It's subjective, sure - but there is a reasonable amount. If it was $10 - we would know it was a good deal and if it was $3,500 we would know it's a bad deal. He's asking people in the hobby what they feel the value is worth.

Did you guys look at the pictures?  Looks more like a poorly constructed MAME cabinet than a Galaga machine.  I especially like the misaligned marquee.

well crap... somehow - I didn't even see the link. It's value just dropped... alot.

Buddabing:
I'd say an original, dedicated, working Galaga in good condition with a nice monitor is worth $800.

The machine in that picture may be a working Galaga, but that's about it.


GoPodular.com:
No sideart.
No cpo.
Non-original cabinet.
Unusable marquee.
Looks like a bottom mounted reunion joy on a wood control panel.

*MY* max price: $100.  Maybe $150 if the boards are clean and the monitor is new(er).  The boards are all that this has going for it.  The rest is more of a liability than an asset.  Probably not worth talking to the guy unless you were after the Star Wars he has peeking into the Galaga picture...  THAT might be an $800 cabinet, the others aren't.
