What is a fair price for a NIB Tron.
I found one and the guy is asking me what "fair" price I'm willing to pay for it......

Thanks.
Claude.

Depends, is it a Pro or a LE ?

Fair price would be NIB value at least i guess ? And the Pro was averaging 5000$ taxes in when new.

LE prices skyrocketted for some reasons and there is no such thing as fair price anymore

But if i remember well, it was 1500$ more than a Pro with taxes when it was new.. (5600$ compared to 4350$ before tax.. so around 6500$)

Well I would assume that you won't get it for the same price as the seller paid for it, if they have had it all this time without opening it he is probably trying to make some money off of it. I guess the question is, what price would you be comfortable paying? And I'm guessing this is for the Pro model, because if it is a NIB LE then you could expect people to be charging over 10k for the game..

$5500 +

dont forget this must have MOD

$5500+ I just sold one with less than 100 plays, Tron Legacy ($5500). No mods, & others were asking after it sold. I believe only 25 Pro's sold in Canada, I bought 2 of them. Both were sold (N.B. & ON).

Hard to believe, i know of 3 just in my friends circle in Montreal.. make it 4 with the one Johny_eh sold in Ottawa.

I agree, that sounds very low. This includes SB sales?

It's for a pro model.

Thanks for the inquiries.

What will I offer him?

My 2 cents, for a NIB, pay the same price as new from distributor but without taxes. Don't pay an extra value for the taxes. Personnaly i'm not in a rush but very interested by this pin. Just wait after few more titles from Stern and you will see more of them on the market for more reasonnable price or if Stern make a better title than Tron in the future , just buy it

I don't know where you came up with 25, but I would check with the distributor for Canada, I believe it is that Starburst outfit. And since you are a reseller and not the buyer who actually purchases them directly from STERN, again how do you come up with 25 ? A good friend of mine who works in sales at SB MTL says that they have bought much more than 25 Pros in T.O.

I also have a Pro here in Ontario.

Aljo you're probably looking at ~$6k for NIB at this point. Also find out if it's screened cab or decals.

I would tend to believe what the sales director at Cineplex Starburst told me (Tron Legacy Pro, not Limited Edition) . All my pins are purchased from the distributor in Toronto.

My thoughts on the numbers for Canada, are they sound reasonable to me. No one probably thought Stern wouldn't run any more in future production.

I'm sorry, are you seriously suggesting that the head sales guy at Starburts/Playdium Store actually tells the whole truth.... LOL! If it's who I think it is ....

25 Pro models? Maybe the LE...but 25 Pro in all of Canada, seems EXTREMELY far fetched.

Believe what you want. I bought 2 as a dealer. People have chimed in a few more, by my count less than 10. The count in Canadian export Stern Tron pins, not USA models.

Cool, then my HUO TRON Pro will be worth a lot more. 1 / 25 is pretty rare

But I have to beleive there are more out there. lets take a poll.

If you have a TRON Pro, please chime in below:

Terrance x 1 (Burlington)

Terrance x 1 (Burlington)
Sylvain x 1 (Montreal)

I have a Tron Pro, Williams Fan has one also.

Terrance (Burlington) x1
Sylvain (Montreal) x1
Working Pins (Ottawa) x 1
Williams Fan x 1

lol you'll never change..

I have one as well.

for this to work though, you should only chime in if you bought it NIB.

Terrance (Burlington) x1
Sylvain (Montreal) x1
Working Pins (Ottawa) x 1
Williams Fan x 1
Machine Slave (Brampton) x 1

Total = 5

(If only 25 were sold, then there should only be 25 around. Mine is HUO but it was bought NIB - given only 5 came up so far, although unlikely, maybe 25 is close????)

(PS: Tron value was a joke - I can't see ever selling it - it's the Best pin I have)

Not a chance there's only 25...does the entire West Coast not even count as part of Canada or something? I know of at least 4 people on other boards, that bought NIB Pro's out in Alberta/Calgary(One's that are not part of this board).

This doesn't even count Operators that we don't know about, don't frequent ANY online boards we all may. And Starburst is NOT the only distributor in this country.

Like I said, I can see 25 LE's Canada-wide, but insisting on only 25 Pros....not a friggin chance. You've already accounted for 20% of that, from home users on this dinky little forum.

Ken your are thinking of resellers, they all buy from Starburst

Uh no, there are guys on KLOV that make their own orders from Stern directly, that don't go through any distributor themselves(And they aren't one either). If you're buying 15-20 machines, they're not going to refer you to a distributor.
I only know of 2 guys in the US that do/have done this, but it certainly doesn't mean there isn't anyone here that hasn't.

I suppose maybe I'm just looking at the numbers and thinking it's just not possible, when many machines may be simply purchased in the US and brought back(Whic yes, I know is not what the numbers were based on).
