SOLD: X-Men LE Magneto $5000 (firm) South FL
« on: May 11, 2017, 09:54:41 AM »
Selling my X-Men LE Magneto #131.

The basics:

Game is HUO.  Price is $5000 firm. Not interested in trades at this time.

Located in Coral Springs, FL

Prefer local cash and carry sale.  If you must ship, I would recommend contacting Greywolf (Donny)

----------------

More details:

I am the original owner since 2012. Game is HUO (only me) and is in very good condition.  (Not going to try and claim collector quality, not a speck of dirt, less than 100 plays or any nonsense like that). I don't think you would be disappointed with this game unless you are the type of person who only turns on games to show guests all the LED mods installed and prove to them that the game still has all of the factory high scores because nobody is allowed to play it. 

Plays:  Game currently has 1351 plays on it on code V1.5 (which is better than the latest V1.51 by several sources as it affects Wizard modes).  Add 50 or so plays back when the old code versions sucked beyond sucky things that suck and we refused to play it, but after writing Stern about the glaring code issues we knew they would fix it.  The rules are way better now (hence the 1351 plays!)

Celebrity endorsement : every Florida State Pinball Champion has played it!

Mods: Game has scoop protector and shooter lane protector installed. Game has updated auxiliary board. Wolverine bash toy replaced.

Goody bag and manual still stapled to inside? Um, no.  It's been read a few times. 

Shooter lane and scoop wear disclaimer:  After 5 years and 1300+ plays, who would dare say "no wear"  (But you said it has a protector!) Seriously?

Playfield dimple disclaimer: The game has 1300+ plays.  I play the games, and some of them last a long time. I'm pretty sure you will find a dimple or 2.

Clearcoat ghosting: Wasn't really an issue back then to my knowledge, but come see it in person and satisfy yourself that the playfield is ok. 

Wolverine placement blocking left orbit: No.  Despite the complaints of this feature online, I have no problem completing Beast, making it to Danger Room or Dark Phoenix.  It is not an issue.

If you've read this far and are serious about buying and want specific photos, ask.  I think enough people can figure out via Google images or ipdb.org what the game looks like without me needing to post a bunch of photos on the Village.

Feel free to PM me or direct email ( pinballcorpse at yahoo dot com ) and come by and see it in and play it person.  That way you KNOW what you are getting.

Thanks for reading!

Yep, but no surprise at that price. Congrats to buyer and seller. I've always thought the Magneto LE had particularly awesome looking backglass and cabinet decals.

LOL !  What is the opposite of "price policing" by telling someone they underpriced it  :)

Thanks for the support regarding the pictures, k7!
