Looking for any input on an Exidy Venture I have a chance to buy. Looks to be an original cabinet, complete with side art, CPO, marquee etc.

Have not seen this in person yet, and the "in action" screenshots I was sent either don't look promising or the guy really can't snap a photo (the colors of the maze look way off compared to the way they look in an emulator).

If the pictures were just crap and the game is spot on, what's a good offer? If only the cab is intact and either the monitor is bad or the PCB, what then?

Thanks for any input.
 
make sure it has the original joystick, it's HUGE, and special to just venture i am pretty sure. Venture's have been going pretty high lately, and seems like everyone is looking for one. physical condition, and operating condition really determine price.

Rough cabinet, non working, no more than 300.00
rough cabinet, working, OR nice cabinet non working, - 400 - 500.00

nice cab, and working, 5 - 800.00
 
craigslist?? haha

Just make sure you don't help Buffalo Bill move his couch while you are down there....
 
I have a few Venture "Winky Fan Club" promotional buttons if any of you Venture fans are interested.
 
Let me see where they are (had about a dozen but not sure of the exact location of more than one of them at the moment). I was originally thinking no cost, just mail me something arcade related in return, but realized that people may spend more on postage than needed, so we will do a small fee on them.

Yes!!! Let me know costs...

Nice cab! By any chance do you know the dimensions on the cab? Trying to figure if I can fit this in a Toyota Sienna or if I'm gonna have to rent something.

I fit my Neo Geo gold cabs in it with room to spare (seperate, not together).
 
personally I'd say the game should be in the $300-500 unless you're in an area where these never pop up and it's a must have. Venture boards have been selling for high dollar lately but parts and complete game values can be very different.
