Quoted from Eryeal:Hey Kerry,
Sorry that you got brought into this (who knows - maybe it will help sell your pin) - I didn't expect private PM's to get posted by a classless Pinsider (sepins) who couldn't fathom that I could possibly be telling the truth. But thanks for verifying it was a TC pin, and the price - so that people (read: sepins) can stop going bat-crazy and saying there's "no way" it could have been TC from any point in time, and "no way" a TC pin would ever look like that. And no, sepin, I will not sell you my METLE for $8k - stop asking. Thanks.
Stop asking??? Like I asked You more than once??? I decided game wasn't worth $3000 more for a back glass and different cab, and a signature. It isn't I can't afford it, paying $9000 won't change my life.
And now we have all of the speculators acting like they have the best thing since white sliced bread and holding the trade thing over our heads if we want one! Careful guys there are a lot of people not happy that their order got cut and You are rubbing salt in the wound!
I hope all the speculators on MOPLE have a $12K NIB game when it comes out so I know my Premium will be a great playing game! Most people haven't paid for their MOPLE yet and STLE is right around the corner. Cash calls are coming!!! Also been told by a Distributor that they are looking for full payment on ST LE orders! Will this be the new call to order on these LE games???
This is mirroring Avengers at this point! Hulk went crazy for a while and is now dying a slow death. And we need not forget XMen Wolverine. It started out pretty hot and looks like an ice cube right now even with new code!
I recently sold my SM and kept my BSM. Don't understand why I did this! Same exact thing as Metallica LE and it is worth $3000 more.
I had always planned on opening my NIB BIBLE and recently decided to order an AC/DC Premium and sell the BIBLE as it isn't worth Thousands more to me as my collecting days are coming to an end and my playing days are getting closer to fruition with my new home.
A TC game passed around to different friends houses and never shopped for YEARS is no longer a TC game. Send it back to TC to be re-shopped and pay shipping both ways and it will be a TC game again! Has anyone ever bought a TC polishing kit? It's all about the shop job these guys did..."Not a speck of dirt".
And Kerry Your game is worth $3395 all day long just the way it is. And it's obvious this post will help Your sale not hurt Your sale. The game looks very nice for not being shopped in years. I think passing to the neighbors is a very cool thing to do. Not something I would be willing to do with a TC or CH game.
And You said You're not valuing Your pin at 9 or 10K in Your original post. But You have posted elsewhere You have been offered UPWARDS of $9000. Why not sell it for $9000+ and buy Kerry's TC??? Riding the PUMP UP wave???
"May be a bit difficult - hope you can find someone, though. I've had upwards of $9k offered for mine after my FT trade was posted (still looking for the trade!), so demand seems to be pretty high."
Trying to pump prices on another thread???
I've been collecting for over 20 years and You ain't nothing new! Sell here and pump somewhere else...CLASSIC!!!
