders I've run this past have counseled me to "stay away!"

Any/all advice would be most appreciated!

(And yes, I posted a similar message on the MET Owners thread, although it drew just one reply.)
