Been thinking about selling or trading my Black Tiger lately. The replay value is pretty low, in my opinion (unless you want to buy it, then it's great!!).

Would I be able to get a decent, working Galaga for it? My Black Tiger is fully restored, 100% working, great shape. I think if I were to sell it outright, I'd try to get $300 or so. That should be enough for a Galaga. What do you guys think?

I think $300 seems a little high for that game and Galaga would probably run you a little more than that. So, I think you'd need to bring a little cash to the transaction ... maybe $100-300 depending on the condition of Galaga.

Also, maybe I'm wrong but someone who has a Galaga isn't likely to trade for a non-classic like Black Tiger. Just my 2 cents.

+1. If I had to guess on what price would get some inquiries on the Black Tiger, it would be $200-250. You'll be better off selling it outright and putting whatever you get from the sale toward a Galaga. Or just keep the BT as a horizontal JAMMA cab.
 
After all that work you are getting rid of the Black Tiger?!? Well since it is a conversion I wouldn't expect too much here on the forums, You would be better off on CL, you could probably get a couple hundred more of it.

As for Galaga, I have it and Black Tiger both, and I would put the replay value about equal on them. The games I get the most replay out is fighting games (SFA3,MVC,CVS) and my Neo-Geo with a 120-in-cart. I could play Street Fighter Alpha 3 all day and not get tired of it. I also love Rastan, but that is way too much like Black Tiger I am sure you would get bored of it too.
 
black tiger has less replay valule than galaga?!!?!?!!!! what am I missing here..

You aren't missing anything, IMO they both have good replay, but I think I get more out of my fighters. If I am getting a arcade machine I make sure it has good replay first. Except for the Radikal Bikers I bought, but that was originally for parts and turned out to be a happy surprise.
 
Well I'd rather not get rid of it, but I don't really have any more space. Plus it's probably my least played cabinet. I still like it but... I don't know, we'll see what comes up.
 
I have a 100% complete Galaga I would trade you for straight up for Black Tiger. It has a problem though (black screen, monitor powers on though) and you would have to handle pick up/delivery (MN). I am not going to hold my breath on this trade but figured I would throw it out there. I only picked it up because it was a good deal though so I would gladly trade it as-is for your Black Tiger :)
