Hey everybody. Newbie here.

I may potentially be moving out of the country on a job assignment for a year or more. I'm trying to decide what to keep in storage and what to sell.

I have a baby pacman. I like it, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if i didn't have it. It's the only arcade game i have, so i'm not trying to clear out an entire collection here.

I'm trying to estimate it's value. Last i knew (about 5 years ago) these were going on ebay for 700-900. I know these are pretty rare, and i can't find any for sale right now. Maybe i just don't know where to look?

It's definitely well-played but in pretty good condition overall. The outside is good, the pinball board shows wear on the ball tracks. It works perfectly. all the lights, and switches work properly. the video monitor works, but has funny artifacts when it gets warm, but it's certainly not unplayable. "battery problem" has been fixed, and the circuit boards are all in quite good shape.

Anyone know what a machine like that might be worth today?

Thanks,
Mike

Where are you located by the way? I also thought that was a cool game.

$500 is definitely reasonable as I also scoured eBay and Craigslist. If you are near Pennsylvania I might take you up on that machine. Only Pacman game I liked better than Baby was Super Pac.

Regards,

Brian

Oh well, not worth as much as i thought.

I paid a little over $1000 for mine around 6 years ago.
