Dragon's Lair

Yep, I was bidding on that one when it climbed above what I was willing to pay for it. And I was even willing to make the long drive from the Chicago area to go get it.

I won an auction earlier on a Super Mario Bros cabinet where the reserve wasn't met. The seller emailed me and said he wanted $600, which I thought was hilarious...

You beat me on the auction. :) He had this (and a couple others) posted on CL before the auction. I called him and he said he wanted $700 for it...
 
The side art is way to high on that DL, you will find one and when you do after they will show up in pairs! good luck...

Yeah, he definitely thinks he's got a gold mine or something. That's well over 3x what I'd pay for a Super Mario Bros...
 
Yeah I noticed that the side art was way too high on it. Since it was literally just down the road and I have been looking for one, I was willing to over look that, BUT NOT for $1425!!!
I was thinking it might have gone for around $1000!?! Wonder what he had the reserve set at? It was a nice looking machine except for that side art.......Someone put that art where they "thought it looked good" and not where it is supposed to be!!!
One of these days I'll find one and it will never leave my house! :) Kills me knowing there is one so close....yet soooooo far!!

Send the guy an email, tell him you are just down the road and can pick it up. he won't have ebay fees the hassle of trying to list it again or shipping, you never know.

good luck

Ps in Canada $1,425 for a DL in that condition is a fair price

I have one that took me two years to rebuild, you can see it on my website www.braidarcave.com
 
Nice, nice, nice.

Yeah it is a bit high. The side art on most original cabinets looks like it has been applied by dwarfs, but on others it was a bit higher up. The cabinet looks to have had its sides restored, possibly new vinyl and most probably 'officially licensed repro' QuarterArcade side art.
