price check: How much is a galaga worth?

I think galaga can have a wide swing because of the name recognition. Maybe like 450 or so complete working in average shape
 
Yeah, but that dust is a potential hazard. Get enough of it one place and it might gang up and form a dust bunny!

:D :D :D
 
I have priced mine in the past for 750 and 700 once or twice. That one is pretty nice, but probably a 5-6 on condition. Better than most you find, but it could be better. Most of the art is good, but it needs a CPO. If your a stickler for side Art, theres a hell of scratch/gash on the side showing. You can't tell from the pics whether the monitor bezel is the original glass one and whether its flaking. I've heard stories that all the art on Galaga is up there now so you may have to figure that into what you want to pay. There are no indications of the how well the game works from his pics. Assuming a decent picture with a board that is fully functioning price should be 450-500. If the monitor works but has problems, its probably just in need of a cap kit, but if you can't do it yourself, your looking at about 100 bucks to send it to someone like arcadecup. If the board has problems and you can't repair them, you can figure 100-125 to get that fixed. Definitely look at the bottom of the cab carefully. This is an mdf cab and if the game is sitting directly on concrete from where the castors have given out or it just has some water damage, it may be a game you don't want to mess with as these tend to deteriorate badly in the wrong conditions. Beware of excessive sawdust. Just some things to keep in mind.
