FS Game: Pac Man full size arcade no longer for sale I'm keeping it fully operational

[HollywoodJ]

I'm selling my Pac Man dedicated full size arcade as is - original arcade with speed chip no restore but in real good condition. I purchased from an arcade dealer in Appleton, WI in 1994. I used chemicals used in the gaming industry to remove any smoke fumes (covered machine in visqueen with the chemicals in a pail for 24 hours) from the machine back in 1994. I've owned it and played it ever since in a pet free smoke free home in a finished basement with no service issues. Local pick up accepted. Paypal or cash accepted. Will ship flat rate freight shipping at buyer's expense. Pac Man $3,400.00 with speed chip $1,200.00. May or may not sell it as I opened my film studio awhile back and looking for additional potential funds. I've never sold any of my games before. Back in 1997 I donated 4 excellent condition machines to my church - they sold them 10 years later, I should not have donated them.

Thank you. And thank you to those members on my other Ms Pac Man post that steered me in the right direction.

I bought a 87 GTA and gifted it a good friend for his birthday, he then sold it and did not tell me or offer it back to me. So I can relate. At the end of the day, what he does with his stuff is none of my business regardless of where he got it from or how he got it. Doesn't take the sting away though and I learned a valuable lesson. Good luck on your reduced price Pac, that's a fair price. It wouldn't hurt to throw a carriage bolt in that control panel where you have a missing one.

Exactly. Agreed once donated its their property though I did tell them its for the kids to encourage the kids to hang out at church - didn't think I had to put it in writing with a church

Will do on the carriage bolt suggestion.

@HollywoodJ I would also suggest putting up some good pics of the side art and the interior (PCB, monitor, power supply). The side art on these is hard to find in really clean shape, especially the edges where kids' hands would sweat away the paint. And most buyers will want to see the PCB and monitor to make sure they're original. The more/better the pics are the easier the sale goes.

Thanks. What am I looking for on the PCB to show it is an original board the words Namco and Pac Man?

Just a clear pic of the PCB is enough, it's easy to zoom in and inspect. Most people just want to make sure it isn't a 60-in-1 or doesn't have some horrible hack repairs done to it. Same with the monitor, just a pic of the entire back of the game with the back door off should be fine, you can see enough of the monitor to know it's original.

I usually take one of the back of the game with the back door off, and sometimes that covers everything (power supply, PCB, and monitor). Some games you need more pics, but PacMan and Ms PacMan are simple and common so people won't be as picky as of you had a Star Wars (looking for amplifone and all the parts) or Williams/Taito games where I want to see if the entire PCB is trashed from battery acid, or if it's running emulation instead of a PCB.

Cool. I should have some time this weekend to get it done.
