Post by: BUCKETHEAD on September 16, 2006, 01:18:37 pm

Trying to cut a deal with someone who wants $375 for a Ms Pac-Man / Galaga 

20th Reunion JAMMA board .

I am offering $275 for it .

What price would you guys think is too much for this JAMMA board ?

Is my offer unreasonable ?

Thanks so much !

Well, This price was kind of stupid to me, but I saw a whole cabinet go for 1300 last year at an auction.  It seems like the board would be worth at least 300 if the cabinet went for that.

Also if you do an e-bay search of completed listings there are two that went for 399 and 416.  Maybe you should try to meet the guy in the middle.

Thanks,

 
That's what im trying to do.

Just seems to me that,

You could almost buy a MS. PAC-MAN, PAC-MAN & GALAGA original PCBs,

For $375

I know i bought my MS. PAC-MAN original (WORKING) pcb on Ebay last month for $93

Who knows though ??

While you COULD buy original PCBs for that price (or close), another thing to consider is the age.  This is a very new board and thus should be more reliable in theory than older PCBs.  It's also a convenience factor with having all the games on one board.

I'd pay $300 for it personally, but it very likely is "worth" more in the open market.

Convinience is the key here.  With the original Pac-Man and Galaga hardware, repairs are fairly straightforward, as the hardware is well documented and parts are plentiful.

Ever look at a reunion board?  Could maybe fix it, IF you could find schematics.  Thing is scary.
