Quoted from PanzerFreak:I think Spiderman originally sold for $4k (maybe even $3.7k) NIB in 2007. The CPI inflation calculator says that $4k in 2007 is the equivalent to nearly $4600 today...yet Spiderman Vault edition is going to be around $6500 from distributors. That goes to show just how much Stern has been taking people for a ride with many of their newer games that offer less then those from the POTC, Spiderman, LOTR, and TSPP era of games. All NIB pricing, not just Stern's, is nuts.
It likely sold for less then 3.7K since that is around what I paid and I was new to the NIB scene. I'm sure operators and people who purchased previous NIB's paid even less.
Quoted from Kkuoppamaki:I'm wondering when the market will saturate. Stern (with some help from others) is cranking up new pins like no tomorrow. Although there are more pinheads I doubt the market can continue digesting new pins at this rate, especially since the secondary market is doing pretty well too. The rising cost base will not help either, something has to give at some point. But when, that's a question above my pay grade
Luckily JJP takes years to make a game and Stern makes games like Mustang and WWF to keep that from happening.
Quoted from Mr68:I don't how many times people have left my home inspired to buy a game or have a game room.
Same here until they find out how much they cost.
Quoted from glasairpilot:Simple - prices will go down when pre-orders stop happening.
I don't see NIB prices going down till Stern gets some real competition. People want new stuff and the next new game, hence why many preorder even though they have concerns with the game. But you really have no others options beside Stern. You can go with JJP or PPS and wait an eternity to get your game or preorder a Stern knowing it will be delivered in a few months. Spooky is still a boutique manufacture with only doing 150 AMH and 300 RZ and heighway isn't making games at Sterns pace either. It's basically a monopoly and that's why Stern can charge what they want and people still line up to send them their money.
