Quoted from Bud:Why is it that if this was a fresh HEP, nobody would have a problem with a price tag well above the mentioned prices here?
I would say most people would say anything less than $9k would be a bargain for a fresh HEP NGG. After all, isn't the point of a restoration to bring an item back to its former glory and be like new again?
You can't get any closer to like new other than a NIB pin, or NOOB pin.
Also, who in their right mind would buy a 20 year old pin without opening the box for inspection? It's not a big deal, especially if you don't set it up or play it, just put it back the way it came out. Who knows how it was stored or moved around. I would not spend thousands on a sealed heavy box and just hope for the best and take the sellers word on its condition.
Open box does not make it a used pin, it make it a NIB that was opened to have condition verified. Set up and played makes it no longer NIB.
NOOB is a new pin that has been set up and played a few times or used as a display. How much of a discount will a stern dealer give you on a NOOB pin, a $100-$200?
That's because HEP games are actually better than NIB.
Although I still think it would be extremely difficult to get 9k out of a HEP NGG.
