price check pac man cocktail

I really dislike retail stores and websites. They give people that don't know better the misguided idea that games are worth thousands of dollars instead of hundreds of dollars. So he puts it up for $1250 and thinks he is doing people a favor. Those are the kinds of games that usually sit around for a loooooong time.


The paint on the topglass is cracked and flaking, and the cabinet is nothing spectacular. I am thinking $400 but he doesn't show it working, so I would make damn sure he plugs it in and you play it.
 
This machine generally sells for around $3,000-$3,500. Trust me, these machines are very hard to come by

Throwing $500 dollars at this guy probably isn't gonna do any good. When I see verbiage like this, I pass altogether unless I really want it, and it's rare.

I agree. You're not his target audience and if he's like me he's thinking "I'll put it up here for a price that if I get it, I won't mind selling it." Based on my brief experience so far, this hobby is all about patience, luck and deferred gratification.

Incidentally, I am starting to feel really good about snagging mine on CL for $275. I bought a nice working Galaxian cocktail for $325 so I guess I've been spoiled on what I though the normal price range is. But I knew I was a little lucky when I found those.

I love mine like a child, but if someone offered $3500 they would be gone like a fart in the wind. :)

I love/hate the people who have multiple games and think they are all worth the same thing (like in that Contra/Donkey Kong ad). I love the fact that you can often get a decent deal on their good stuff, but I hate that there is no way to get anything else from them and trying to explain things to them can just make it worse.
 
A lot of people like to overprice on E-bay and let it sit for someone who is willing to pay big bucks. Sounds like the same kind of guy here.
