I know...I know..you guys are going to HATE this question, but I am asking for opinions because I really haven't been in the "selling" part of the hobby for a while..

I am selling off the rest of everything I have, except one machine..

SO..I need "pricing" opinions from you guys. Honest opinions please! I know EVERYONE will have a different idea of what something is "worth", but I am trying to get ideas for "fair" prices to offer, and not just on KLOV

I will try to decribe each item as best I can:

1. Dig Dug upright machine: Everything is original on it. The CPO, MARQUEE, & Glass Bezel look really good. The side art is good too..not a lot of wear and tear (suprisingly). The monitor will need a cap kit. It is getting dim. Everything works though. I was thinking $350-400 was a fair price? Right or wrong?

2. Donkey Kong upright. Has a multi-board in it. I think it is a 19 in 1, can't exactly remember (I should go turn it on sometime..lol). Anyway, new side art, CPO, monitor bezel, marquee, buttons, and t-molding were installed last year. Re-painted baby blue because the old paint was fading. I have NO idea what to sell this for? Suggestions?

3. Track & Field. Right now this is a "kit". Has ALMOST everything to build a nice T & F. I just haven't purchased new side art yet. Has new buttons, cpo, marquee, monitor shroud. Monitor works fine, slight burn in. Purchased board and power supply from QuarterArcade. Two questions: Would I be better of building it and selling it OR just sell it as a "kit"? No idea on the price to offer for this either..

4. Misc. parts and stuff that I am just going to advertise here and then throw up on Ebay if no one wants them.

Anyway, thanks everybody for the input! Decided to get out of the hobby for now. Have had some sudden issues arise that have taken away my time and dedication for games. But it was a great 10 year run!

Take it easy

Anyway, new side art, CPO, monitor bezel, marquee, buttons, and t-molding were installed last year. Re-painted baby blue because the old paint was fading. I have NO idea what to sell this for? Suggestions? Hmm... this is a weird one. You are probably best off selling the 19 in 1 and throwing an original DK boardset back in there. Then, it would probably be worth $550-$600 if it is really nice.

No idea on the price to offer for this either.. You'd be better off building and selling it. I would expect around $300 or so.

I don't claim to be any expert on pricing, but that is my best shot at it. Always start a little higher than you would expect and then lower the price over time. :D
 
don't you have some laser games as well?

I would be interested in seeing what the dk cab is all about. Is the monitor flipped horizontally?
see ya bud

Indeed.

IMO, Track N Field is one of those games where having sideart is only an added value to a KLOVer or collector. Most the general public wouldn't care less if it didn't have it. Shouldn't be too detrimental to a CL sale, as long as it works.

Good luck on your quest to clear the space.
 
with it looking all sweet, you would have a chance at $400.

A guy in natomas couldn't sell a pretty nice one for weeks at $225 though.

That's where having yours with new cpo, buttons, and fresh paint has a good chance.
