If you think original MM's have "already taken whatever hit they are going to take" and wont drop further when they remakes actually start hitting the streets, you are smoking crack.

When deliveries start and in a year or two when used remakes are available, originals will fall even further. I wouldn't doubt that remakes will settle around $5000 on the used market with originals going for maybe $1000 more if that. Mark my words.

Why does it matter who I am? I am a person making a prediction. You should mark my words to save me from the inevitable "Told you so" post. I also predicted a 25% correction in the overall market due to the remake and the over saturation caused by new machines at high prices. I'd say that one has come true to a degree. There's even more room for games to drop.

Why is there nothing like the original? The remakes are going to be just like an original, only improved.

These games were hoarded as trophies and that led to the inflated prices. Now players are getting their chance to afford one and that just hurts people who are in the hobby for the wrong reasons(profit)

Bring on all the remakes - CC, AFM, whatever. How in the hell anyone can consider more games for more people at lower prices to be bad is beyond me.

I love how restored MM's are considered "original" when almost all the parts used in restoration are reproductions. Ha.

Screw you.

Before the remake, how much were MM?

Yeah, $8000 is a lower price.

I agree with this. If people knew they were going to be made endlessly, $8000 would never have been the price. I would bet 6-7.

I agree. I really can't stand that that has become the baseline. I really am praying that the market just collapses.

These games were built to be PLAYED. The cheaper they are, the more people can enjoy them. Bring it on.

That's another thing I hate - "LE" crap

The only reason those tiers were created was to milk as much cash as possible out of the wealthier collectors who drove up the prices of the machines to begin with. Literally the only reason. Stern saw the aftermarket and wanted a piece for himself. Can't blame him but man what a bummer.
