How much can I sell a working Spy Hunter stack for?

I recently got my Spy Hunter going again and decided to test out some other boards I have.
One of them had a graphics problem, but with some chip swapping, I got it up 100%. I've got a 3rd set that plays great, but all of the letter 'B's are missing.

I'll probably keep one set for a spare, so how much would you offer for either the working set or the set minus the 'B'? I could probably fix the 'B' by checking some EPROMs but it's such a hassle with all those metal plates and such.


I saw a 3-board set on Ebay just sold for a whopping $190. At prices like that, I don't understand why the entire working game gets no interest for $400 or so.

I think the reason for that is that a die hard fan who already has it, will pay that for a working pcb to fix theirs. But someone who isn't really into the game, thinks $400 is too much. We all know prices double or cut in half from week to week, or go for absurb prices to someone with the money and desire over commonsense. I would put it out at what you want for it, and if it sells good, if not, oh well. I just restored one to fully working from a $60 non working project. The pcb was about the only working thing. Not a game I like playing.
Good luck with your sale.
 
I'd say a tested working board set would be $100-150. the game is not a top dollar game IMO. I may be jaded though because I've owned 4 or 5 though.
