Okay, so apparently the kits are expensive.

I am looking for either an Indiana Jones kit or a Peter Packrat kit.

I have $250 to spend. This is all I have available. If I can buy your working kit, here's what I will promise:

1) I will pay you promptly.
2) I will not intend to resell the kit
3) If I do decide I no longer want the kit (unlikely), I will offer it back to the original seller for the same price I bought it for.

I will be honest, I don't have $400+ to drop on a kit. Thought I'd give this a shot. Can't hurt to try.

As a fellow who has owned all but the Peter Packrat kit, I will give you one man's experience/ idea on pricing.

-I picked up a complete Roadblasters for $99
-I pieced together an Indiana Jones kit for $216 shipped total.
-I sold the Roadblasters kit for $175 shipped
-I traded my Indiana Jones kit for a Road Runner kit (dude I traded with had found the complete Road Runner cab on his local CL for $250, stripped the kit and traded with me)
-I restored the cabinet and installed the Road Runner kit
-I paid $385 shipped for a MM kit (dude in Florida)
-I sold the Road Runner kit for $275 shipped
-I installed the Marble Madness kit into the restored Sys cab and sold it for $1050

So I guess what I am saying is that anything is possible, but you're gonna probably need to find a cheap working machine locally to strip one of the kits from, or piece a kit together from various sources. My Indy kit was pieced together from John Exidy (control panel), Quarterarcade (daughtercard) and another Klover (marquee). If you end up with a stripped Marble Madness panel, you can get the trackballs from Bob, and also I know where you can get a CP harness made. In order to play MM, you'll also need a motherboard with the Leta chip, not all RB motherboards came with one.
 
$250 for an indy kit is pricey.

I paid $175 for mine shipped.

Also paid $400 shipped for a MM kit.

Will not disclose the deal I got for my NIB PPR kit, since it was a steal and doesnt reflect actual prices, which seem to be an easy $350 on up.

Roadblasters, I was given a full working roadblasters for free...

I know where a Road Runner kit is now for I think $300 shipped.
 
ill sell one for 250.00 picked up, or 280 shipped

My buddy never would give me an answer about selling me his MM kit so I better hang on to to my Indy Jones kit for now.. Sorry man.

No worries, but thanks for the update :)

Have been working on an Inmdy kit for a little while now, but no response to my last offer. If nothing in a few days will PM the other people that offered.

Had a line on a Roadrunner, but it sold, and the stuff on E-bay (to me) seems way overpriced.

Patience is my friend here :)
