Possible Arcade machine deal... Help!
« on: May 02, 2006, 12:27:05 am »
I have chance to get a cabaret Pac-Man, a upright Donkey Kong, an upright Pole Position and a pinball (Fathom by Bally) from a local guy. They all look pretty clean and as far as I know except for the Fathom are 100% working.

He said he'd sell them all for $2000... I don't wanna pay too much... and he seems open to offers. What do you think would be a fair price for these machines?

Actually that sounds about right price-wise.

Shop and repair the Fathom, and you'll make all your money back while keeping the other games.

Those Fathoms usually get a good amount of cash on ebay.  I think you'll do just fine on this deal.

Sounds fair enough to me too. All pretty high demand stuff. You shouldn't have a problem selling any of it.

Well, it's not all as sunny as I'd hoped, but I'm in it now. And for LESS than the original asking price, so I'm happy there.

The DK's picture seems cut off on one side, the Pac is looking fine monitor-wise, but only displays random stuff, and the PolePos only gives a white screen. I'm sure the DK and the Pac only need adjustments/cap kit/reseated roms/cleaning ect, but the PolePos worries me.

When we FIND the KEYS i'll be doing some serious work, and if we don't find keys by wednesday... we drill our way in!

And damn, you were right. I've already had a handful of offers on the Fathom!
