Title: Approx Value of...
Post by: Gumby on April 16, 2004, 10:50:51 pm
Was wondering as to the approx value of these arcade machines (not looking to sell or trade at the moment)...Assume they are 8+ on a 10 point scale...

Assault
Playchoice 10 single monitor  (I know it semi matters as to what games are in it..)
Bionic Commando
Multi-Williams (in a Defender cab)
Space Fever Cocktail

I live in Seattle if region matters.

Thanks.

Your region is really only a major factor if you don't plan on shipping them...


Assault - probably around $350 tops to most collectors.  I passed up on a mint one for $250, didn't want it.

Playchoice 10 - I've seen 2 monitor playchoice cabs sell for around $400 in my area (detroit, mi), figure $50-$100 less or so for a single monitor.

Bionic Commando - Loved that game!  There was one in my university student union, it saw lots of play.  Unfortunately as most 80's jamma games, if found in a generic jamma cab (dynamo) I wouldn't expect to pay more than $125 or so for it.

multi-williams - probably the most valuable game you listed.  The boards alone are probably worth around the $200-275 mark if complete and in working condition.  Figure a decent Wms cabinet can be found for $50.  eBay prices for multiwilliams cabs can be around $1000 or more, but you can build one for much less like I did (http://www.oscarcontrols.com/sinistar).

Thank you very much Oscar...I had somebody offering me some trades on my cabs, but I wasn't sure if it was a good deal overall value wise (I do realize that alot of value matters in what you want and how bad you want it)...

Appreciate the info.

I got $350 for my Assault, and it had NOS sticks installed. And do you REALLY have an 8+ Assault? Never seen one without sideart damage.

Playchoice machines are all over the board on pricing $100-$700, single monitor machines worth much less.

Bionic Commando $100-$250 (add $75 if 25" cabinet).

Multi-Williams $800-$1200 (exact pricing will varym since like Mame cabinets, their tends to be a lot of variations among "Multi-Williams".

Space Fever $150 - $200. 13" cocktails are never worth a lot of money.

Dude, I've been looking for an Assualt!  I'd only pay up to $400 for a MINT one though, most I wouldn't go past $300, but again, it's location, condition, desperation!
