it's time to get rid of some games, going to be moving to a small apartment etc, boo hoo.
I'm also not working so not thinking about hooking up a bro type of deal on something this big.

in your esteemed options how much would this be worth to people such as ourselves (and besides, that random ebay and craigslist people)

notice the top glass has been painted wonder if some paint remover would take it off clean? throw some dupe undercard decals spruce it up a little ... missing the glass hold down in one corner too. I do have the manual and schematics though, slight bonus.

THANKS!
 
Nintendo cocktails aren't all that popular (actually, no cocktails are popular unless they're Midway-Pac style or special multi-player like Warlords, D-Derby or Eliminator.) DKjr also doesn't have the general appeal that DK does. it looks like you have an aftermarket stick in there which would impact value to a true collector though the public might not notice or care.

that being said, the DKjr cocktails have a larger monitor than DK. you also might be able to find someone interested in using it as a base for a double-DK machine since all the parts are there and working. i'd guess in the $100-$150 range, maybe a little more if you can find the right buyer on eBay or CL.
 
I think you could get $350 from CL or Ebay if you can wait long enough. DK Jr. is still a classic and a non-collector might jump on it.
 
I love my DK cocktail, but then again, I don't buy into the 'serious collector' mentality. I like it for nostalgic reasons, and I am a huge fan of 70's decor.
