What is a dedicated Q*Bert worth, in average condition?

I bought a decent looking q-bert (solid art on CP and bezel) with no sideart for $300--if that gives you any idea of going rates.  I needed to repair the neckboard on the monitor but it was a pretty straight forward repair.

I've seen some in fair to good shape range from 600-1500 u.s. dollars

Really?  I had no idea Q-Bert went for those prices.

You're smoking crack. A Q-bert with under 2000 plays went for $1600 a little while back. That is FAR above "fair to good" shape. We are talking near MINT.

Just 2 days ago another NEAR MINT one sold on Ebay for $910.

The days of $1500 "common" classics are over. The market is dead. People who want certain games either already have them or would rather put their money in a mulitgame. I went to a Superauctions about a month ago and I don't think one classic went for over $600. Two Star Wars uprights went for $500 each. Those things used to bring $1500. Meanwhile, one guy brought like 10 Multigame cocktails to sell. Each of them sold for $1700-$2200. Cha-Ching.

The best way to figure values is to check the Ebay completed auctions. A Q-Bert in good, solid condition is $400-$600. As for "fair to good", $300 tops.

Peace.

I actually think Q*Bert is too hard to be fun.

Right here in Lewisville.  Yeah, it's an 05 tag.  This was (not) earning it's keep until a few days ago.

Q*berts are notorious for losing sound. It has to do with too much power flowing through the sound amp chip. Google around to learn about the fix.

I thought $350 was your working price.

That was when when it wouldn't come on.  I have a local guy coming tomorrow to check it out anyway.  Probably put it on RGVAC if nothing else goes.  i don't know...... (mainly depends on if I sell my Biscayne or not).
