How much would you pay for this Tron?

[DP Louie]

This has been on and off ebay for awhile now... originally had it at $500 starting, then went to $750, now I think it's at $650. I pointed out all of the flaws (marquee flaking, coin door painted over, overall rough shape, no pics of the game working) and told him the most I would pay would be $350, to which he replied "no thanks". I think someone placed a shill bid the first time it was on ebay, but who knows for sure.

What that for the Tron alone? Or for all 3 games. I need to get down to Visalia this summer sometime. I feel guilty for not going often enough. (My folks live there).

Yeah, that was for just the Tron, no other games included. It's actually pretty cool in Visalia today, only 95 degrees, compared to 106 a few days ago, lol.

Here's the most recent ebay listing:

same pics, but this one says it's located in Sonora, not Mt. View... interesting.

$1,000,000! Wait, what was the question?

I guess people are in a rush or lacking proper education in Sonora. The ebay ad copy says it all below... btw, what's a garnett?


full size fully functioning trom arcade game .
arcade classic good pic. cabinet is fair, lights work . artwork ok . shows its age.
mech ok , but its a old machine. sold most of the collection .
not delivering , not trading , ill crate it for 500. on top of the bid. dont bid if your not going to follow though on it.
no side offers . if your interested bid,. pic up prefered. im not handling the shipping . no warrenty or garnett,

 

[jehuie]

no warrenty or garnett,

I believe a garnett is a type of gem. And they are right. This is no gem.

Oh, now I see where all the confusion is coming from - this is actually a TROM cab... but still no gem.

$500 max for all three. $400 if the Tron doesn't actually work. The crummy pics suggest that the side art is either ugly or gone and the no screen shots suggest that the game doesn't work or the guy is too lazy to plug it in.

 

[tron guy]

he sent me a few more pictures, the sideart has the white wearing where people would put their hands. I mentioned that it was quite a 'project' he took offense somewhat to that.

I paid 300$ for this about 2 months ago but it had a nice monitor and worked fully. I ended having to cut 1 inch all the away around and totally replace the base of the bottom

Tetris .. only thing i took is PCB! and rest. bye bye!

Hey congrats. What was the seller like in person? They sure seemed adamant about their price. You should post some good before and after pics and some restoration pics. A lot of us enjoy seeing those.

I picked up an interesting game near my kids Scout camp up about a half hour from there once....

Congrats! sometimes it is worth a little extra to find what you want. Just got my Tron this week too!

i bid on this

I had bid on this game the first time it was on ebay... i live in Modesto and Sonora is just about 1/2 hour away. I was out bid quick and then contacted by the seller about 2 hours later saying that the other buyer backed out and that I could have it for what he bid... seemed odd. Then when I called him back he told the board had gone out... and that he would sell it with a dead board for 475.00 I passed. I dont know what you bought for but Im with you i love Tron and would have bought it if things hadn't been sketchy. Enjoy it... BTW I am REAL sorry that i missed out on your punch out... that is one game i would love to have too.
