Is $250 for Space Invaders Cocktail a good price?
« on: July 27, 2006, 08:10:53 am »
There's a posting for a Space Invaders Cocktail on craigslist for $250. Is that a good price? How collectible is the cocktail version?

Sounds a little high. I found an upright Space Invaders in a thrift store for $250 and I talked them down to $200. Make the guy an offer. Never hurts to ask.

Not sure on the rarity of it but it's a nice looking cocktail.

There's a SI cocktail on Ebay for $75 in Tennesse. Granted, it could sell for alot more by the time the auction is done, but that at least gives you a bit of a reference.
$6.75 the hard way-one quarter at a time.

If it works and has been gone through, yes, it's a good price.  Not hella cheap but you are getting value.

Agree (only posting since there are always a bunch of opinions and only the posted ones get counted).

Thanks everyone for the feedback. If the consensus had been that it was a great deal or a rare find, I might have have made an offer, but I'm going to pass on this one. I really have no space for it anyway.

Few games are cooler than a well working SI with an upgraded sub.

If I ever get my mitts on an SI, that is a must-do mod ...

Agreed. I always crank up the sub on my cab when I play SI or Asteroids...

I need to upgrade the sub on both my Space Duel and Asteroids Deluxe.
