How much to sell for?
« on: May 14, 2003, 01:53:01 am »
I recently bought a non working dr.mario machine for $30. I originally was going to use it as a MAME cab, but found nintendo to be a kinda crappy system to convert. Besides that i got the thing to work! So now my question is how much do i sell it for. I just decided i want to start fresh with an empty cab. Thanks for you help.

$100-$225 depending on how clean it is, how good the controls work, and how good the monitor is.

If it is a good worker but nothing special, then list it in the newspaper at $200, and don't go under $150 or so.

Local paper is the best place to sell low dollar games like that. My paper lets you put in ads free if the item is $200 or less (bargain box).
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.
