Author Topic: what is this worth? pac cab with extras and pics (Read 4512 times)

wfg97079 · « **on:** February 16, 2005, 04:35:38 pm »

Pac cab, no art (well, some very rough some has been sanded off)
original coin door, marquee, back door, glass
A few control panels that fit the cab (would be great for swapable cp's)
a pac panel converted to some taito game, has extra button holes (unpopulaed)

a pac panel setup for a trackball with some kind of ugly centipede overlay (unpopulated)

a pac panel setup for thundercade with 2 8 ways (wicos I think) and 3 buttons each (I think its 3)

A pac panel with decent overlay in great shape, needs joystick but has buttons (I also have 2 replacement overlays one with space for extra buttons, one standard pac)

has coin box and mechs too.

Its for a multi panel project that I will just probably never get to. ANy input? Located in Mass

No monitor? No game boards?
How about $50-$100

wfg97079 · « **Reply #2 on:** February 16, 2005, 07:06:52 pm »

prob worth selling the parts individually then?
I mean the glass and marquee are like $50 alone right?

Crazy Cooter · « **Reply #3 on:** February 16, 2005, 10:11:12 pm »

I think ~$40 (+shipping) assuming both are in good condition. That's what would really determine it. I'd be interested in the coin door if you do part it out. Let me know.

I have picked up some rough shape Pac cabs for ~20-25$ in the past.

I paid $61 for an empty Konami cabinet with glass, over/under coin door (no mechs) with keys and coin bucket, 2 Happ Ultimates and 14 buttons on the panel, and a JAMMA harness, so that $50-$100 is a good estimate for what you'd get for it on eBay, although as others have said cabs can be had cheaper. I'd probably part it out unless you can find a local buyer.

Here are some pics of what Im selling
http://www.miltonsoffice.com/pac
I can also thow in a working ms pac board and possibly a new switcher harness from arcadeshop.com, and enough orange t-moulding for the cab
All of the panels, including the 2 joystick thundercade one, are pac panels so they would be great for a multipanel system. Also there are two brand new overlays, one is an original pac and one is a pac with no p1 and p2 start button graphics to allow for extra buttons, I bought it to fit the panel with the extra holes.
Has quarter mechs in it that seem to work fine. Also have a yellow back door.
Let me know if you have questions

Questions:

Where in MA are you? I'm in MA and have been looking for a Pac/Ms pac.

wfg97079 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 28, 2005, 12:43:13 pm »

Amesbury, about as northeast as you can get

ChadTower · « **Reply #9 on:** February 28, 2005, 01:48:30 pm »

Still not THAT far a drive, I'm on the RI border. What are you thinking of asking for the stuff? I'm not really interested in all the extra panels, but if you must sell it all as a lot, it won't kill me.

What I've seen, really, is that the cab you showed, with the parts already in it, is like about a $50 cab. The marquee and stuff could be parted out and sold separately, but then you're stuck with a cab that has little value to anyone and you've still gotten about $50.

Anyone can feel free to jump in and correct me if they feel that's unfair.

wfg97079 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 28, 2005, 02:01:13 pm »

Well Ive seen cabs without the marquee, cp and coindoor sell for almost $50 (I think I paid $40)
I dont know if that seems reasonable, what do people think?
What parts would you be interested in. I would probbaly prefer to sell it as a package as someone could make a pretty kick ass system here, but if I need to part it out it I will.

ChadTower · « **Reply #11 on:** February 28, 2005, 02:06:45 pm »

Basically, the cab and the extra art pieces (which I didn't figure into the price I gave). Oh, and the T molding, if that's the proper T molding for a Pac. Honestly, I'd likely make it a mame based multipac and restore it to its original appearance.

menace · « **Reply #12 on:** February 28, 2005, 02:07:43 pm »

normally i try and make some money on stuff, with the exception of arcade stuff--i usually either sell it for what i got it for, trade it for something cooler or give it away--in that order. If you're interested in maximizing profit--sell it on ebay. if you are looking to meet people, haggle and not lose your shirt in the process--just sell it for what you got it for.

my reasoning behind this are as follows: how many people do you know or have regular contact with give a rats behind about mame, arcade, parts, gossip you read on the boards etc? I know very few so I welcome the chance to talk shop with other similarly inclined people. just my .02

Keeping in mind that Menace's point is a good one... do you have stuff you need/want that would make good trade value? I am a long time console collector and have a LOT of that stuff... plus I have, as does everyone here, some bits and bobs of arcade stuff lying about.

dropped you a PM chad
menace thanks for the post
Thanks

ChadTower · « **Reply #15 on:** February 28, 2005, 03:26:20 pm »

After further consideration, I've decided to drop out of the running for this one. Just don't have the space. Someone buy this from him!

wfg97079 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 28, 2005, 03:37:00 pm »

Its cool chad, I know what you mean about space

anyone else have questions let me know

Crazy Cooter · « **Reply #17 on:** February 28, 2005, 10:25:06 pm »

Let me know if you part it out. I'd take the coin stuff, and the orig overlay if the price was right...

SirPeale · « **Reply #18 on:** March 01, 2005, 08:47:21 am »

So how much are you asking? Is there a monitor?

wfg97079 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 01, 2005, 10:55:37 am »

no monitor, Im open to reasonable offers. with the board and harness basically all you would need is a monitor. Let me know what you think is fair

SirPeale · « **Reply #20 on:** March 01, 2005, 10:58:47 am »

No art, no monitor. Does have a harness and the possiblility of a board, but that aside, it's worth $50 together. You could get more parted out (since I see a marquee and a populated CP) but that's a together price.

wfg97079 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 01, 2005, 11:52:29 am »

Sorry, I dont know if I mentioned, has a brand new complete harness from arcadeshop.com and a working ms pac board. Those alone are about $300
Maybe I should part it, who is interested?

SirPeale · « **Reply #22 on:** March 01, 2005, 11:58:34 am »

So...you've got everything but a monitor? Why don't you just get one and have a complete machine? You could likely get a used one cheap from someone local.

wfg97079 · « **Reply #23 on:** March 01, 2005, 12:19:29 pm »

Well, basically I dont have the time or space for it and I could use the $

SirPeale · « **Reply #24 on:** March 01, 2005, 12:20:54 pm »

Exactly. Get a monitor for $50 (maybe even less) and sell it as working.

wfg97079 · « **Reply #25 on:** March 01, 2005, 12:23:21 pm »

Maybe Ill ebay it as is and see what happens, but your right, i could probably do well to sell it complete and working

wfg97079 · « **Reply #26 on:** March 01, 2005, 03:48:49 pm »

Didnt sell, any interest?

RayB · « **Reply #28 on:** March 11, 2005, 11:59:29 am »

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, bids on auctions with no photos. That's like Ebay Seller's Tip #1: Must have photos.

SirPeale · « **Reply #29 on:** March 11, 2005, 02:00:01 pm »

I'll give you $1.33 and a can of 'Pringles.'

wfg97079 · « **Reply #30 on:** March 11, 2005, 03:23:19 pm »

I love pringles, but no

Even though I linked to the pics huh?
Maybe Ill relist

I never noticed the URL for the pics until I saw you mention it here. Your best bet is to put the pics in the auction. I think $200 is pretty stout for for a pac cab in that condition. I don't think I'd go over $100, myself.

wfg97079 · « **Reply #32 on:** March 11, 2005, 03:45:31 pm »

Isnt the board itslef worth $150 at least?

RayB · « **Reply #33 on:** March 11, 2005, 03:49:16 pm »

Considering Ebay lets you insert the first photo for FREE, you really should have bothered.

ChadTower · « **Reply #34 on:** March 11, 2005, 03:52:30 pm »

Okay, I'll help you out on this one. I'll re-up my offer of $75 and I'll come get it.

Lilwolf · « **Reply #35 on:** March 11, 2005, 03:59:11 pm »

I say you should spend a day on it and then put it out.

1) Forget about the extra control panels. Its confusing.

2) I would paint it... The artwork is really bad shape and unfixable. But a fresh coat of paint (sand first) will either make someone happy... or make a base for new sideart if someone else wants.

3) I would use the new control panel overlay on the control panel.

4) I would buy some new T-Molding. About 19 bucks and then you just tap it on.

5) I would buy a used monitor. They are about 20 - 50 bucks if you find one...

or...

buy a new one. Someone on ebay is selling 145 + 25 shipping for a new happs... (this will work I'm pretty sure... ask around).

so for about 250 bucks for tmolding, monitor and paint... you should be able to sell it for easy 500+

Or part it out.
