I have some nos & used marquees and want to get some input on their worth so I can decide if it's better to sell them, trash them, or just keep 'em to add ambiance to the garage. Give me your opinion based on average to good condition for the used plexis. I think the glass stuff like Tapper may not be worth anything with bad flaking/missing art. I can't take any pics yet.

The NOS marquees are:
Bionic Commando
Strider
Willow
Mat Mania
Baseball 2
Vigilante

Used marquees are:
Tapper (major flaking)
Timber (major flaking)
Timber (less flaking)
Smash TV (flaking)
Two Tigers (flaking)
Bump n' Jump (scratches)
Zenophobe (flaking)
Rampage
Ghosts n' Goblins (Romstar)
Kung Fu Master
Air Wolf
Terra Cresta
Mercs
Defender
Dig Dug
Battlezone (seems small,cabaret ?)
Aliens vs Predator
Punisher (full size)
Super SF 2 (full size)
Beast Busters
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
D&D Tower of Doom
Moon Walker
Spider-Man
Hyper Sports
Track & Field
Neo Geo 1-game (or "Now Featuring") marquee
Neo Geo 2-game marquee
Double Dribble translite
Pac-Man Plus
Pac-Man
Ms. Pac-man
After Burner
Firetrap

I'd buy the Strider and Bionic Commando marquees from you. As far as value? I would say $30 a piece for the NOS marquees.
 
I've always seen the marquees floating around our neck of the woods at somewhat of a fixed price. Usually, just to get multiple copies and random marquees gone, pricing (not inlcuding shipping) starts on these at $5-$10. Glass marquees with heavy flaking our almost best just to keep for hanging art or garage sales, becuase no one buys them and they're shitty to mail.

Sometimes though, well known, very sought after, and rare marquees seem to be worth starting bids of $20 and will sometimes bring in nearly $40.

You're first three marquees listed I wouldn't let go for less than $20.

Rampage $20

Ghost and goblins $25

Dig Dug $20

You know, watch ebay and check what brand new marquees go for. And NO, the Moonwalker marquee is not worth $1000.
