Title: Is a Final Fight board really worth this much?
Post by: AlanS17 on July 01, 2005, 04:51:52 pm: Is a Final Fight board really worth this much, or are these guys just stupid?

I would have figured Final Fight to be a $20 board.

You may be right.

Post by: AlanS17 on July 01, 2005, 05:22:50 pm: I've got a working Final Fight board, too. I also just traded one at a value of about $30. Maybe I got hosed on that deal. I don't know. Oh well, I've still got one left. By the looks of things, though, it might be worth more on its own than in a machine!

Post by: AlanS17 on July 02, 2005, 10:23:08 am: See? This is exactly my point! It's got to be one of the most common games out there. They shuold be "a dime a dozen", right?

I guess I shouldn't complain if my stuff is worth more than I realized.

I likely will. Too bad Golden Axes aren't worth more. I've got a few of those. Ditto on Aero Fighters.

How much would you want for one of those working Golden Axe Boards?? ;D

Post by: AlanS17 on July 02, 2005, 06:04:10 pm: Well I just pulled one out today and it didn't look JAMMA compatible by the edge connector. I'll have to check.

Right. I'm just saying I don't think I have the adaptor. Someone would have to buy/make one if they wanted one of these boards. I'll have to check..

Post by: mrcram on July 03, 2005, 09:19:20 pm: I just bought the final fight kit on ebay, the one with the board, marqee, side art, manual, and monitor bezel for $185! did I spend 2 much? I really wanted this game with all the stuff though.

Post by: RayB on July 03, 2005, 11:32:52 pm: If you bought everything seperately it would probably work out to more than that, so you did ok.

Post by: paigeoliver on July 04, 2005, 12:13:28 am: Final Fight boards are worth more than Final Fight machines with bad monitors.

Final Fight KITS are worth more than working machines.

Game is super popular, lots of people want one, lots of people get their first JAMMA cab SOMEWHERE and then go compete for those boards and kits on ebay and then pay way too much.

There are a few other games like that, Ghouls n Ghosts, Ghosts n Goblins, some of the other 86-89 era titles as well.
