Rush (Pro)
Stern, 2022Wow, a Rush pro is $6700 before tax and shipping. Stern has officially jumped the shark, I think. https://cointaker.com/products/rush-pro-pinball-stern
The premium now costs what the LE's used to cost. 
And the LE's are of course sold out to speculators who know they'll rise in value.
Is this because of the banning auction prices?
Quoted from Multiballmaniac1:I think a pro should be 7k. Get them shekels Gary!
Report violations don’t respond to them
If "Fly-By-Night" is part of the soundtrack, they can keep the game. Inflated price and all....
on edit, damn it is.....
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Lol it’s funny cause Gary is a Jew
So glad you are back. One of pinside’s finest.
You brought up race/religion. I’ll change it to pennies. Snowflake.
Quoted from Multiballmaniac1:You brought up race. I’ll change it to pennies. Snowflake.
Jew isn’t a race and your reputation precedes you.
Everybody knows what you meant. Don’t be such a snowflake and own it, it’s never been a problem for you before.
Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:Well, the good news is your 30 games are worth a lot more now. So sell one and call it even
Clearly he's hurting for 200 bucks or whatever.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Jew isn’t a race and your reputation precedes you.
I have an excellent reputation. Read my reviews.

when you get to the pearly gates, i'm sure Peter's decision will be based solely on your Pinside feedback.

Donald, is that you?
Quoted from JohnTTwo:I have always wondered why pros are such a deal and thought they have a lot of room to raise prices on pro's my guess is this is just the start. The gap between pro's and LE's will tighten up in the future.
Dude, the gap has been growing for years even as the Pro prices have grown. It is now almost 100%.
Pros are cheaper to get some out on location to drive interest and Premium sales, and they still make money.
Quoted from Black_Knight:Guys, take it somewhere else...
I’m fine. I seriously didn’t mean anything that he was implying. Case closed. I have many Jewish friends and we say shekels all the time. He twisted it. My apologies if taken offensive.

It's a bargain in today's pinball market. Buy one now for $7K and sell it for more used 6 months later because of supply chain issues. Pretty much every modern Stern game from the past 18 years sells more used than it originally cost NIB.
Quoted from theadicts77:Donald, is that you?
You went political. Be prepared for the hand swat.

Sales on LE's seemed a bit week for RUSH I mean guys could find them at MSRP today.
Quoted from NashtyFunk:6700 is under MSRP isn’t it? Sounds like a bargain.
MSRP says $6899. $6700 is the new "you got a deal" street price.

Any pinball buyer/collector knows that is not the case. Not with pros and not with premiums. Sellers try but those games don't appreciate.
It's only the case with the LE's because they sell out so fast and are so limited in production. They're not any better than a premium but they're more sought after for their collectability factor.

They may not appreciate, but certainly don't lose value. I haven't seen many Godzilla Pro's being sold for less than MSRP.
Quoted from acedanger:Nobody here has a god damn sense of humor just a bunch of old rich fat whiny whiteys!!
thats reverse racism. Had you said "old rich fat whiny blackies"... you'd be banned for life and pinside would be on the news and probably TMZ for being a racist forum.
Quoted from Norcalpin:They may not appreciate, but certainly don't lose value. I haven't seen many Godzilla Pro's being sold for less than MSRP.
Thats because the newness hasn't worn off. Give it 6 months and have another look.
Quoted from acedanger:Damn!! that be a whole lot of shekels my Ninjas!!
LOL. love it
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Jew isn’t a race and your reputation precedes you.
It's an ethnicity and a religion for any other children out there....

Full disclosure: I bought a GB pro in May for $5700 and sold it in October for $6800. All because Stern increased prices, low supply, high demand, etc.
Bottom line, right now they ARE appreciating. Just like used cars jumping 38% in one year.

You bought a GB pro NIB in may 2021 for $5700?
Quoted from d0n:Thats because the newness hasn't worn off. Give it 6 months and have another look.
Alright find me a Premium or Pro, Deadpool, GOTG, GB, Iron Maiden etc. For under their original MSRP. These are all older games selling for higher than original MSRP prices.
Quoted from d0n:... Rush pro is $6700 before tax and shipping. The premium now costs what the LE's used to cost.
Yep. It does seem crazy but a lot of prices increased since inflation. I remember paying around $6200 a few years ago for my new in the box Metallica premium.
Quoted from acedanger:Damn!! that be a whole lot of shekels my Ninjas!!
“What in the wide wide world of sports is a going round here, y’all jumping around like a bunch of Kansas City rabbits”. -Blazing Saddles (almost)
Quoted from Jaybird815:Haven’t these price increases been known for months now?
Yeah, but just seems to be realized. Bahaha

You forgot Stranger Things...
