Please tell me this is nobody on here!!

I would offer $800...

.....and you would be rejected immediately by anyone that owns one in that condition. I don't think the seller will get what he is hoping for but you can part a Star Wars out for $1000 everyday of the week. I've broken the numbers down before.

Yes, there are Star Wars to be had for your target price but if it has been "restored" or serviced or repaired etc, you would be lucky to find one for that price.

Best of luck in your search

.....and oh, that isn't mine. Looks nice though.....
 
Easily $1000+ if it has an Amp monitor but with a WG6100 acting up like he states $800-$900 is fair. Should have more pix of the inside, cab, and CP rather than the gameplay.
 
There are quite a few klov members who have ebay stores with games listed at prices I could best describe as extremely optimistic.

I can only assume they are doing it to try to drive the value of machines up in general or in hopes that somehow someone will buy their $2250 Defender and not one of the multiple other ones inevitably available on ebay in the $500-$700 range.

I could see putting that sort of pricing on everything in your retail shop, where your customers aren't able to comparison price shop very easily, but tossing up a $2500 Galaga machine into a marketplace where there is always a nice $750 one available doesn't seem to make much sense.

If people were actually buying those games I would set up an ebay store full of $2000+ games too. I wouldn't even actually have to own any games either. If one actually sold I could just buy one somewhere else, have it shipped off to my buyer and still pocket $1000 profit.

I know this is a classic, and a game I want in my collection some day. But damn.. Really!! 3 to 4K??

I seem to recall a couple of months ago someone on here getting strung up for doing that very thing. It was this whole drama production. There was an emasculated man...his desperately pathetic helicopter wife...was quite entertaining. ;)
 
"good picture"
"only thing is sometimes when you power on only half the screen shows up"
"Monitor recently professionally repaired"

No one mentioned the obvious problem with the CP hinge being screwed to the front panel.

Nor does he post any picture of the right side.

My machine was in better shape, and worked 100% when I bought it for $300

There's always someone with more Dollars than Sense though..
 
The difference is that I wouldn't buy it from some unsuspecting seller and then have him hold it while I tried to flip it.

I would simply wait until something sold (say a Defender or something, as I would only list the common stuff), and then come on here and say "I need a collector quality Defender, wrapped in cardboard and strapped to a pallet, paying $1000". I can't imagine I would have too much trouble sourcing one within a day or two of making the sale.

However this stuff doesn't actually move at those $2000 price points (no matter how many times the pros list them that high), so that business model wouldn't actually work.

I said that's what I would OFFER!!
Do you not watch Pawn Stars?
You gotta learn how to HAGGLE!!!

It's like CLs are you going to paying their asking price?
Usually not, you can most of the time get the item for less than the asking price.

If I don't list a price on an item as "negotiable" in a CL ad, and then someone tries to haggle, they're getting a closed door in the face. ;)

On CL, I expect the haggle. But what I hate is the major low ball offers and comparison to "Someone sold it on eBay for much lower than you, so you should lower your price" crap. eBay and CL are two different animals.

Oh, and back to the thread topic at hand, I wouldn't pay that asking price for a Star Wars...unless it was a chair. :wink:
 
The KLOV price for that cab if it has an Amp... $1,200 to $1,500... WG... $1,000 to $1,200... need it gone price $800-$900...

Retail price? $2,300-$2,500... with warranty (if you could find someone to give you one)...

Sucker price? What this guy is hoping for. That said... there is one born every minute.
