It seems this would be a pretty rare game since it's mint, one owner and HUO. It even comes with original sales receipt from 1980 and all paperwork.
Thoughts?

Quoted from Dooskie:Could we see a picture of the sales receipt. Always fun to look at stuff like that.
You can sort of see the receipt in the carboard box, in the first pic I posted. If I buy the game, I will surely post a better pic of it.
Thanks guys. Im excited to have bought it. I paid a more than I expected to but i think theres still a little meat on the bone... if i ever decide to sell it.
The pics I've posted ao far are all I currently have. I've not seen the game in person yet as it was a long distance puchase. I will get it shipped to my home asap and get some better pics.
Due to the new SI arrival, I've decided to sell my current SI. It's here https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/41437
The Rowe Ami 100CD jukebox is also for sale. Comes full of cds - $5k

Quoted from Rondogg:I see a Rolling Thunder. My favorite game growing up. Very rare to see one!
Good eye! Tough but fun game. It's a keeper... for now anyway.
Quoted from jibmums:Lotta nice goodies there. What's the thing with the picture of the backglass on it? Too small to be a flyer.
It was part of an ad that was in a 1980 magazine that was cut out and put in the owners manual. There's a date on the backside.

Quoted from vid1900:That did not take long......
I'm just throwing it out there. That's my "it's not for sale price". If someone wants a really nice huo Si, there's only one choice. Yes I guess I am technically the 2nd owner. The auction house didn't OWN it or allow anyone to play it. They simply sold it for the seller. The value is in the HUO label, provenance & condition, not how many owners it's had.
Quoted from jibmums:Having just cleaned up a few Bally coindoors, I don't recall ever seeing this piece screwed into this bracket. What is it?
That is a button to add credits to the game. I have not seen it in another bally either.

Quoted from Mike_J:Agreed, that's an "I'm keeping this game forever." kind off price.
I sold it for $7000 today. I guess I am not keeping it forever. 
Quoted from TigerLaw:Wow! Was it to a Pinsider?
No I didn't list it here. It went to an ebay buyer in Az.
Quoted from ReplayRyan:Where else but Pinside can you ask people about the value of something, have it shipped in, put new rubbers on it and sell it for $5000 more than the consensus value, all within a month. God Bless Pinside. God Bless America.
Pinside/rs was way off on the value. As was I. I knew it was valuable but didn't expect $7k. This game will probably come up for sale again in 20 or 30 years. Imagine an HUO si in 2046! How cool will that be. I bet it brings $20k then.
Quoted from TigerLaw:Are you keeping the one you had previously now?
No, it's going to my brother in Maine. It'll be his 1st pin!
I'll find another one eventually.
