Ok, is their a price guide where I can find out the going rate for jamma/pcb?

A co-workeris selling The game paradise ($100), Mazinger Z ($130) and Battle Bakarid Unlimted Ver ($400).
 
there is really no accurate price guide as prices will fluctuate. Best reference is to check what these may have actually sold for on a source like ebay. Or to possibly get a ball park figure look at a retail source like quarter arcade and see if they offer them for sale and if so for how much.
 
Its something you build up over time. Its important to pull RSS feeds, and other auctions, and record prices manually - or using a Google doc scraper or something else, since there are so many games with so many prices. It will almost always be a subjective opinion though. I share some example auction prices for Super Pacs on my price guide page, but Jon has really recorded and posted the most prices available online.

Unless you look at an actual auction ending price, eBay is a bad source. Many people will judge it off of the list price for a BIN and that is just plain not accurate. That item could be for sale at that price for years.

Problem with JAMMA pricing is many are conversions. Condition of a conversion is so vast, it is really a huge range of possibility, anywhere from scary bad, to done really well.

EDIT: Just realized, why did we revive this thread to post that?
 
Some systems that utilize JAMMA do have dedicated price guides. We have a CPS 1/2/3 price guide that is maintained by several Capcom hardware enthusiasts here. MVS price guides are floating around as well.

Looking at Shmups trading forum :

Game Tengoku , The game paradise goes for $ 130,-/150,-
Last Battle Bakraid Unlimited sold for $350 shipped in the US
Mazinger Z is worth $75.00

Edit ;
These are bare PCB prices .
