couple of arcade games

[carlcarlson]

I don't know much (if anything) about arcade games, but I came across these recently. I don't have a ton of money, so I can't afford to keep either of them, so they would be to resell. Both are said to be all original with great sound, great picture, great everything. The first is Pac-Man, the second is Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. What would these be worth roughly? Would anyone here be interested?

What state do you live in? If you're close to more potential buyers then you'll get more money. I'd say around $700-900 if they're in good working order, maybe more. Just a guess though. Maybe post in craigslist $1000 (or whatever people believe to be the highest going rate) with OBO. If someone pays up then do it, if you get a bunch of low offers then look at other options.

Sorry for the confusion, these aren't mine. I found them, and was considering buying them to resell if they were worth it. Right now the Pac-Man is $1000 OBO and the MJ is $500 OBO.

At those prices you would probably not get what you are spending for them. At least not here in GA.

They're being sold a fair price, so you won't make back much. That Paccy looks like it's in nice shape though, sometimes they sell in the $1200 range but that's up to fate if you were to attempt resale.

[carlcarlson]

alright, thanks for the info guys, that's what I wanted to know. i guess I'll pass on them.

I really wouldn't pay more than 3-400 for a Pacman to be very honest. 1 grand? That's wishful thinking unless preying on the ignorant.

That's what I tend to feel. Generally it's the ones wanting to just spend the money to attain one that'll do the $1000, somewhat makes me think of those that will pay $5-15 for a SMB/DH not knowing it's current resell market rate.
