Price Check? Working Taito Alpine Ski, dedicated upright, some flaking on the bezel, otherwise very nice, what is a fair price for one of these? Is this one of the harder to find early Taito games or is it common? Any thoughts?
 
$1200

...when you factor in the emergency room visit you'll incur when you get so pissed at that game that you smash through the glass with your hand.
 
+1 to that.

The game's method of increasing the difficulty leaves something to be desired.

With each iteration of applying your 'bonus time', it speeds up the rate of the countdown timer.

It's ridiculous because it gets to the point where it clicks off an entire bonus timer in a second or two.

Oh- snap a shot of your bezel and control panel color scheme. Mine is a funky mismatch and I can't tell if the wrong bezel is there or if it's some kind of fading.

I have one. I love it. My best is 168k on TGTS settings.

I think if it is in the original blue cab it should be valued higher than if it were in another.

Wrong bezel, should match up to your CPO...
 
That is a space dungeon bezel

...

Alpine Ski = low low value :(
Ive owned several in mint condition and sold them for $50-$150 each.
I think they have become a little more rare, but not sure if its increased their value.

As for the bezel, yeah its a Space Dungeon (a very hard bezel to find). A couple of years ago I would have paid top dollar for that bezel :)

I love to find me a mint Alpine Ski!:( The two I ran across both had water damage...

I hear you about that bezel.... but thanks to Joe M. the search is over!:D
 
they've become more rare dedicated and it's really difficult to find a nice marquee & bezel thats not all flaking. I'd say at least $300 and up in nice shape.
if anyone has a nice marquee & bezel pm me I'm interested.
 
I sold a near mint marquee a while back for $50ish. The marquees/bezels tend to flake, so if someone really wants a nice one they might have to pay for nice parts. The game isn't terrible, but it's not that good. On top of that, the artwork is boring.
