A CC in the condition you describe I guess would sell for $12k - $15k .

If I had the cash would I buy it ? .. NO . I couldn't justify spending that much on 1 pin no matter how collectible it may be . Would much rather buy enough pins to fill my games room for the money .

Crazy money for that when you can get 5 or 6 way better DMD's for that price.

If I had a spare 12k under the matress I would buy it.    I played one at Mark Cs and it was fun, but the game play was no better than a stack of $2000 DMD's I have played.  You are buying a collectable and that is where the premiun price is.  You are always going to be able to sell it and the price is only going to go up probably as much as the five or so other DMDs would collectively.

I have played one, was quite good game wise.

I would only buy one myself if it was the last one for my collection, it would be more of an investment for me.

If you are looking for an investment and have the $12k - $15k, then buy it. If you are looking for gameplay then you could get 4 or 5 very decent machines for that money.

[Wotto]

12k + ......we are all kidiing ourselves - right 

There is no machine on planet Earth that should command over $8000.00 in my opinion......and THATS stretching my thought......as I really feel $6000 should be the point where most machines stop.
At the end of the day its a DMD pinball machine.....

If you are trying to build a big collection then I would buy others with that money well before a CC.....(yes I have played it and it is 'OK' )......however , as others have said , if you have ALL the games you want and still have a stack of cash that you dont mind spending then MAYBE grab it

I dont agree, but no one can predict pin prices in a few years from now. But agree that CC is an absolute dud for the money playwise. Gotta be investments with much better returns, so cant agree with the investment line guys feed their wives.

Fun theme. "Standard" late DMD fan layout so easy to play (ie can get right into it). Cool looking.

If it had been made in the mid-90's 3500+ units it would be a game that would sell for maybe $4,000.00 here  - ie rates well below the best (AFM, MM) from WMS.

Being the last DMD from WMS creates it's aura but truthfully it's way below say Monster Bash in both looks and theme, and an MB can be had for 2/3rds the price and is a complete, fun game (with a similar layout).

Over rated machine. Collectible - Yes - If you like collecting over priced machines !

All CC's I've seen are in EXCELLENT condition. I've played an absolute MINT machine at Mark's at it played and looked new. Was really impressed.

For the same price, you could have a CV, SS and another DMD. That represents more value. Even if a CC was the same price as a CV or MM - I would still not fork out the $$

+1 There are far better games that can be bought at a fraction of that amount

I wouldnt call CC a absolute dud play wise not as good as MM or CV but still not a bad game to play(better than the average DMD)
I used the investment line on my missus and it worked, but i only paid$6500 for mine

no, dont half quote me........... I said its a dud for the money playwise

IMO most 2-3k machines are better to play.
