I bought a Super Sprint a while back from an operator that has games at 1 location only. The operator wants to sell all their games and get out of the business. The owner of the establishment wants the games gone.

I purchased the 2 pins out of there last weekend for cheap. There are 22 or 23 games left, a crane and a change machine. You can see pics of the games here.....

The games that are powered up seem to work, the games that are off did not power up. A couple played blind, but the rest had no signs of life.

3,500$ - 4,000$ looks like there is some good titles in there
 
I would say $1000 - $1500 for all of them. Some of the non working ones could get expensive to fix. The size of half of those will limit the market for them, and there are a lot of games in there that would probably be hard to sell. Maybe more up in Washington as games seem to sell for more up there.

Hot damn there are some nice Dynamo cabs in there. Two Big Blues too!
 
When I bought a bulk of games like that I offered $100 for non-working and $200 for working. He thought that was fair. Loose on some gain on a lot. Then cost average them all after repairs and such. That's how I would go about it. Good luck

I count 4K and not a penny more. That's paying about $50 bucks for shit, and as high as $400 for stuff like the Crazy Taxi, or the twin driving game. $200 for the dead daytona set, etc... $300 for the MVC2. $200 for carnevil, $100 or $150 for the working junky games.
 
The problem is so many are dead. Any that aren't on in the pics don't turn on. I'm hoping to work a great deal and pass the games onto the local collecting group for great prices and craigslist the rest. I appreciate the deals he's given so far and told him I'd try to help him get rid of the rest.

If I get them I'll have to rent a truck ($100), haul them out (alot of time) and store them until sold (probably have to rent storage for a month $150).
 
Got a call back and the deal is dead. The owner of the location decided to buy them all, which is strange since they had nothing but complaints about the games. No biggie, just glad I go the pins out of there. - Barry
 
I'd say $50 for non working and $100 working. possibly up to 300 for an expensive working game. Keep in mind the larger the game the less its worth because people don't want large games and they are hard to sell most of the time. These are just my general rules not based on these specific games.

Sounds to me like the owner of the location read this thread and choked on his energy drink after seeing the low offers he was going to get.

I'm guessing the owner bought this lot for next to nothing and is planning a quick flip. Or they could all be getting tossed into the nearest landfill if there were so many complaints about them. :(
 
barry that link you posted does'nt work.

I might be interested in something.

I deleted the album as this deal is dead.

I don't know what to think. I pulled a non working Super Sprint out of there for $50. Last weekend we pulled 2 pins for $900 (RFM and South Park), His initial price on the rest was $5000 which was too much for my blood. I would have done $3000. His prices are all over the place. Next time I'm up there I may ask what they got them for. - Barry

I'd be curious to find out. It all seems so odd. Maybe you should drive by the landfills occasionally as well.
 
Wow you got quite amazing deal on the South Park Barry..

Was it really beat up with it not complete? was not working?
