Quoted from dung:It takes a special buyer at 5k to justify paying 2k more for one with no wear though. This isn't something that would be a fast sell
Theres more to this market than you know.
Quoted from RCA1:Can't believe some jerk operator installed a lock bar across the coin door.
I'm with you,the first thing I should do is rip that sucker off and putty the holes. 
Quoted from Gnatty:9 plays and specs all over the glass! You sure spit a lot while playing!
Thats not spit. 
Quoted from stretch2:Are you keeping or selling ?
I have not decided what I'm doing with it.
Quoted from dung:There is no value in obtuse statements
You are correct,Kettle 
Quoted from dung:Besides you are biased considering you are the one who posted this.
Not really biased ,I know what it was worth to me.more interested in other peoples opinions.
Quoted from dung:Nothing special about it since you took it out of the box.
Quoted from xTheBlackKnightx:because you took it out if the box,
Who said I took it out of the box.
Quoted from xTheBlackKnightx:If you didn't, someone did, and the cost reduction is still relevant.
"It was opened on week ago." (Implies it could be yours)
"I have not decided what I'm doing with it." (Implies it is yours, unless you bought it with another)
Photos show the game set up and ready to go anyway.
Why even ask this specific question?
If you are selling if for yourself great, if for another, that is fantastic, if you decide to keep it even better.
This is just a bit of price phishing for knowledge in order to sell it, and I provided it from my personal expertise, as did others.
Whatever you do, enjoy the find.
Personally, I would keep it, it will be worth more in the long run for you.
I know I have several friends who purchased this game as closeouts and one just sold theirs for very good money.
Their price was $3500 NIB (shipped), however in 1998.
Just to clarify,I did not open it.
It does belong to me now.
I asked the question out of curiosity.
I honestly have not decided what I'm doing with it.(most likely enjoying it).
Quoted from Jesterfunhouse:I met you at Allentown a few years back
Good times 
Quoted from dung:It is not *rare*. If you have a handful of collectors in your area chances are that half of them half TAF. LOTR? Great game, and always hear how hard it is to find one
I know a shitload of collectors,can't say any of them have a Bally/ William game with less then 10 plays on it.I have heard of two other in box NGG"s out there so I guess its not all that rare 
Quoted from BoJo:your constant price policing and it gets old
I rather enjoy when Dung gets on his soapbox.
Quoted from dung:10 plays on a NGG. Still not as nice as a hep NGG.
It is still 20 years old and still has aged. It is still a reflection of williams quality at the time. It is not some magically sealed time capsule and in some respects is not that different than other low huo machines that have been stored well.
I wish I could afford a soap box to stand on, but according to some on here I am just too cheap to afford it. Guess I better go pay 1300 for unshopped broken 6803 Ballys to regain my standing in the pantheon of price pumpers.
I have never made the comparison of HEP to this . Chris takes games to a whole new level.
I also never called you cheap. But I must admit you sure do get butt hurt when people like Whysnow or myself challenge you on price. Take a chill pill
BTW you cant buy my unshopped broken 6803 Ballys they are not for sale. 
So here's a bit of an update. NGG made it home. Turns out it has a whopping 6 plays on it. The pin is gorgeous ! Ive gone ahead and put leg protectors on it. I am leaning towards keeping it. I have yet to play a game on it but that will change. I took a few pictures for those interested in what a 20 year old new pin looks like.
