Good points u made Nino....the HRC games up here, apx 2 yrs ago, maybe even 3 were fetching top money, just like monopoly was...the ones i saw were sold by a QLD dealer, and the HUO  minty one went for just over 4 grand, and another with a few scuffs on the headbox went for low 3's...but as i said, the market has moved alot, times are slow, and prices are the lowest I have ever seen in aprox 5 years...I study the market everyday, both USA/Ebay sites, gumtree, all the aus and usa forums etc..just to keep up with daily figures etc..I find it interesting n a bit of fun..

People now are vvery picky n want fully shopped games, LEDS, with everything smick, or they hold their money n wait for the right one...maybe people now buying some New BNIB Sterns has also affected the market with extra 2nd hand machines hitting the market to fund BNIB purchases...its apx 3 X 2nd hand machines to sell to get a BNIB Stern, given AC/DC sold stacks, as has X Men so far, thats probably an extra few thousand 2nd handys also on the already crowded market...plus all dealers are packed to the brim with excess stock which just aint moving unless its auctioned and figures are very very low...but thats good news for buyers for sure.
