Hi all,

I have a possible lead on a purchase of some video games.
Some working. Most cabs in so-so or poor shape. Burn-in present.
All upright cabs, some probably conversions.
No pics, no more details for now.

- Golden Tee (25" monitor I think) working
- Centipede dedicated/original
- Puck Man
- Arkanoid in an unknown cab

Anyone could chime-in with the approx value of these vids?
Not much as-is these days I think...

Also, I am looking for the link to identify arcade game cabinets from their side profile,
but could no longer find it in MAACA.  Anyone bookmarked it ?


Thanks!
- Sylvain.

salut Sylvain

- Golden Tee (25" monitor I think) working
: D'après-moi les golf n'ont pas une grande valeur mais je ne connais pas le marché pour ce type de jeux.

- Centipede dedicated/original
: Tout dépendamment de la condition de 500$ a 1000$

- Puck Man
: Celui-là doit etre un kit game et une copie entre autre, moins de 500$, les kit ont très peu de valeur ( En Asie le nom original était Puck Man mais a été renommé Pac-Man au USA et plus tard une copie du nom de Puck Man en kit est venu remplir des cabinets génériques.)

- Arkanoid in an unknown cab
: Arkanoid aussi est un kit game, mais ce n'est pas une copie d'une autre game comme Puck Man et il a un peu plus de valeur, avec une bonne esthétique, de 500-800$

Merci ti-jacquesx et HAL9000.

J'imagine que les prix montrés pour les machines sont probablement pour un état
tout restauré (cabinet, control panel, moniteur recapped, etc.)...

- Sylvain.

Les prix que j'ai mis sont pour des ''normal wear'' mais des machines en bonnes condition fonctionnelles, tout restaurer ca peut valoir plus, mais des kits games, restaurés ou pas, la valeur reste basse car peu de demande a mon avis.

Not to disagree, but I sold an extremely nice Centipede for $600 and a nice Arkanoid for $350 a few years ago (when the market was much "hotter") and I've only seen prices drop since then. I think you'd be lucky to sell these games for those prices these days, even with excellent cosmetics and functionality.

My two cents.

Id have to agree with Cooke.  A nice centipede would probably fetch $500 in today's market.  Arkanoids in generic cabinets are a dime a dozen at the Starburst auctions.  The Golden Tee might be worth something, if its a 2004 or higher.  I know the older ones aren't worth a whole lot.  The Puck-man is the real rarity here, depending on condition and originality I would guess.

Id say the whole lot (without details) is probably worth the same price as one classic Stern pinball.

You are right, but sometime people want to sell too fast and they drop the price. I sell few pins here and no vids but i have experience selling objects for 2-3000$ and 95% of the potential buyers just want to make a super deal but when you take your time to wait for the buyer who really want the object you can sell higher. I received regularly ridiculous offer but i always sell for a fair price to the right person.

arkanoid: 200$ not a penny more!

Tu ne la désire pas asser   si je serais vendeur je passerais au prochain !!!  

j'pense que j'ai vendu la mienne 100$ ... ou p'tre 150... ca fait trop longtemps, j'm'e souvient plus !

Sylvain (& HAL), don't mean to be negative, but I don't feel they are worth those prices at all.  I would say more like:

- Golden Tee (25" monitor I think) working
Note Sure.  
- Centipede dedicated/original
$500-$600
- Puck Man
$350-$500 (if the Cabinet is original and PCB is midway).
- Arkanoid in an unknown cab
$150

Vids are dead.  That won't change.  HDTV and iPod Touch/iPhone are more entertainment than an old Vid (and can emulate them also).
