You cant go wrong with a AC/DC Pro. Just add a shaker motor and anyone shld be v happy with this pinny for many years.
Heaps of mods avail as well. Code updates are excellent. Good luck with the sale. I bet it doesnt last very long at all.

Apparently there's a February run of acdc and that runs already 50% sold before production faaaarrrk me how many have they made? Having made so many must impact on resale value.

It doesn't bother me. As long as you enjoy the game, who cares about resale .

The vast majority of people who have bought AC/DC Pro's have kept them.

I have heard of one person selling due to funding a trip to the USA with the one he won, another selling to upgrade to a Premium, and another upgrading to buy a mates Black in Black LE that became avail.

Other than that, out of the 150 Pro's sold in Aust, only apx 3 have been put up for sale. Not bad. Resale will still stay IMO high because no one knows how many more Stern are building, and most people have expressed they will keep theirs forever. They will probably stay $4750 and above for low home usage models, maybe a bit less for sited ones in great condition. Time will tell.....

Traditionally,  high selling titles retain a good resale value due to popularity. The LEs will hold their own due to limited numbers of a popular title. Whether you like theme or not, this machine will rock on.

Look at what has happened to LOTR and TSPP values. Can't sell them in the 4-5 range at all and these are top ten machines with multiple production runs.

Stern's production philosophy is going to kill the resale. By the time they have finished running them (proper runs or mini runs) the machines (HUO or not) will be almost five years old.

Pros and Premiums aren't going to increase in value until Stern stop running them and distributors run out of existing stock and have customers ask for more. Then you face the possibility that Stern will be pressured into renewing the license "just one more time" (Tron, TSPP etc) from distributors and the cycle repeats.

As for LE values, well I think owners looking for a quick buck will need to hold onto them for quite some time (and preferably NIB). Ideally they should have flipped them off for a quick buck in the first few months after release (if that was your purpose for buying), since now we have a lot of "collectors" who initially bought for that very reason and are willing to sit on their "investment" for a few years and then put it up for sale.

Guess it now becomes a game of Survivor to outlast and outplay the next guy.  :lol

LE Prices (here's an example in the US, 3 NIB BIBLE for sale since Oct last year at 8500 each, they are still for sale....)

Yep no one should expect to make money from buying pinballs, unless they buy rare games and keep them long term NIB, still no guarantees though.  Pinballs were made to be played
