    I have seen a munsters LE and a BKSOR LE within the last month both priced at $7,500 and they are both still on market. (then again, BKSOR was just listed). So why are these two games loosing so much value so quickly?!

    Quoted from jeffgoldstein2:

    Both of the specific LE's are not great games.

    would only say for munsters. i think BKSOR came out pretty good

    i think it has to do with rules. games like maiden LE and deadpool LE are holding more value and i think it is because they have more in depth rules with better art packages and layouts. and i expect the same to happen with JP2

    i just don’t understand why a brand new BKSOR with less than 50 plays would depreciate $1,500 in 5 months

    Quoted from kklank:

    Have you played it? Lol.

    yes. and i really think it’s fun. but this isn’t about who thinks what game sucks and what game doesn’t. it’s about why these games depreciate so quick while a JJP doesnt

    Quoted from taylor34:

    It's all about theme integration and the code. If those are both hits, then the LE retains value. Otherwise, they just sink. Munsters code is too easy for most collectors, and the BKSOR isn't a theme that will bring in big bucks. Hence the drop because there's no scarcity or FOMO.

    i get what your saying but games should still hold SOME value

    so, from the looks, everyone is saying it has to do with the demand for the game? and maybe the demand will be more if they lower the amount of LEs so these games will hold more value in the aftermarket.

    and it seems like it has to also do with popularity of title (from what everyone seems to be saying). most people liked DP and IMDN. but not everyone liked BKSOR and Munsters.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    I think you've finally cracked the case.
    I was pretty hesitant to accept these wild theories, but now I'm starting to become convinced that "popularity of title" and "demand for game" might have something to do with a game's value.

    it’s just i don’t see where the $1,500 is lost in a 9 thousand dollar game that hasn’t even been touched basically over 5 months. and was asking pinside to see what they think

    as someone said what is the 1,500 in value over a premium in an le? trim, back glass, side art. is it really worth it?

    Quoted from Pinball-Wiz:

    If you're buying an LE, it tells me that you have a little more disposable income and in turn, don't care about it.. you just want the best, full featured game the Stern has offered. That being said, LE buyers should expect the least amount of sympathy for losing money on resale IMO.
    Sometimes wanting to be a baller means swallowing the bigger loss later on.

    they can dish the money out and don’t care for the loss. one phone call practically and they have it back probably

    how limited can it be if you get the exact same playfield on the premium model

    MJR

    #131 4 years ago

    so here’s another question to the forum, do you see the extra $1500 value in the LE over the Premium? Just for trim, backglass, side art, and a certificate.

    MJR

    i would say loss of value is very connected to lack of code from release/the code itself

    buy used. take advantage of someone else’s loss
