Craigslist Find - Good Price?
« on: April 09, 2015, 03:55:30 pm »
I was a sucker for Karate Champ as a kid growing up.  I know it isnt an in depth game like SF or MK but it brings back memories.  I found one on Craigslist for $250 that is working in a clean cabinet.  Can used parts still be sourced for these if something dies?  $250 seems like a good deal but I dont know what the less popular games go for.

I'm with you- I'd take Karate Champ over SF and MK any day!

I'd check the joysticks and the screen before I'd buy. I'd say $250 is a good deal if the cabinet needs no work and the joys and screen are fine.

even if the sticks need replaced I wouldnt balk at 250.  Loved that game as a kid.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

I have a spare WORKING Karate Champ board if you need one as a backup.  I pulled it from a working machine and got rid of the ugly cabinet.
