At the risk of sounding like a dealer, the supply of quality A list BW titles from overseas has just about dried up. Even a couple of years ago, there would be at least one MB, CV, AFM, MM in one of the container package deals from Europe (along with 3 Lethal Weapons). This is not the case anymore.
US prices of these titles have gone insane thus putting even average condition examples of these machines well out of the reach of most collectors or for those seeking to bring one in from the US to Australia - a restored MM sold for $18,000 at Expo last week (yes it sold).
Eventually the prices and lack of supply forces most people out of the market and they settle for the next best thing.
But the demand is still there I assure you....
