"Vintage Taito Space Invaders Cocktail Table Arcade Game - $350 (Crandon)

Vintage Taito Space Invaders Cocktail Table Arcade Game for sale...NOT WORKING. My uncle had a video game rental business back in the 80's and my parents got this original Space Invaders Game for us kids. When I got married and had my own children, it was passed on down to me. My kids played it up until last year, when they said it no longer showed a picture. I plugged it in and heard a "pop", but still had power going to it so it definitely needs some work. I'm not sure what is wrong with it, but it'd be a great restoration project for someone who's into vintage video games. It'd also make a great piece of vintage furniture. I've looked on E-Bay and found some of these same models in working condition for around $900.00. I'm trying to sell for 350.00 OBO."

i saw that one. Ech...really? I don't think I'd shell out $350 for a working cocktail, let alone a non working SI.

Vintage, rare, call it what you want. I call it 'broke.'
 
My favorite part:

"I've looked on E-Bay and found some of these same models in working condition for around $900.00."

Me thinks he padded that price a wee bit. $900 on eBay? Yeah, maybe the eBay in fantasy land or his dream.

That's exactly like the one I used to own. It's the best-known of the Taito machines. The little piggy bank I have is modeled after it.

Mine didn't work, either. $350? He's nuts.

And I never understand the "I see these on eBay for [big money]". Yeah...but do they sell?
