Sounds like you got an awesome deal. The Tempest is my wife's game, as I mentioned. I figure the only reason she even approached me about selling it for her was she was the one who saw the game being sold for $3,600. QUOTE=ClarkWGriswold;3798563]As another point of reference, I bought a...
Good to know, thanks for the input. I usually price my stuff for fast sell as I'm not in this to make money. Over the years I've sold just enough stuff to pay for the hobby. I look up what others are selling it for and usually price it at a reduced rate Ie I saw 3 tempests at $3,000- $3,600...
So, evidently my $2,500 asking price scared you folks off. I've seen them listed for $3,000 or above elsewhere...what's the normal "going for" range nowdays for a Tempest in collector condition?
I'm actually surprised my wife approached me about selling the Tempest. She's been very supportive of my arcade hobby for over 20 years now. The only thing she ever asked was I that buy her a Galaga and this Tempest. So you see it's really her game.If it sells trust me the Tempest will be missed.
Up for sale is a nice working Tempest with above average side art , no broken corners, and no moister issues, monitor was bullet proofed a number of years ago. Asking $2,500 ( based on three other Tempests found for sale at $3,000- $3,600).
Ok enough people PMed me asking for more pictures of the play field, so I took the glass off and made a few. As you can see the upper field is still pretty much intact but it shows the most wear. The plastics are in great shape but the lizard's snout is damaged. Please note :I'd like someone to...
The pinball cabinet is in good shape with nice stencil art work, game plays and sound works (does have a line noise issue) , The play field is worn but most of the graphics remain complete. The back glass really needs to be replaced ( marcospec.com sells them for $230). It works fine but I'd...
Never installed, no scratches like new Plexi for Missile Command with all the correct lettering. $50 plus shipping O.B.O (Hard to get a picture of the item as it still has it's protective covering, any line shown is actually the protective cover wrinkled)
I can't tell by your tone if you think it's too high or a crazy low price. But I base my asking price on two craigslist post selling SDs with asking prices of $1,200 and $1,000. I think $800 is fair if you are a fan of this game and have been actively looking for it. If I bought just the monitor...
