I just can't believe the GNR owners on MAACA aren't jumping all over this. We're talking almost the NIB price for a Stern title (albeit they aren't everyone's cup of tea).

Ya, but I would never trade my GNR for a POS like TDK.
Frankly, I don't think I'll ever find another GNR as nice as the one I own, and it's definitely my favourite game. I know it's irrational for me to not sell it at $4600 considering that I probably wouldn't have paid more than $4k for one when I was interested in buying one. On the other hand, being a widebody, it wasn't easy getting it into my basement, and getting it out will be even tougher. I don't want to sell it just to make a few hundred bucks profit if it means more work to try to find one, and then haul it down my stairs again. I'm not in this hobby to earn money, I'm in it to have fun. And right now, GNR is the most fun pin in my eyes.
Maybe I'm crazy too, but I feel for TGlover. I happened to luck out in being able to buy a GNR when I did (and in such good shape too). I also have a lineup of people wanting to buy it from me, and I'm sure they'd all be willing to spend more than $4k, so I don't feel like I need to sell it right now.
Pretty much the only way to get me to give up my GNR, at the moment, would be to offer a MM in trade.

Yea but $4600 is almost a LE LOTR I'd take LOTR over a GnR any day of the week and twice on Sundays. It's also a TSPP or POTC or Shrek/FG NIB and those are way better games IMO.
Also none of us here generally are out to make money, but the way I look at it, with a little patience and maybe some travel GnR can be found for in and around the 3K mark, give or take based on condition. If I had one and could get $4600 I'd have no problem taking the $4600 sitting on it and if I really wanted another GnR waiting around to find another one and then also having enough cash left over for another machine so a BK200 or a Centaur, of a Fish Tales or Demoman or T2. So it would basically be just my way of expanding the collection.
