Sold Monster Bash £5500

[Darthsinex]

Short term discount for pre-Christmas sale only. This machine has been modified and improved over the years and includes the following enhancements.

1) Interactive Scoop Lighting which changes colour depending on the mode that is lit
2) Frankenstein Led lighting which lights as you hit Frankenstein.
3) Dracula Coffin Led mod, that lights as Dracula emerges from his coffin
4) Drac Trak Led light mod, that lights around Dracula's feet as he moves around the playfield
5) Pyramid mod, lit Pyramid that lights as the mummy emerges from his sarcophagus
6) Plasma Ball mod, an actual working plasma ball in the lab area behind Frankenstein and Igor
7) Side Art Blades that match the design of the game on the inside.
8) Brand new legs
9) Brand new Balls
10 LED lights throughout
11) New rubbers and flipper rubbers

The machine comes without a colour DMD but I'll leave it in for £250 more

Will consider a trade for Hobbit, Deadpool. Spiderman Vault, AFM

The machine is in good repair mechanically and plays perfectly. The backbox and the front of the machine have been re-decalled in the last few months with few wrinkles around the legs and the side of the cabinet overall is good with a little wear around the flipper button and he decal trimmed neatly around the legs.The machine will come with leg protectors which protect the artwork and set the machine off.

I'm tempted. Why the lack of interest in this? I appreciate the remake is due but thats going to be getting on for £8k?

Yes, bargain of the century. Funny that people want to pay so many thousands more for the exact same game and code?? If you want a version of the game, this would be a steel at this price. However, if the attraction of paying more prevents a sale, I'll take it off the market tomorrow and wait until the novelty of the remake subsides. Sure that in time people will regret not picking up the Monster Bash at £4999. One more day only

I agree, but I guess somepeople would rather pay £6250 for a new one with warranty and color DMD than £5250 for an older one with repair work.

I feel your pain , I bought a Woz for £6500 and sold it for £5250. I also struggled to shift a nice AFM due to the impending AFMr

You're either gonna have to take the hit now or hang onto it and hope the prices creep back up.

I'll take my chances on the latter. New people come into pinball all the time and there's a big difference between 6250 and 4999. I might be wrong, but I think for the £6250 you don't get a color screen? Might need to spend more like 7k for that?

Yes, classic at £6250 doesn't come with the colour dots. Add £300?

LE - do like the new dots but never been a fan of the wide screen. And topper looks good but it's £8500.

You don't get much on the classic really.

I’ve had 2 MBs both absolute beauty’s and it’s one of the few pins I regretted selling due to it being an easy one to understand for non-pinhead friends and family. Unless you thinking of getting one of the new remakes I’d just hang on to it as the AFMr has killed the market for the original and after playing the se at tilt I can understand why.
I think all the CGC remakes gonna hit the resale market hard except the expensive LE versions which is why Phil had my deposit as soon as they were announced. Is it worth 3k more ? Defo not! However after owning 2 originals I just wanted to bring the game upto date a little and love the RGB of the newer pins.

I guess the problem is if you're in love with the theme you can probably find the extra money for a NIB SE or LE one. If you can take it or leave it - as in it's "another pin to add to the collection" - then at £5k it's not exactly frivolous spend territory.

That's not to say it's not worth that much, or that MBr is worth thousands more, just that they don't really co-exist easily when there is literally no downside to the remake other than cost (and in some respects, e.g. warranty, there are pros)

I don't want to get into pricing discussions because @Sgt GrizZ will be on us, some will want original, some will want remakes... it's a timing thing right now I would say, the original lover is a niche that when that person is in the market, you will have a sale.

Now sold. Thanks for all the interest.
