To sell or refurbish a Ms. Pacman Upright

I obviously don't need three, so I was thinking about selling 2 of them, once repaired, and keep one for myself. The game works flawlessly, the cabinet etc. have standard wear. There are no spots that have been painted over, and the side and front art are visible although faded. The question is whether it's worth it to repaint the cabinet and either re-stencil the artwork and/or purchase new vinyl artwork or simply sell them as is? Does the complete refurbishing demand that much more money on the private sale market?

Thanks.

There is no way anyone can reliably answer whether of not it is worth it to fix and sell the Ms. Pac-man games without knowing what is wrong with the games or seeing the condition of the cabinets. Knowing how much time you are willing to put into these projects, as well as, how much you bought them for and also want to sell them for.

You weren't specific about what was wrong with the two non-working ones, and you've posted no pictures.

Whatever. I'm not the one who pulled the thread up today. (And what I said is still relevant).

No, but it's not a big deal.  I'm sure the OP is going to check his thread now.  Heck, it's only been since September of 09 when he logged in last.
