Who wants to buy my collection? **UPDATED 1st POST**
(Original post is below)
So, I've been working on my games with the intention of getting as many of them working and reassembled as I can to better entice potential buyers. Since doing this with several of the games, I've reassessed the conditions shown on my list, while keeping the prices the same as (or very close to) what I already had them at.
I'll be updating the list and adding photos as I get more games done. In fact, check the end of the thread for some photos now.
I've pulled a couple of games off the list that I've decided to keep for myself, and I've added a couple that I've decided to now part with, so it's pretty much a wash.
I'm still not to the point of wanting to sell these individually, but I'm not ruling that out for down the road.
The asking price for the entire collection is still $3500, which is a great price.
Here's the updated list of my stuff:
If you have any questions, or if you are interested, send me a message.
Thanks.

So, here's the deal... I haven't worked on anything in earnest for over a year, I downsized my living arrangement, I'm paying for monthly storage to keep some of the games I haven't gotten to, and I simply never play the games I have that are working.
Long story short, I'm getting out of this hobby. My daughter is keeping her multi game that I built, so there's that. But it makes no sense to keep paying for storage and to keep trying to find room in my house and garage for the other things in my life.
So I'm going to offer my collection up at a killer price. I used Exidy as a start for pricing and I was extremely honest in assessing the condition of each game, making adjustments in the prices. I'm coming up with a low "Blue Book" value of $7,750 for everything I have (this includes all the games, parts, hardware, artwork, CP's, extra monitors, etc...)
So $7,750 would be a great deal for all the stuff I have. But since I want to sell it all at once and not worry about having to try getting rid of it one piece at a time, I'm going to cut that price in half.
That's right! My entire collection of arcade stuff is going out the door for (*EDIT*) $3,500. Heck, I'll even give someone that's interested a little wiggle room on that price. But I can't go too much lower because I'm going to use the money from this sale to pay for my daughters braces (teeth, not legs)...
**EDIT** This listing has been updated. I had forgotten that I promised to sell my Tron game to a local collector, so that game is no longer part of the lot. Also, after plugging in the Galaga last night, it wasn't booting up properly, so I made those changes to the listing.
Because of this, I'm also adjusting the price from $3,875 down to $3,500. Still a smoking deal though.
All prospective buyers have been informed via PM.
