Nintendo Donkey Kong Jr. Arcade Game.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6127827826&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

I dont have a single arcade system in my collection right now, but I was just taking a look on ebay and there is a guy selling a arcade game like 10 minutes away from me. Thought I might bid on this one.

I have no idea what "this" item is worth roughly.

What do you guys think is a fair price?

Thanks.

listed price seems fair enough for me :)

I see decent looking DK Jr. cabinets going for $400-$600. Cabaret cabinets usually go for 1.5x stand up prices ... so I'd expect $600-$800 to be the going price for a good quality machine.

I agree with Flack on this. I watch the auction results for vid and pin auctions around the country (not E-Bay ones) and they seem to go for around $400 - $600. E-Bay is a strange place and things often go higher on there for some reason. I think the bidders on E-Bay tend to be less informed on the subject, and people just bid on impulse on E-Bay

I do have one piece of advise-- contact the seller and make sure he will allow local pickup. I know this sounds strange but I have heard many stories where the seller insists on charging for shipping.
