What is a fair price for a nice Stargate? A guy in my area is asking $1500 or trade. I know its a crazy price but what is it really worth?
 
$350 fully working and in above average shape. $250 working and average.

If that SG was still in the box it might pull $1500. :)
 
If a Stargate was local to me in good working condition I would go to $400, maybe $450.
 
I want to say that I remember a Stargate pop up on the Portland Craigslist within the last couple of months for $400 or $500, and the ad was gone by the end of the day.
 
depends on condition. cig bunrs on CP, monitor bezel scratched also Plexi vs glass bezel, cab side art is it faded and/or cracking.

I would say $1500 would be a home owned/new price. Normal price range would be $400-$650. If you really cant find one, I have a cab in SFBA I need to finish fixing.

I think the people that said 400 to 500 for a clean one were right in the ballpark... I was in your situation when I found a very nice, but dirty Defender locally. The seller wasn't really following the game scene, had no idea of the value, and was figuring $1000 as a starting point.

Without being a dick about it, I made him what I considered a fair max offer ($450) and told him I'd check back in after a couple weeks. I did that, and since the seller got no bites anywhere near his asking price, he took my offer. He was still claiming "you got a helluva deal!" as I loaded it up, but still I think he realized his original asking price was totally out of line.

Good luck, a really nice Stargate to sit next to the Defender is one of my goals!
