How to estimate value?
csete:
My sister just called. She has a friend that is looking to sell a Dragon's Lair cabinet on EBay. She asked me how much it is worth and I really have no idea. Is there some place I can go to get a reasonable idea on what the cabinet is worth? I guess it is in really good shape, although I don't have first hand knowledge of that.
I'm not sure they understand the work necessary to handle shipping if necessary, so I will have to mention that to them as well.
Thanks.

Have your sis or whoever do a google search for arcade or amusement auction results, keeping in mind that "sold" prices can vary widely.
If someone else here knows of additional resouces, please post here too.

You have to account for:
- Working or not
- Defective or not
- Condition of cabinet (scratches, breaks, gouges, condition of wood--water damage?)
- Condition of side art (intact or half ripped off?)
- Condition of control panel
- condition of the LED displays (working 100%?)
- Laser player - working properly?
- Laser disc - Scratched?
- Marquee - Cracked? Scratched?
- Coin door - rusted? dented?
etc...
Depending on the answers, could be only good for parts, or could be worth... "more". :) If it's still brand new in the box, never been played, then a couple thousand. More likely though, maybe a few hundred.

That auction price site was cool.
