Zoo keeper $1200- Really!?

I wouldn't pay $1,200 for a Zoo Keeper even if it was a pristine condition HUO cabinet with less than a thousand plays. But I am a known cheap bastard, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

You'd be hard pressed to get me to cough up $1,200 for a BRAND NEW IN BOX Zoo Keeper frankly.

Yeah, same hear.
 
Don't they usually sell Zoo Keeper for $500?
Thats what I thought. He said it was 1 out of 500, of that certain kind. and its condition. which is why its priced so high. I though 600-700 was really pushing it.
 
...

At one time I had 5 zookeepers.

Sold almost all of them at $800-$900 range.
sold 1 dead one for $500 (but complete).

$1200 is a little strong.

One went on eGay recently for $800, I'd probably go $600 on a nice one but I guess that is why I don't currently have one. :D
 
What does "He said it was 1 out of 500, of that certain kind" mean?

It actually sold for $850 at the "buy it now" price. The listing is still up:

That's the only one I saw on ebay in 2009.

This guy said his ZK sold a year ago for $1600 (I asked him a few months after that when I was in the market for one):

I'm not really sure. maybe its the rare color one or what ever. But this guy was in tucson so it probably wasn't that machine on ebay.
 
Sorry for the Miss understanding everyone I have no clue If it is NIB. I don't think it is though. Even if it was NIB. $1200 going make me keep my distance.
 
He will have it for a long time. Theres some guy in so cal wanting 3500 for a 39 in 1 cocktail. Makes me laugh out loud.

There isn't a color version, that's an internet myth.

Well he's a lie!! I knew it!! just joking. but, Here's his exact words from the email for you to interpret.

"it is only 1 of 500 machines that Taito produced with the graphics on the cabinet and that is why it more expensive because of the high quality of the condition it is in and the graphics."
 
I'd pay a tidy sum for a beautiful Zoo Keeper for my collection. I know there are others who would also pay for a nice Zoo Keeper.

This is why it is reasonable for me and some others to think that we would have a nice Zoo Keeper in our collections some day, and it is unreasonable for some of you to think the same.

I mean, come on guys, some of these games just aren't listed on Craigslist on a regular basis, if ever. You have to pay for that.

Am I advocating $1200? No. But a real nice Zoo Keeper isn't going to be had for $600.
