Picked up a Cyberball twin monitor 4 player game. Rastar monitors. Only one works at this time. I haven't messed with it yet. Part of a package deal. I don't even really want it. What do youthink I oughta sell it for. Cab is in decent shape & it is complete as far as I can tell. Thanks.
 
Depends on whether you're going to get it working or not, and of course what condition it's in. From my observation (and this applies to me), there aren't that many cyberball fans, but those who are really love it. So it might be hard to sell, but if you do find someone who is looking for one they might be willing to pay good money for it since they're not exactly omnipresent. So if you're not in a rush to get rid of it, it wouldn't hurt to list it high, and then after a period of time drop the price if no one bites.

I paid $275 for mine, not working (got it working easily though). It is a cyberball 2072 though, and I would expect those to get more money than the original. No side art, but otherwise in decent shape. Did I overpay? I'm sure some would say I did. But it was a grail for me and I figured it might be a long time before I get another opportunity to buy one. The lady originally wanted $400 for it though and it took a couple months of periodically checking back with her to see if she was willing to take less, so it turned into quite a victory for me.

I would suggest you play it for a while though - you just might find that you don't want to get rid of it. :)

Believe it or not, this game was a $1500 even 2 years ago.
Lately the price has dropped around $500 for it.
Personally I rather keep both mine than sell them for anything less :)

Thanks a bunch for the replies. Good info. I was a teen in the 80's & frequented the arcades. I don't remember any of the cyberball games. This one is from 1988 if memory serves. I plan on getting it working, but no restoration. Cab is solid but markup up from the years. Otherwise appears complete. One monitor has decent pac-man burn. The other looks to be original with vrey little cyberball burn.
 
I remember when the Aladdin's Castle in my hometown mall had one of these. Seemed awesome back then. I haven't sought one out, but it would be a keeper if I came across one. Makes Atari Football look ancient for sure.
