Soprano's, think they will go cheap?

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

Ok, Nascar is out, I tried it the other day, my guess is that it will
be huge, especially when they get the kink's out of it. I was
wondering though, does that one mean we could see some Soprano's
dumping soon? I would still like to add this one to my collection...

Thanks
Steve

I doubt it, not out of the operators or distributors anyway, still too
new. come to think of it, I havent seen any really great deals on later
model sterns. not since LOTR anyway.

probably not.
its a pretty good game when set in "hard" mode for everything.
making smaller runs of pins compared to the past and STERN being the
only maker of pins, they seem likely to hold close to their NIB price
for a while.
i f you are looking to pay cheaper for a modern stern pin it will be
titles such as: sharkeys shootout and stiker extreme and maybe monopoly
or playboy too.
or a ragged on harley davidson.
RCT if you're lucky. anything from T3 to now will be pricey still
unless heavily wore.

I see coins drop like crazy into Sopranos, doubt the ops will get rid
of it cheap (as long as they can keep it working, stupid flippers)

Depreciation of around $500 per year, downto around $1500-$1800 in
around 5-6 years.

Approximately $4000 NIB - calculate the number of years before its hits
your price range.

I remember something like this happening with a low production game by
Bally. They had quite a few left over and were trying to dump them. Now
the vlaue has gone WAY up on them. I remember NIB prices back then at
$1700 anyone remember a game called Ciqus Voltaire?

Wow!!! Less than 100 plays was all it took to decide to sell? Probably a
good move as I have no idea what all the fuss about that show was over.

Good luck on the sale.

I think the title just *might* affect your calculations - I don't
see TSPP or LOTR getting to that level. Even with the re-runs
and so many owning them HUO not that many nice ones seem
to surface cheap.

Now *other* Stern titles I dunno ;-)

I'm surprised Chuck is selling it also but the fuss is still not over - unlike
any other show I can think of they can take a two year break and still get a
lot of hot press and attention when they return. And they are indeed returning
in March 2006 I think.

Most shows would be toast if they took a hiatus like they do...

Sure do. I picked up my old "sample playfield" CV from a guy who bought it
NIB. It had 100 plays. Paid $1800 in 1999.
