I'm trying to find a new home for our Q*Bert cabinet. It was originally given to my grandfather's grocery store as a promotion for Mello Yello, and plays the Mello Yello version of the game. It has no coin slots, just a door blank with lock, also through the promotion.
The sides have a few scuffs, and there are some chunks of vinyl/plastic missing off the very front of the joystick area. The Mello Yello can in the cut scene is also misaligned. I think we had that working correctly years ago.
Otherwise, though it isn't mint, it is in very good shape, and everything works. No burn-in that I've noticed. We played it a lot when we were kids, but he was always shut off afterwards.
I am including pics in this post, and I'll reply with a few more.
I'd really like to see this go to someone that would appreciate it for the game, and the fact that this is something of a collectible version of it. I've spent some time reading on the forum here, and I really dig the vibe. Thought about E-baying him, but I liked the level of expertise here.
We're located in Fargo, ND. If you can help arrange shipping, it can be shipped, though I expect not cheaply. And I can't help out much with transporting it even short distances until it warms up (my pickup is distinctly cold-blooded and currently doing a spot-on imitation of a giant snow-bank.)
As for price, I've done a lot of looking for comparable prices, but I'm unsure just how its rarity really affects that, and I know prices flux with the times. I think it's worth somewhere between $500-800, but I suppose what I'm asking is for honest opinions on whether I'm close and what might be a more specific, fair, number.
I'm not looking to make bank on it, but he is finally being sold to help raise some funds for a family member. Please let me know on the thread or by PM if you're interested and/or have thoughts on it. Thanks. (You guys really have a great place here.
