Quoted from ForceFlow:What is up with all the TSPP's going up for sale lately?
There's 10 of them up in the marketplace, with 3 more ended ads:

I'm used to seeing one every so often, but it looks like everyone is trying to get rid of them simultaneously.
Folks wanting in on Deadpool?
There are a TON of them out there.

One of the more highly produced Stern games of that era, lots went into home collections and hence lots can still be found in really nice condition.
It is a super long playing game and can be tedious to even hit start.
Simpsons are finally dated and seem old (both the show and the pinball). Game is 15 years old now.
Prices on new Stern games have risen so much that people are selling off older stuff just to fund new stuff.
Top it off that you can still find HUO examples for $4500 and it seems like a bargain compared to 5300 plus for a new Stern.
