-complete pcb set (same as MM pcb above). SOLD

Based on what I have found sourcing all these parts (and without shipping):

Repro Control Panel (I sell these) - 100
2 HAPP Trackballs - 150
CP Harness - 45
Phoenix Arcade CPO - 55
Atari Cone Buttons - 50
MM PCB Cartridge - 250
Atari System 1 Mother PCB - 100
TOTAL = $750

All these can be gathered pretty easy except for the Atari cone buttons and the MM PCB cartridge - those are getting really tough to find for sale...

can confirm I have everything on that list except the mm cart. my opion though is the cart is worth more then 250 I would say closer to 400$ just for the cart

I don't disagree - my prices are "if you're lucky" prices.

I think if you are patient they can still be had for $250 but it requires patience and OCD diligence on eBay and KLOV.

I bought my cartridge on eBay for $200 but it was listed as "not tested" and unknown if working - it was a risk that paid off as it was super clean, no hacks and worked when I fired it up. That said, I have sold quite a few repro panels which has probably driven the prices up, because now you have more people trying to convert Road Blasters because most of the parts are consistently available... i do think it's possible to use mame as the PCB in a pinch, but I don't know how to do something like that...

Op should change this from MMAO


To price check.

Hilarious.

I usually don't comment on stuff like this but you have to admit, $100 is as lowball as it gets offering for all that Marble Madness stuff.

Just because it says MMAO it does not mean offer 1/8 to 1/10 of the actual value.
 
It's "make me an offer" not "make me an offer and get automatically accepted for being the first offer at whatever price"

Thank you kindly for the wise and well put words 😉

So far most offers were for trades, which is cool, but to clarify to everyone, I prefer to sell.

I think a lot of the low-ball garbage could be avoided if sellers were generally a little more "upfront" (i.e. estimate what THEY think it's worth) with their MMAO posts. For something like this, if the OP initially stated "I think separately this stuff should go for between $750-1000, but MMAO on the whole lot.", you'd deter the $100 offers (or would at least have made it clear to even the most uninformed, that $100 is WAY low). I don't have a problem with MMAO, but am personally a little put off by "blind" MMAO. If I have some idea what the seller thinks the item is worth, I know upfront if what I'm willing to offer is even worth submitting (without offending).

Ok, fair enough.

$1300 for the Marble Madness stuff which includes everything except the two Road Blasters pcbs. Free shipping included as well.

$250 shipped on the two Road Blasters pcbs

Hopefully this starts a new trend with MMAO (unless one truly has no value range in mind...in which case, how would you know an offer was too low?). :)

It only turned into a price check when you threw out the "insult the seller because I don't believe in MMAO"


It's called getting the ball rolling.

I did nothing wrong posting up $100. I would have taken it for $100 tho.


Got an issue? Pm me, or make a seperate thread.

This is the wrong section for discussion... Which most of this thread is now, and should not be.

You have an Indiana Jones game in an Track and Field cab for sale for $1800 on your VAPS- which means you know what Atari system 1 stuff is worth... so no, it was a veiled insult...
