I didn’t see any provenance listed. It would be hard to prove later on that this was actually his machine

This item comes with a Prop Store Certificate of Authenticity.

Could be a pricey collectable ---- hammer price + 25% buyers prem + state tax + shipping

Interesting he had one, he didnt do any audio for the game only scottie and mccoy. His “live long and prosper” quote in attract mode is done laughably bad by somebody else.

I thought this was for sale last month complete with the set of ears he wore in his last Star Trek movie.

I was in when the ears were included but now I'm out!!!

After nine days, I was finally outbid. Was great to live the dream for even that long. May the winner be someone else here on pinside. Good luck!!

About $9000 all in plus shipping?

Not bad I suppose. It’s an Huo game and it was Leonard Nimoys.

Yeah... It looks like it was $9375 after premium, but before sales tax. I had gotten a quote from them: ~$1000 for it to be crated, or else they would just take the legs off and strap it to a pallet. Then they said FedEx freight added another $2000 on top of that, if they had shipped to new York...

Ended up outside of my limit, but I'm glad it's finding a new home!

FYI if they were willing to do YRC freight (who would pick it up at their dock) they would charge around $500 for the exact same service if you could pick it up at their local terminal.
$2000 is crazy.

NIIIIICE that would have been far more reasonable. Hope the buyer went with that option!

When I won Dio's couch, the auction company wanted to charge $1300 to ship it.

I went with NAVL for $650. Was surprised because that's more than it costs to ship two pinball machines but whatever it was a good deal considering.
