Robotron price check

Ya not alot comes up for sale in western canada period. That's probably part of why his price is so high. I have seen the cabaret for sale at flippers, but I'd rather have a fullsize upright. If I could get it for 500-600CAN it'd be a good deal I think. But for 1500 it's obviously ridiculousy high priced.
 
That price is definately on the high end of the spectrum (maybe it comes with $900 in the coin box?). I will also add that robotron is one of three arcade games that I actually see "sell" on ebay.
 
That's the BIG part of the problem. They do not come along up here. Pins/arcades on the west coast of Canada are fairly sparce to say the least. Nothing like I see down in the states that's for sure.
 
At that price, you could have a better condition game shipped to you.

+1 if you really want one, id look into this option. you sound like you really want one and if they really are that hard to come by Go For It...spend some money to have one shipped...
Good luck
 
I'm Eastern Canada (Ottawa) and had a helluva time trying to sell mine...
( .... Where were you last year ! ;-)

It was in nice shape with new CPO and NOS 4" sticks.

I wanted $700CDN for it, but ended-up selling it for $550 CDN .

[NB. This game is SOLD . I don't have it anymore ]

$1500 CDN is absurd !

$800CDN would a little high for a prestine one,
but not outrageous.

For the one you're looking at, $500CDN tops .
 
Thx everyone, KLOV comes through once again. I REALLY appreciate all the great advice. My friend in town may also be interested in it. So we'll see how it goes, if we offer him a 1/3 or so of what he wants hahahah

For 500 bucks I'd be calling in sick to work and driving to Penticton tonight, shitty CPO or not. 1,500 just seems like an awful lot, especially after reading this thread. Did you ask the guy about side art, Tom?
 
Hmm well so much for any decent deals haha. He said he had 3 and has already sold 2 of them for 1500 by 'word of mouth' He also told me robotron players were VERY passionate about their game. Anywayyyssss...back to robotron on the mame cab for now :(

The guy sounds full of shit to me. Yeah, he had 3 of them...bullshit. And all of us Robotron owners are so passionate that we'll pay $1000 or more....wrong. I hate bs sales pitches. I know you said Robotron's are rare in Canada, but you'll run into another one eventually. Hopefully then it will be at a reasonable price and not for sale by someone full of shit.
 
Yeah, typically these are around $500 or less. At $1500 CDN he's probably just hoping to make a 1000% profit.

Please - let me know where you can find them for $500 or less in nice working condition.


For a mint one it's not out of line to expect to pay $800-$900

$500-$800 in decent cosmetic/working condition

<$500 for all others
