WTB looking for a recent stern pro pinball for my office

[Seb]

hey guys, i'm looking to purchase a recent stern pro pinball to put in the office for my staff and I to play during lunch time.

i already have a gz premium at home but i havnt played much recent pins. I had a bunch of older williams titles from the 90s.

any recommandation?

something around 8k-9k would be cool

If it's just for the office, why not a JP homepin. Pro if you want to keep it somewhere else down the road.

 

[Seb]

that's an idea! thx

GP is which title?

 

[BMHouze]

My bad.
The shaker is a nice add on to a pro.

 

[Seb]

some jp pro were listed around the 8k 8.5k mark.
it could be a good pin. i heard it was a hard game....

For that price range there is a Led Zeppelin Pro on FB Marketplace. Finding recent Pro's under $9K could be a challenge. Probably limited to LZ and TMNT if that is your price range.

I have seen the SW homepin listed at 3.5
Ball capture is a nice feature.
Some decent mods available.

And Munsters

TMNT pro is probably a good call for a public environment like that. JP is a fantastic game, but it's tough, and people would probably get frustrated.

You think tmnt won't be tough or frustrating lol

Jp pro $9690.00

Ff pro $9790.00

Turtle pro $9690.00

In a casual environment: I would go FF pro

At home to be challenging and fun : Jp pro

Are these taxes included prices?

 

[Joker19]

If they are, that's a good price for NiB! P1 might have a few people calling. Lol

Well Stern Pro currently converts to $9143 before tax. which equals 10,331 CDN after tax that's about a $500 difference in MSRP of FF listed if it was taxes included. $500 is normally distributors give as a discount to certain customers. Now if you add tax to FF listed price then we are $731 over MSRP. So that's why I ask, it could go either way to be honest. People shouldn't be excited about paying $9700 out the door for a Stern Pro...That's what's wrong with the hobby lol, you guys chomp at the bits. I just recently lost out on paying 9700 for a Godzilla Stern pro was going to pick it up tomorrow but someone offered the seller to pick it up today and pay 10,000 for it...for a used Zilla Pro. I just laugh at the integrity of the seller selling the pin from under me, and the desperation of the buyer to overpay for something that was already spoken for. I really do question the sanity of this "hobby".

 

[Seb]

price is before taxes. I will probably end up with FF

That's unfortunate. Distributor adding $400 USD to MSRP you're paying $7,400 USD plus tax for FF

All I was saying is 9700$ for NiB tax included would be better than what I would expect. The used market (although slowing down) are still selling Stern Pro HUO for over 9k.

At 9700$ before tax, it could be because they got those when the exchange relate was higher than today which is 1.33 which would make them at 7300$ US. At 9700 it is an exchange rate of 1.38 which seems excessive... and for FF Pro at 9800 is an exchange rate of 1.4! Crazy.

Any ways, I was just saying that if those prices included taxes, then they weren't far of the used HUO Stern Pro prices.

 

[Seb]

do you think player one will lower the selling price if there not moving them?

it's not like im in hurry to buy

 

[Joker19]

No idea. Haven't been in the game long enough to comment on this one. I think they have had TMNT in stock for a long time...
