Re: ACDC Pro price check

$4500 is way too low for a HUO 300 plays AC/DC Pro. I don't know the exact figure here, but if you are looking around - Try Joe at "Kids Just Wanna Have Fun". He has contacts all around Australia and would know the current market price very well. I have sent customers to Joe and all have ended up very happy (including me!).

I'm surprised at two things, 1. The $4500 price, imo maybe a bit low and 2. CoT only racking up 300 games. I would have thought this calibre of game would hold a person's attention for many hours given the deep rule set. I'm not having a go, just genuinely surprised especially from a stern fan.

I'm guessing I would rack up that many games in a couple of weeks on any of my purchases just in trying to get the wizard modes an the novelty of a new game.

At $4500 and 300 games you'd be ripping yourself off, I think??

Dunno what Peter's clocked up but I'm betting heaps more

I came in at the lowest amount because I thought the Stern badgers would give me hell for pricing it higher. Lol

I wouldn't sell mine anyway at any price because it's as close to BNIB as you are going to get, and I have the box. Lol

The reason it only has less than 300 games is that I have 55 pins in total and each gets a few games only every now & again. In fact, 200 of the 300 games on the ACDC Pro were put onto the game in one day by a dozen kids I let play it for a charity fundraiser. The other 100 games at 3 balls have been put on by me over about 4 years.

Most of my BNIB Stern games are all less than 100 or 200 plays.
It's like sleeping with the worlds best looking lady, you don't have to flog it day in & day out to realise the fun & quality. Lol

I have had a few people SMS me & ask me if I would sell my ACDC but the answer is its a forever keeper.
The translite has been signed by Steve Ritchie as well as the cabinet & spare translite and the game has every mod you could buy for it incl a $500 LCD topper. If I was ever broke & had to sell the game, it would be hard to sell it & would prob want $5500 or a bit more but would regret selling it.

Good luck with your search.

Don't worry about the Stern haters mate there gunna hate no matter what lol just jealous I'd say haha. Your games worth over 6k easily closer to 7k :) low plays and HUO.

There aren't any Stern "haters" on this forum... I think youll find the same analytical level of criticism is given to all games whether they be from Stern.. Spooky... Heighway and if TAG ever eventuates then that too.
Given that the two of you ignore any member that says anything slightly critical of Stern and then unignore if they say something favourable, its fair to say you choose your own bubbles of reality to live in.

I agree 100%.

I don't hink anyone deliberately HATES Stern. People find things they don't like and amplify it to bring their point across. I know I worked hard to push KISS Premiums / Pros and the criticism was code, price and clearcoat issues which are a discussion on all forums and amongst collectors. It IS frustrating and Stern themselves make it difficult to sell to newbies. No Stern bashing, just a "real world" observation based on real life experiences in the industry.

Best of luck with the search for the AC/DC.
