Merry Christmas everybody! Since I've got about a month and a half off before school starts back up, I want to pick up a game and get restoring (I still have that stupid Wrestlefest in my garage until I get a new cab/monitor). Being the holidays, everybody is coming out of the woodwork to sell their games around here. Now, maybe this is the noob in me, but I feel like most of these prices are pretty high, especially since I know I'd need to restore the cabs. LMK what everyone thinks!

Call me a noob, but I feel like this cab is pretty washed out, it looks liked I'd have to redo the artwork on her. What do you guys think?

There's also a seller up near me with a Frogger for 250. According to him its "a little rough" (so I'm assuming I'll have to redo the cab lol). I emailed him to get pix and I'll post them when they arrive.

Any ideas? Any suggestions for someone with the arcade game fever? Thanks everyone! Merry Christmas!
 
I wouldnt go more than 400 for a Ms Pac. Holidays always inflates prices. Id wait till after the holidays if I were you.

I don't even need to see pictures. Simply laugh at the seller and walk away.

If this is the case, even more reason to not bother negotiating.

I sold my Frogger in very good to excellent condition with original sideart for $300. And it took a few days to sell.

Be patient. I bet you can find better deals.

ya thats the price I was feeling too, I would never go that high on any game that worn thats not a pin lol I just wanted to make sure I wasn't out of line for my thinkin. Anyone else got any ideas/suggestions. Right now I've got the following maybe there's something I can do with what I've got:?
Wrestlefest board
a mangled cab without a monitor (thought about making it a mame or a really basic arcade game and just customize the heck out of the cab)

shocker of the century, the guy selling the Mrs. Pacman ended up being the guy who sold me that POS Wrestlefest :p lol
 
I would go $200, if he loaded it into my truck for me.:eek:

i ended up not replying to him. He said he'd do a grand, which is insane to me, and hes also the guy who screwed me over on that Wrestlefest. I love how he tried to justify the cost, "I just rejuvenated the monitor (remember this is the guy who sold me the cab with the jacked monitor lol) and put a capacitor kit in it so it is in great shape mechanically. Yes you could restore the cabinet but it doesn't make slot of sense because it's in very good shape for an original ms. Packman [yes thats how he spelled it]."
