how much would you pay for:

Robocop: works fine, slight wear, no side art, and player 2 button doesn't work
Bad dudes: beautiful cabinet except one corner fudged up, player 2 controller not working.
Battle toad: a little dirty, back door lock broke, monitor might be going out or just need to be adjusted.

All of them together in one deal.
 
IMO all three are 2nd string games. If I had a chance to buy for cheap I would but not going out of my way to buy. That said, in the condition you described I would say no more than $500 for the 3 is fair. They all need work and are not 100%. The seller has a price in mind.(they always do) Ask him/her to give you a ballpark figure on what they would like to get and go from there.
 
I second $100 each or maybe $200 for all 3 together.

The control and monitor problems you described are all things that can be fixed in the free to $10 range, but are also the kind of stuff that can get non-tech people to dump machines cheap.

If you REALLY want them. Then $200 each or $500 for the lot isn't totally out of line. My own personal line of thinking is, almost any working game isn't bad for $100, and you can usually sell almost any working game on craigslist or the newspaper bargain box for $200 if you list it a few times, so I wouldn't feel bad about spending $200 on a 19" conversion if I liked the title.

The cabs are probably generic- unless the Bad Dudes is dedicated (because I love those rounded marquee DE cabs), I'd skip it.

But if you must buy these, $100 a piece is all I would offer. At least you'd have the 3 monitors.
 
battle toads and bad dudes are dedicated. I've been on the hunt for robocop. I just paid for them and am picking them up around 3. $100 for all three:) will post pics.

$100 for all 3??!?!?!? Nice! That's a score no matter what games they are.

Although, I wasn't aware Battletoads had a dedicated cabinet. I thought it was just a kit. :confused:
 
Here you go. They all work. Minor repairs.

Looks like they let a stoned kid do the conversion on that Battletoads. It is probably nearly unplayable with those angled joysticks. Whatever you do, fix that.
 
I'd suggest setting up your Robocop and Bad Dudes in the same cabinet (since they both came in that one anyway) and putting something else in the Robocop.
