Overpriced Arcade cabs @ Brookstone (http://www.brookstone.com/search/search.asp?N=0&Ntk=product&Ntt=arcade&D=arcade&act=A30&search_type=search&search_words=arcade&cmid=hdr_search)

3k for a ms. Pac man/Galaga cab? 6k for a golden tee game?

You can go to arcade auctions and get these games for $600-800 or under. Well, maybe golden tee would be worth that on the open market, but..

I have a Namco Arcade sales sheet right here, the manufacturer's suggested retail price for a brand new Galaga/Ms. Pac-Man is $3,495.00.

So...no, that isn't overpriced at all.

I could see that, and then again, these games are brand new, so that changes things. Used ones go for much cheaper at auctions though.
