How much is it worth?

[Q*Bert_OP]

I just purchased Moon Shuttle coctail arcade game.

It is a dedicated game made by Nichibutsu with all original: wiring, power supply board, top glass, pcb set, monitor with very little burn in, original manual and schematics, joysticks, and buttons.

How much is it worth?

Not much, truthfully.
It's not one of their more collectible games.

I'll check my price list, and see what the one that sold recently near me went for.
It was pretty low, but still higher than I wanted to go on it.

Unfortunately, this hobby doesn't work the same as the antique business does. Alot of arcade games do not go up in value even if they are rare. The popular ones are worth the most, and ironically, they are available in the greatest numbers (ie: "common").

I suppose eventually when these things age a couple more decades they might truly become "antiques" and start going up in value again, but for now it's strictly "supply and demand" and there's just no demand for bad games.

Are you saying Moon Shuttle is a bad game?

He's saying it isn't popular.   Good game or not, if people don't want it, it's not worth much.

How many $$$ is it worth???

It's just not cream of the crop, and it seems only the top 5% of games really have any "value" (only exceptions being rare prototypes, and some laser games).

But let's see photos!! :-)

About $200 if in very nice condition.

$163.51 if you're in the Northwest, the cab is in good shape, and you can find someone to pay that much.

That's what the one that sold a couple months ago went for.

Last one I saw sold around here for $50.  They just really have no market demand.

KLOV doesn't have a picture of the cocktail version. You should submit a picture of yours.

I agree with Wade, $200 if it's in nice condition.

No-name games like that never really go much above $200 in value, unless they are "fresh from the crate" mint, in which case they can go up to around $350.

I will agree that $200 tops. You might be hard-pressed to get someone to pay that much though. I'd say you'd be more likely to sell it in the $50 to $100 range.

A few months ago a mint, in the box 1970's Sega driving game was on Ebay and it sold for only a few hundred. Same company sold a mint, in the box Joust cocktail for crazy money (about 3 thousand). It's all about the name.
