Just looking for a little price advice on a Williams Turkey Shoot. Can't tell exactly how good the condition is based on what look to be cell phone pics. According to the seller, the game plays blind, meaning when it is powered up he can hear sounds. There is no monitor in the cabinet, so there is no way to test the gun or the video.

Based on that description, what would be a fair price to offer?

Are the feathers original Williams feathers
or just some cheap ones ripped from a pillow?

No idea. I have only seen cheap cell phone pictures so far. The artwork looks decent, but I really won't know until I go take a look for myself, which because of the distance, I will probably buy it if I go look at it.

Non working $300 tops.

Monitor missing? Not even. You're essentially paying for an empty cabinet plus an untested board.

If he lets you drag a montior over and test the board before the sale, and it works 100%, I'd probably go $150.

Empty cabinet? The only thing missing is the monitor and the seller claims it plays blind. Good luck getting it for $150...
 
its a $750-$1250 game working..

I would go with a monitor plug it in and see if you can get pic. If you finsh the level the feathers will fly. you can see them between the double glass.

I would say $300 is a fair offer for that rare of a game. If you really want it, you can consider going to $500.

On the flip side, its rare game. Not that easy as few people play it. I sold mine I think for $1k.

This is the only post in this thread that I agree with. This game is hella-rare, and even non-working missing parts is worth more than $150. I'd agree and go at least $300 in the condition you describe (assuming the cosmetics are OK).
 
Are you guys really telling him to drag a monitor along, plug it in and see if it works? YOU BETTER DECIDE A PRICE beforehand if you go and do that. If the seller sees it working with just a monitor, he will either raise the price on you or not sell it.

I say go there, plug it in, listen for it playing blind, decide a price(roughly $300 I would say too since you could part it out and get more than that), load it up and take it home.

I just can't believe all these threads I see nowadays about people wanting to see if stuff is working right on the spot when obviously it has issues or missing stuff.

Only reason I say this is because I made the mistake 10-15 years on tweaking a monitor in a Cyberball 2072. Once the seller saw it working 100%, it cost me more to buy the damn thing and I was buying 30-40 games from him!! So, nowadays, I agree on a price, look to see if it is complete and load up!!

Well, as reference a complete non-working game went on eBay for $350 this month. I bought a complete game, with a working boardset, for $300. It needed to have the gun switched back to the original (which was included) but is missing the monitor glass and feathers. I think $200-300 for a game missing a monitor and boards of unknown condition is fair. Good luck with board repairs if it is non-working. It is the same boardset as Joust 2...lots of places for logic failures.

And why bring a monitor to see if it is working to only drive your purchase price up??? The seller can't verify working condition, so its his/her onus to do so.

If its $100-$200 just load and go.

If its $400-$500, I would want to test it. You might pay more, but when dealing with a rare game, better to spend a little more than have to spend alot on a rare pcb.
