WOZ EC LE for $8000- $8500????

I didnt realize it first sold that inexpensive.
But why not ask in the $9k range when the machine is $10,500 new?
And assuming I find the right one, any recommendations on how to pay the seller without getting ripped off?

How can they afford to sell their machines for a $1500+ loss??
One fear I do have is how do you send someone $8000 and make sure you get your machine. Paypal will kill the sale in fees.

Some people paid $6500 and some $7500 for the WOZECLE. If you buy from someone on Pinside that has built up a reputation then the chances are you have nothing to worry about from that person in following through with the sale.

There are some distributors like Automated Services that have hoarded new in box games and then price them at $10k to take advantage of the sold out game.

Rawley, yes, I saw this ad. He and I have exchanged a few emails together. Very nice guy.
But like my topic was how can someone afford to take such a large hit.
I wasnt aware that when JJP first started selling the ECLE that they were in the 7-8k range. No, I wasnt aware of the pin in 2011-12. I knew the standard edition was $7000 @ on point.

Nobody is taking a hit.
Many on Pinside ordered 2 years ago for 6,500/7,000. And now they are selling, instead of keeping, for a small profit.. very small profit considering the time frame.

Ok, thank you for bringing me up to speed on this.
Again, I had no idea it sold for that price years ago.
Instead of people saying I'm trolling like McCune or centerflank, help a guy out and explain their original costs.
Not everyone is here to cause problems. My question was genuine. Now I have the answer.

And not everyone selling is making a profit. I bought mine for $8500, which is what I am selling it for. A WOZ standard is now $8000, so another $500 for the LE and invisiglass seemed fair. (I wish I had bought one a few years ago at $6500 when I first learned about it, but that ship has sailed)

I have seen a number of WOZLEs advertised at $10k, including one retail store in my local area. But that was from someone who was clearly looking for a buyer that didn't know that was over market value.

As for $10k, it's not out of the question. If you get the 75th LE and add inviglass and shipping, that's close to $10k.

Not sure why everyone though the OP was a troll - seemed like a perfectly reasonable question to me.

Since when is making a profit in America a bad thing? Sounds like sour grapes to me. If Automated wants to sell their machines for over 10k, let 'em. If they get that, then good for them. If they don't, then good for us because prices will drop. Nobody ever talks about the profit people make on MM - only WOZ because it's a new machine. It doesn't make any sense to me!

If you are a newb and you see Automated ads or some other goofballs, it can be confusing....

Pinside has a network of leg breakers all over the country so if this happens to you, the area ass whipper will go get your pin for you

In Canada my 3 month old pin sold for almost $9k & another 1 month old one with extra's sold for $8.5k Canadian. It's a great game, but in my case I needed to free up some cash for my playfield production. Everyone liked WOZ, but there are very few pins that you can play for months & still get your money back. Costs are higher for pins in Canada with shipping, higher tax, & brokerage. The only other new pin I got my full money back after playing 6 months was AC/DC BIB, sold it for $9k & I see they are selling for over $10k now.

Im trying to keep the group informed as to what a troll looks like if they ever encounter one. By the way, tilting every post that has the word troll in it may be blatant misuse of what its designed for
