I personally wouldn't pay that much for it. I don't know what games cost over there in Australia, though. Plus I don't know anything about the value of the Japanese Taito model. I'm only familiar with the American Midway model. And even at that, I'm more familiar with Space Invaders Deluxe (since I own one).

I can't nail down a good price for you, but this seems quite high. However, the seller mentions there are less than 300 in Australia. SI is much more common here in the US. So I don't know...

This thread has probably awoken the angry sleeping beast, CHAD!  :badmood:
He lives to destroy the "is it worth it" threads. Hide, diverdown, it's your only hope.
Also, the price seems a little steep to me, but it depends on the Australian availability. You may be paying a premium based on that.

Don't be too quick to judge, he can always pay a little extra to have it sharpened.  :cheers:

I thought it was $$$ a little exe



In Australia though we have to pay a minimum of about $500 a cab, that wouyld get you a cabaret style or simple upright in working condition.  To give you an idea an original good condition Simpsons 4 player cab would go for $1000 to $1500


This thread became mute when my wife saw I had "watched" it in ebay.......dang the "remember my" tab. Apparently I have better things to spend my money on
