Just becuase there is an approximate price for a pin doesn't mean that you can snap your fingers and the exact pin your looking for will appear. Did I miss the moment when IM became more or equally expensive as LOTR?? It takes a hunt for most machines we all know that. I have seen a couple in the last few months up here for right around that just keep your eyes out. If I see another I'll shoot you a PM.
This is the tail end of the hype. Give this game 6 months and you will find them again. Lots of cool new stuff by 1st quarter of next year to motivate folks ; )
Quoted from cscmtp:oooof. That's gotta hurt Rob.
Yep. It was actually a little more than a year ago. What really hurt is the fact that I did get one eventually (for a lot more than that) and it turned out to be one of my favorite pins ever.
Just trying to give you an idea of the going price is all. The two I was talking about were right around 4500 within the last couple months in one of the most expensive places for pins in the US. If you want to pay more I am sure someone will ablidge.

Well, I'm just going on the statement that everyone is saying that IM sells for $4300. I didn't believe this to be the case, but if they are, I'll buy one. Will drive or ship to pick it up also.
Quoted from Cobray:Well a recent thread claimed that's the going price, so I'll buy one all day long if I can find one at that price.
I'd even be willing to ship for that.
Please PM me with info.
Thanks for looking!
The day is done so it's my turn. Buying all night long! AM me with details.
Quoted from Cobray:yep, and I passed on a HUO spiderman with LED's and shaker for $4350 about 6 months ago. So with the logic you guys are saying, should I be picking up a SM for $4300 to?
You're absolutely right - if you go out today and want an Iron Man within the next 24 hours, you won't find one for $4300. If you wait, considering that there are LOTS of stories of them being sold for that six weeks ago, I bet you can find one or find one very close to that.
Having a single outlier of a title like Spider-Man isn't a trend. Multiple people have stated that they have seen multiple Iron Men listed at $4300, so it is much harder to dismiss it.
I was offered a BSD last month for $1000, but that doesn't make me think the going rate for them is actually $1000.
Dude! No one is saying they are that price to mess with you. That's what they have been. Christ the one on here in June say for a month in the marketplace. And watch as soon as you buy one 4 will pop up. Always happens.

Quoted for truth. 
plus you have to be willing to drive 12 hours on any given notice. Patience is the key. 5 years from now, you may see them for $3k on a regular basis. The more rushed you are, the more your going to pay. Looking around taking your time is where you get the better deals.
Quoted from biglaw:IM in new york on Mr Pinball 4300 probley already sold dont know
That one is not sold ...it is a routed beat up piece of shit...
and i hope nobody in thier right mind would buy it for that kind of money...
a misrepresented beat piece of shit...
