Top of the market is probably what thepinballcompany.com is asking: $15,999

When the remake of MM came out, the $15k prices of the original dropped to what you could buy the remakes new out of the box, so I'd say your machine should be worth at least what a new remake machine is priced at... $8349.00 and up.

That's a pretty wide range! But if past performance determines future results, the worst time to try to sell your top tier vintage pinball is exactly when the remake is available new. You know... right now.

When the remakes are no longer in production and become really hard to get and the market settles down, it's possible that the $8349.00 remakes will sell for $15k. That happened to me with a Monster Bash SE remake lately. So give it five years or so, and you might have a top of the market pin.

But of course, what is something worth? What someone will pay for it.

I saw one for sale a few years ago at a show for $16k.

No idea if it sold, though. Also, no idea how the remakes affected the price on the originals (typically, the prices came down on the other remake titles), or how the sharp increase in pricing the last couple years affected this title.

I think all you can do is stick a high price on it with an OBO and see what the market will bear. There aren't a whole lot of sales figures available for this one.

I've seen a few IJTPA's list and sell in the $10k+ range

With that price point, I'm *almost* tempted to sell mine, but I'd probably never be able find another one.

Someone got $11K for a HUO one right when the remakes were announced. Took a few weeks to sell.

Since that initial frenzy Is over and the usual “man I wish it wouldn’t take 2 years to get one” thing has settled in, I would think they are worth a little more now.

Yeah some people ONLY want remakes but there’s plenty of people who will only
Accept and original as well.

Temporarily. Now, MM, AFM, and MB are higher than ever before.

There is one freshly listed on SF Bay CL right now for $10k.

None of the usual vultures have immediately jumped on it, but it has only been 4 days.

Seller needs to find a purist collector. The demand for an original has diminished.

I think the value of the originals, maybe with the exception of one with the continued package will not creep back up. There are new rules and objectives that won’t be available for the originals. I think that’s the difference between afmr and mmr which are original code. My two cents.

Refakes will never be worth as much as OG.

I still prefer original wms games because the ccg games look just different enough that they don’t match my memories from playing in the 90s. Silly I know

You aren’t going to get that much, at least now. Try again in about a year. An original will sell much easier if you have CCC installed.

Cactus Canyon may be the exception game where the remake becomes more desired than the original. I’m a purist and prefer originals to the remakes but CCr has enough changes where I think it may be better in the long run though if I had the room I would love to have both.

So after a week, this original HUO Cactus Canyon just had a significant price reduction. Currently listed for $9k.

Further update on CC price check.

The local ad has been running for almost 3 weeks now, and the game is still available.

Seller is now offering a bundle with Theater of Magic (very nice restored condition) and CC for $17k (FIRM). This would be $8500 per game, not bad.

The price may bounce back a bit for purists who like the authenticity of an original. But it's a smaller market for sure.
