Title: For Sale: Crystal Castles 2 player cocktail table
Post by: marknetwork on December 06, 2009, 01:02:24 am

Hello,

I have a Crystal Castles 2 player cocktail table for sale with all original artwork intact and two working illiminated trackballs.  It was working 100% last week but the monitor just went black.  I can hear the monitor turn on and the game start but I cant see anything on the screen.  Please make me an offer if you are interested, I am not sure how much this is worth.

Thanks,
Mark

Part of it depends on where you're located.  Right now WMASS/CT/RI is flooded with games. I know a guy who would probably deliver his UR CC to anyone within a reasonable distance for 175 American. A year ago I would have easily paid 500 for one. A guy on these boards can't give away an UR Asteroids in Idaho for 300. So let's start with where you're at?  And do you have pics?

He's in Canada which really makes setting a price even tougher.

Look Mark, those cocktails were a very limited run. However the game itself doesn't appear to be a highly sought after title. But on the other hand if this thing is in excellent condition you can command a bit more money. Most of these I've seen are rusted, the over lays are torn and the glass art is chipped in many places and/or the glass is scratched to hell. Considering no one makes the repro art anymore doesn't help the resale value. If you have a machine that is physically sound in non working condition I'd start it ~$400. If it's fully functional I would set the value at ~$500-$700.
While the run was limited so is the fan base of this game. Remember you can always come down in price if need be.
