How much do these normally go for? Got someone who wanted to sell me one. Trying to think of what would be a fair offer. I would be buying 2 pinballs probably at the same time from them as well.

I am pretty sure the Ms. Pacman/Pacman/Galaga cocktail table is gonna be out of my range, they are asking alot for it. But doesnt hurt to through an offer out there.
 
are we talking the new ones? retail is stupid like 3000 right?

Edit: quick google search and the cheapest I saw was 2800 with the normal price being like 3500
 
if you just mean "midway" cocktail style, then I'd say between $700-$1000 for a nice one.
 
No more than $1300

I have a friend who builds almost the EXACT same looking cocktails. He charges $1300 plus he will bring it to your house within 100 miles of him.

Don't know if that helps or not...

Nice looking machine though

Good Luck!

True

P.S. - What Pins are you getting too? Just curious...
 
Well, the deal so far is for that cocktail table, pride of pinbot pin, and pinbot pin. Right now its $2500 for all 3. The pins look to be in good shape and working, but they said they needed new rubbers, lights and such. I think I can get it down to $2000 since I already worked out a deal for just the 2 pins. But hearing what you all are saying, looks to be a good deal.
 
Here are a few pictures of one that I recently built with a 21" FLAT Screen and a 48in1 PCB inside.
In Australia these are currently selling for between $1400 and $2500 depending on if retail or through dealers and or collectors.

He is asking specifically about the legal, licensed Namco reunions, not generic homebuilt cabinets. There is a big difference.

A friend of mine just bought a really nice Namco cocktail for $900. I thought that was a fair price given the condition, age, and the "new" cost.

So doesnt sound like a bad deal then. Hopefully they still got them. They are not listed for sale anywhere. I just got luck to hear about them wanting to clear out there garage area.
 
I'd go for it.

Looks like it should be a go now. They accepted my offer of $2000. The fun part will be taking them down the steps. They are in a gameroom above the garage. I figured I can take the legs of the pins, fold the heads down, then the handcart should handle it.

I just have to keep telling myself this looks to be a good deal. This is the most I have ever spent for only 3 games.

I wont probably be able to buy any games after this for a while. Gonna take some time to build the funds back up. But this will put me at 4 pins (giving back the time warp). I will probably sell one of the other pins once I have them all in the house and see which of the 4 I have left isnt played that much.

Here is a pic of the pins

Based on the pics of the cabs I think it is a fair deal. Pins are more expensive than vids overall so only getting 3 games for $2k is not a problem IMHO. Not sure what the playfields look like on them. Needing rubber and bulbs is not a deal breaker... actually I tear down every pin I buy and clean them up and replace rubber, bulbs and coil sleeves.
 
You got a good deal ... don't sweat it and enjoy your new toys.

Advice from someone who has pins in a second floor loft: take a friend, and two sturdy sawhorses. Put the pins on the sawhorses and remove the legs. Place a towel on the top of the pin and fold the head down so that the towel is resting between the head and the pinball rails and then strap it down with a ratchet strap - not too tight, just tight enough to keep it from moving around. Now, you and your buddy each grab an end and carry that sucker down the stairs carefully. Much quicker and safer than setting the pin on its end and trying to bump it down the stairs on a hand truck.

Pins aren't that heavy for two people if you take your time ...

Now ... if you don't have a friend willing to help, you are on your own.

Good luck!

I agree 100% with the carrying part IF you have two people.

I find myself moving games by myself all the time so my appliance dolly is awesome. Between the strap and the rollers on the back I can move games around rather easily.

If you need help John let me know...
