What is a fair price for Donkey Kong?

I posted this also at RGVAC, but I want your guys advice also.

I just found out today that a family friend of mine has a working Donkey Kong in their basement in great condition. They say they also have boards for DK2 and DK3 with it. They are willing to let it go, but they want me to name the price.

I want to be fair with them, yet I don't want to get ripped off either. What amount should I offer them for the cab and the 2 boards?



paigeoliver:

Working Donkey Kongs are all over the place. Low end is $300, high end is $1000. I would personally offer a $100 bill for it.

saint:

Don't DK2 boards go for between $100 and $150 because you can turn them into DDK boards?

Paige is a lot more into this than I so I'd trust his instincts on this. I was going to say $350 for the DK would be a fair price for a DK in good condition. That's without the DK2 and DK3 boards.

paigeoliver:

Oh, $350 is also a fair price. But they might very well accept $100, you take the game away, and all parties are happy.

After all, the only real price of something is the one both parties can agree to.

Also, the value of the high dollar raster games has been on a nose dive, lately. In another 18 months that Donkey Kong might not be worth the price of its parts.
