Opinions about sale

I cant post in Buy/Sale forum yet because im a new member, however im trying to find the going price on a 4 player US Xmen, USED. The board is good, but the power supply is broke. I was thinking about buying this one from my friend, but i cant find a good price on ebayto compare it to. Hes asking about $800 for it but i dont know if thats a good price.

This thread will probalbly get has been moved to "Arcade Misc."


I think it's worth about $300-$500 once fixed

and the power supply would just be a standard switchin power supply which costs about $30 from Happ

If its not fixed, how much would it be worth broken? 300-500 minus the $30? i really dont want to repair it,  id like to take the guts out and put a PC underneath it and make it a mame machine.

If it's not working, but you absolutely know what's wrong with it, it'll definitely be worth the value minue $30. If it's just not "coming on" and you're not completely sure what the problem is, then it's hard to say what the value is.

Why would you want to M@ME(tm) it?

If you fix it up and sell it on Ebay you will make some profit, be able to get another cabinet, and have extra monef to go toward

Well i already have 1 mame machine, thats running on a PC with a TV for a screen. I might just buy it and then keep it as xmen. Or sell it and put the money into fixing up my other mame machine.

BTW, the power supply problem might be the power switch rather than the power supply.

How would i be able to diagnose the problem? Trial and error? BTW i Qbert, i noticed you have used joysticks and buttons for sale, what items do you have?

[pointdablame]

$800 is wayyyyy too much, even if it works.

I got my 4p dedicated Xmen fully working for $250.  It has some slight burn in on the monitor, so if the monitor is in great shape, maybe I'd pay $300-350 if I REALLY wanted the machine.

[Q*Bert_OP]

Peanut, PM sent about buttons and joysticks, as posting here would be off topic.

[peanut]

Alright im offering him $200 about the xmen. Qbert i sent you a Pm.

[paigeoliver]

Anyone capable of knowing the board is good and the PS is bad is capable of fixing the machine.

I am always really wary of high dollar games that "just have a bad power supply".

[ChadTower]

Agreed, I see that a LOT. 

"Oh, yeah, the game is good, but the power supply is dead"

Be wary of that, that's the typical answer that actually means they never looked into it.

[Stingray]

I don't think that game would be worth $800 if it were still in the factory shipping crate. $200 is more than I'd be willing to pay for it if it isn't working. I'd go maybe $100. Like Chad & Paige said, sounds like the guy really doesn't even know what's wrong with it and is only guessing.
