Is $300 for a Mario Brothers machine with a bad video board considered a good deal? The machine is playable but the guy says the screen is squished and has black bars. (Cap kit may fix it)

I'm really flip flopping on this. I wanted a Super Mario Brothers, but maybe a Mario Brothers machine would be better. I'm contemplating on getting this. What say you?
 
It's open to opinion here obviously....
$300 for a widebody that looks that good is worth it in my opinion.
 
I'd offer maybe like $225-250.Even at $300 it wouldn't be a bad deal at all!Especially since the problems don't sound major.

$300 sounds about right for a complete working one in fair condition. I think you could talk him down to $220-250 given the monitor issue and noticeable damage to the cab. If it were fully restored, I would say it would be worth $400-500 as mentioned.
 
Re:

I would say 250-300 would be good, that's what I paid. It looks like it has some kinda of damage on the bottom right front? I have one in similar shape, but my monitor needs a capping, but it works.
 
Talked to the seller and they are firm at $300. I slept on it, and decided it's a good deal. Looks like a road trip on Saturday! If everything works out, I will post photos once it's home.
 
Thats a great deal for a wide body...and its complete..the bezel and marquee are really hard to find...you can always get the new cpo from quarterarcade since they did silkscreen repros..cab work no biggie..nice pickup..
 
I'd say its a pretty good deal for that price, a lil cleaning up and it'll be nice. hopefully one day I can find one
 
It's not bad but if you feel ok with the price then get it. It should go to a good home where someone will get it in better condition.

All of the hard to find pieces are there so that's at least a plus. The price isn't great but is ok. I just got one in worse shape but for only $100 last night.
 
Well it just figures. Someone contacted her while after I emailed her and said they would be in tonight to get it. This has been on CL for at least a week. Unbelievable that someone would move on it now that I decided to get it.

That sucks man but seriously don't post jack untill the machine is in your truck! You don't score untill you score!

Yeah man , never even consider it yours until its in your truck and your driving away , flipping the seller the birdie .

Look at it this way. You were hesitant about buying it anyway.

But if you really wanted it bad, you could have called back pretending to be someone else or had someone call for you and offer $350. :D
