Quoted from Riffbear:An original will always be with more. Re issues of any kind are usually very cheap.
For instance vinyl records.. Can be purchased for $20 but some of the original records are worth $400+
I'm surprised that this MM remake is so expensive. But then again I have no idea what the costs involved are. All I know is that this hobby is getting way to expensive in the NIB market now. Esp the LE's that Stern produce.</So the Originals that are using the same parts to restore are using cheap parts? So are they original anymore? Market will determine the value of MM and MMr. Time will tell all....
