How much is Space Invaders Deluxe worth?
« on: September 17, 2004, 03:53:30 pm »
I recently aquired one with a busted monitor, but the cabinet itself is virtually like new with all original parts. It has never seen the abuse of an arcade as it was originally bought as a gift for a dude from his wife. It has been regularly cleaned are cared for. In fact, it was during one of these cleaning sessions that the monitor went out. So... what's a Space Invaders in PERFECT conditoin worth (sans the replacement monitor and perhaps a minor scratch here and there)?

I have one as well (although not nearly as nice of condition by the sounds of it) anyways, all the ones I saw sell on ebay went for 199 or so--some didn't even get bids.  With a machine like this (i.e. a sequel) its luck of the draw finding someone who really wants one of these, compared to the "original" space invaders.  

If you are selling start at 199 and see if it goes from there--who knows--ebay is a fickle mistress

 ;D
its better to not post and be thought a fool, then to whip out your keyboard and remove all doubt...

Oh I'm not looking to sell. I want to actually keep this one. A classic is a classic, and this is an addictive game (at least for me). I just wanted to know its value.

Arrgh, misread the title for some reason.  If it's in great shape (like you describe) I'd pay around $300 for it.
