Has anyone else noticed that prices for these arcade Marquee's the price has really jumped from 5.00 too 10.00 each... Other then the big name titles they where more then that. To your really can'nt find any for under 20.00 now


This really sucks i was hoping too get some for game room art. It will never happen now.
 
If you are serious, I'm about to list my first set of 20 marquees, I would let go all of them for $100 + actual shipping or you could pick them up, which would make them $5 each. (wall art display, uncut, some scratched when lit, some have sticker residue) I think its a screaming deal and in most cases less than what I paid to originally get the marquee.

These wouldn't be no-name game marquees either or ugly, most of them hard to find or cool artwork, they are:

PUNCH-OUT!!, MOUSETRAP, Elevator Action, Satans Hollow, Michael Jackson Moonwalker, Breakout, Omega Race, Jail Break, 1942, 1943, Shinobi, Arch Rivals, Rally-X, Pac-Plus, Golden Axe, Missile Command, Up & Down, Blasted, Rush 'N Attack, Arkanoid

Are you interested? If so let me know before they end up in the For Sale section very soon. That would fill up some walls in a gameroom quickly and a have sizable trading stock!

I don't want to hear ya' complaining again about never finding $5 marquees and how they don't exist! :)
 
If he doesn't, I got next-dibs! :)
 
The reason prices have gone up is the same reason you want them - as gameroom decoration. Even non-gamers are buying these things as wall art for gamerooms that have no arcades in them. I was recently at a lady's house to fix a slot, and she had about 100 marquees she'd bought off of Ebay for the sole purpose of hanging on the wall. A bunch of no-namers, but some desirable ones in there, too...
 
I've got a friend who bought a game off of me about 6 months ago, and since then has started a little collection. Before that though, he bought a marquee of every game he'd ever played or seen, anywhere. He has about 250 marquees hanging on his walls! He even bought multiple copies so he'd have the nicest possible.

Looks great, though, lol.

I know what you are talking about. I wanted to get 10-20 for my walls but for the price I just can't do it. I have had some very nice people offer me a couple here and there... but they are games that nobody knows of. I know it's going to be hard to get Burgertime, pac, ms pac, etc but with a little work I may find some at a good price.
 
If I'm offering these at way under average price I want to move them pretty quick. I'd don't want to sell singles or split them up, with multiple shipping for a few dollars its not worth the hassle.

PM replied to Simpsons99 - Don't mind holding them a FEW days but also don't want to wait very long at this price to find these a new home. You just happened to ask about wall-art while these were sitting on my coffee table waiting for me to list.
 
I had bought a bunch last year and most I got for decent prices. I have no idea what they run now. At least you're not collecting complete in box nintendo games,those things have freaking skyrocketed in price. At least for the popular ones anyway. And don't even bother trying to collect sealed nes games. Those prices are insane.

The only sealed game I have is an SNES NBA Jam and I only paid around 20 for it. I played that one soooo much as a kid and figure it would make neat gameroom decoration someday. I can't believe prices on some sealed games either.
