Need a little help with this. I acquired a Nintendo Playchoice 10. The guy bought it new and the counter has around 9,000 plays. NO screen burn on original monitor. Cab is in pretty good/great condition. I am trying to find prices on the PCB's that are in it. They are:

Mega Man 3
Super Mario Bros 3
T.M.N.T 2
Tecmo Bowl
Yo' Noid
Super C
Rad Racer 2
Captain Skyhawk
The Goonies
1942

I've attached pics of the carts and the cabinet. The light behind the marquee still has the original tape on it.

I don't know them all offhand, but it's a pretty solid list other than 1942.
Cart prices fluctuate depending on the current demand for that title.

If you really want to get an idea, goto the parts for sale section.
Go up to search, click this forum only and search each title. You will see at least what the asking prices are for each one.

If you just acquired the machine, is there a reason you need to know the value on each cart?
For me, i use what we use, sometimes swap them out, sometimes i sell or trade them.
At a particular time, i just look up whatever cart it is want to let go.
 
Most average carts are selling for $60-100 these days.

The more desirable title will net $150 or more to the right buyer
 
I would ask the same question as @jcar302 - if it's one you just acquired isn't it a little late to be asking about prices unless you are planning on flipping it? In any case, the cart prices fluctuate a ton - it's all about the timing and who is looking for the carts to complete their set at the time. Because of this, I can't say exact dollars but will group them for you. Your style cab is one of the last runs of PC-10 and is the only dedicated upright PC-10 that was ever produced, all other uprights are either dual monitor conversions (from PO) or single monitor conversions (from DK or VS). Later run units are an acquired taste so to speak...positives and negatives. Overall the build on yours is with particle board, while the older cabs are plywood. Your cab does not have a Sanyo or a Sharp monitor, and has its own dedicated unique sound amp (producing just a limited Nintendo hum, if any). Your cab is also in immaculate condition, which is also a plus and makes it more desirable.

Group 1: Most common - average price under $100 each
- Super Mario 3
- Tecmo Bowl
- Goonies
- 1942

Group 2: Semi Rare - average price $100-$200 each
- Super C
- Rad Racer 2
- Captain Skyhawk

Group 3: Very Rare - average price $200+ each
- TMNT 2
- Megaman 3
- Yo Noid
 
Thank you for the insight. It is in fact up for sale. As I am not an "arcade" guy but more of a pinball guy. I just didn't want to over price it or under price it but offer it at a (what I think is fair) price.
 
Keep in mind, unless you are separating the games, selling in bulk or with a machine does not yield the same value as selling individually.

Agree 100%. I didn't realize OP had the unit for sale.

OP - if you are selling the unit with the 10 games, my prices for the games by themselves are almost completely irrelevant. Very rarely does a buyer of a PC-10 cab have any preexisting games, and the average buyer of such a unit probably won't care much if at all about the rarity of the games. The primary care will be does it have 10 games and do they work.
