Title: Did i get a good deal ? (MS. PAC-MAN)
Post by: BUCKETHEAD on February 03, 2006, 09:06:39 pm

Just curious how much this MS. PAC-MAN below is worth?

Everything works, But it has no board in it.

So i will have to buy a MS. PAC-MAN board for it.

Just wanted to see if i got a good deal ?

Thanks!

Bucket ...

Is that like 100 US dollars ?

If so ?  I paid a little more than that for it.  ;D

Without a board, maybe $200 us ? $250 tops?

Actually, I always though cabarets were worth more than either of the other formats.

I'd say it's worth $500-600 working and boards are around $150.

Looks like i got it at the right price then.

I paid $250

I knew it was rare, I have seen the mini PAC-MAN.

But i have never seen a MS. PAC-MAN  cabaret.

So that's the reason i picked it up.   ;)

More like $177 US dollars. Your dollar is worth about half a pound.
1 U.S. dollars = 0.564588979 British pounds

I've honestly never thought of it as being rare in that form, but I could be wrong. It might be more desirable for some because it takes up less space. I gotta say I like the cab and cabarets in general. I have a cabaret DK myself

Where do you get the boards at?

Being rare in Australia, I would say about $500+, which is about US$370

I sold one like that working at an auction for $550.
Without the board those go for at least $200.
