PQ: Are pacman, galaga, and centipede all worth $500?

I just walked away from three possibles from craigs...


galaga:
guy said it works but makes a "loud pinging noise" the whole time its on. He wanted $500. I said $300 cash. He said no less than $450

pac-man and centipede:
closed down skate rink had one centipede and 3 pac-man's. All looked like they were buried in the earth. All stated they need "work". $500 for each


Am I off-base thinking these are high prices for busted machines?

Agreed. Overpriced turds. Sme folks think they have gold. They dont understand condition

Yup - pass.

Depends totally on cabinet condition. If it's a small problem and the machine has a good monitor, good artwork and CP, and good cabinet, perfectly reasonable price.
 
hmmmmm. excellent perspectives.

Thanks for the advice everyone!

Hey! I thought I was one of the only people in NM on KLOV! I went and looked at the games that were in the roller skating place to. I actually got their ShootOut and Centipede working. The Pacmans needed more work then I was willing to do while I was there. I passed on everything because they wanted $500 each. That's way overpriced!

Sounds like it should have been 500 for all 3. You made a good move to pass.
