Hey guys,

What are everyone's thoughts on a original, dedicated, functioning Tempest game be worth today? Or what would you personally pay. Cosmetically 9/10 lets say. Thanks!
 
IMO, the estimates of 700-1000 were true a year ago, but given the fact that the monitor parts alone have been selling for that much recently, and the boards have been selling for $300+, I'd say that's on the low end.

Yes, there are barn finds, and people who have sitting in their basements, who are unaware of what they are worth, so it's possible to find them for less, but when you add up the value of the parts, 1200-1500 for a top-condition cab isn't outrageous, IMO.
 
Here in Arizona and surrounding areas it seems tempests are offered for around 1,000-1,200 and they sit. Under a 1,000 and they fly instantly. For a 9/10 with new spinner and such I'd say 1000 to sell quickly and 1100-1200 to sit for a bit and get those low offer bidders until someone sees what it really is.
