I keep all my LE's in the boxes, wrapped in bubble wrap in crates lined with lead and outsides with golf leaf in an underground bunker 40 stories below in a pool of radioactive waste surrounded by sharks with freaking laser beams.

Quoted from SterlingRush:

If you have to ask, it shows you haven’t done your research
If you’re going to sell it as a NIB machine, then leave it boxed.
If not, then price should reflect it’s no longer new in box. Doesn’t matter what mods you put on it, as already mentioned, some people don’t care for mods. And what you think looks nice/horrible, will be viewed differently by someone else.

Cars drop 10k when you drive them off the lot right? So should pins

I got a BOGO deal on a Bond LE from Nambambu's Ogbono Soup Shack & Pinball Emporium. Seems like a nice guy but he really likes to go on about him being a prince, and there's some hoops you have to go through to get them, but at $6000 how can you say no?

That's beside the point though. Are you saying I should leave them in the boxes?

Quoted from gcr3579:

Couldn't find one at retail, and I know I was being jammed on the price. I honestly really love the Sean Connery Bond. If the price tanks, I'll still have a beaytiful pin with a theme I love. I just want to mod it and hate to devalue an LE by doing that. I should just stick with Pro's and go crazy on them I'm realizing. That's why I'm torn to leave it in the box fo a trade later or take it out and have my way with it.

Mods aren't going to devalue it. Just make sure they are not permanent and you keep any parts you replace. Just don't expect that someone is going to want to pay your pumped up price because 'all these mods'. Unless they were going to buy all those mods anyway, they aren't going to want them. It's really that simple.
