Estimated worth of pac man, joust and space invaders

[lordtodd75]

I don't have any pics yet but I found someone that is getting rid of 2 pac mans, a joust, and a space invaders. All of these are working without any issues and the condition of the cabs are near mint. I would say the pac mans and the joust are a 9 out of 10 and the space invaders is an 8 out of 10 due to some small scratches on the front. What are they worth and no I will not divulge the seller, not yet anyway

$1200 for all 4 would be reasonable bulk offer.

Assuming the condition is as you say individual reasonable prices:
Pacman $400
$300 Joust
$250 Space Invaders.

That seems way too low for mint machines.  A good condition Space Invaders would easily go $450+.  I think you are looking $500 - $600 each for that condition (and that would still be a good deal).

I'd agree if the market wasn't crap for games right now.  I think those prices are pretty much spot on.

Well...mint-ish?  Hmmm...$400 for the Joust, $300 for SI. 

[shardian]

Well I am assuming he wanted prices as to what knowledgeable people would pay. If he wants the 'dumbass with too much money' price guide, I'd be happy to oblige.

[SirPeale]

Well, OBVIOUSLY he should offer the least amount of money!

Are you suggesting that he should offer top dollar for machines? I always try to barter with them! then again im not made of money!

[shardian]

In this economy, you flash $1000 in cash and odds are you'll get all the games and a shot at the guys 18 year old daughter.

No, of course not.  I'm just saying that if the buyer doesn't go for a low offer, you can go higher and still be getting a good deal.  I'd love to find an SI in that kind of condition for under $500.  I've tried to buy three of them so far in worse shape and all have gone for higher amounts.

ruh-roh, I made an offer yesterday and found out that they have a collector/appraiser coming in to appraise the machines, until then the owner won't entertain any offers. I will keep you all posted.

Also, as soon as the prices are made available I will reveal the location of these machines. I am not trying to be greedy but I would like first crack at them.

Well sorry, but you won't be getting these machines now. Appraisers give jacked prices for insurance purposes. That poor seller is gonna think his Pac is worth $2000 now.

We wouldn't expect any less.  You found 'em, you get first crack at them.

You could be in trouble if they use a retail price.  They can reference some of the sites like quaterarcade.com and arcadeshop.com that can charge $1200 plus for these and get it.  The seller will also need to determine how long he wants to sit on these.  You can get those prices if you don't mind waiting months/years for the right buyer.

what happened with this?  ready to give up the location yet?
