Quoted from usandthem:Does anyone know how to get a NIB Stern Pro or Premium for less than $4895/$6500 respectively, including shipping? I was ready to get one until I was quoted those prices. Last I checked in 2012 for AC/DC, it was $4050/$6050 respectively, including shipping. I sincerely appreciate any leads.
The price you have for the Pro including shipping ties the best I have seen.
I am still kicking myself for not buying LOTR from The Sharper Image, when they were going out of business. $3100 is what I remember. They could not get rid of them.
What has gotten depressing is that older classics have gone up in price to the point where many cost as much as a NIB. I love the Stern Star Trek Pro. But the other Stern titles leave me cold. One I played reminded me of Star Trek without the third flipper. Why would I buy that?
For me to buy a NIB Stern, I am going to have to see something new and different. Not just a retread of what they have done. $5k for a pro - it had better be good.
JJP is too expensive for me. WOZ just keeps going up in price. I find it hard to purchase one when they were $2k less a little while ago. Hobbit looked awfully open. And when they kept missing their ship dates, while raising the price of a pin I could not play, I backed out of an LE. Now it is $8,500, up a grand!
Someday we will get another recession - not that we have recovered from the last one (no political comments, please). It will be interesting to see if these companies survive the next down turn.
