It seems like everyone is picking up BZ this month.

I picked this one up in pieces as a basket case, rebuilt the monitor, and got it cleaned up and working. It looks great, there are only a couple dings in the art. Someone got a bit of white overspray on the left side of the shroud, but that is it.

The screen is bright and clear, warms up quickly, plays perfectly.

Unfortunately, it isn't the game I thought it was, and it never gets played, so I am thinking about selling it. Not real sure on a price though. I have seen values from 300 to 900, but I am thinking something in the $400 range, given its condition.

Thoughts?

I have one, and I will be fixing it up at great expense

I don't think I'll ever sell it - Unless I had absolutely NO room and no food to eat for my family

I love these old classics

I think 5 people in Australia have one, they may be less rare over there :)
 
Is the blacklight working in there and the flash washed it out or are you blacklightless?

$400 is likely the top-end of what you'll get unfortunately. Battlezone isn't loved by all.

I agree, $400 in this market in California would be very tough right now. I guess it depends on how badly you want to get rid of it. I'd guess around $275-$300. Sure doesn't seem like much does it. I just got that for my fully restored Track and Field and I threw in a non-working Hypersports board and delivered the game. I am sure glad I don't need to make money from this to pay the bills.
 
Sure glad mine is a keeper as I've sunk about $600 in to it total... there's no way in hell I'll ever even break even.
 
eBay BIN/BO $500 -- Local/Craigslist $300 -- KLOV buyer $175
 
$400 is very fair and I have rarely seen an UR cabinet that clean. Good luck. I love the game and enjoy playing it, but I am sick of moving the lead filled Atari cabinets so I bought a mini instead.
