Is this "Original" Donkey Kong for $500 on craiglist reasonable?

FrizzleFried:
No side art either...probably a DKJr conversion.
Crowquill:
Claiming that it's "original" could be one of two things:

Guy's lying about that and might be lying about other things too.
Guy's clueless and really thinks a DK cab should be bright (orange) as the sun. He might even think he has a "rare" version.

Still, $500 for a working DK is fair.
modessitt:
Looks like it was converted from a Mario Bros. as those are the only dedicated Nintendo cabs I've seen that were orange, although there may have been others.

Who cares?  $500 for a working DK in pretty good shape AND a stool?  Not to shabby....

Buy it.  Paint it blue.  Chase the monkey.

Donkey Kong Jr. cabinets were orange.

I asked the seller a few questions and here is his answer:


--- Quote ---Hey Jon.  I have no idea if its a Donkey Kong JR conversion.  I looked on the back, didnt see anything.  I see where there was some type of tag, but nothing legible.  I could take some pics for you if you want.  The monitor works perfect, I have never had a problem at all.  no flickering, no shaking, no shrinkage. perfect.  only thing is that it usually takes about 30 seconds after you turn it on for the game to pop up.  If you tell me where to look I will try to tell you what type of monitor.  The coin thing works fine.  The only problem is that I dont have the key to lock the door.  Any other questions please ask! Thanks for the interest!!!

Sounds like he really doesn't know what he has there...just a casual player who picked it up it seems.  I bet you could low ball him and get it for $350-$400.
