    Default Space Invaders

    I have never bought a arcade before and have a chance to buy space invaders, non working i really dont know whats wrong, but was wondering if $300 was a decent price? Or what should i look for that i should stay away from it. Like i said i have no experience with arcades and fixing them. Is it worth the trouble??

    That's too much for a non-working one. Maybe a little too much for a working one unless it's in perfect shape.

    Non-working games, $50-100 at most depending on the condition.

    I was thinking the same thing but really had no idea. He said the cord is cut so he cant even plug it in to try it. Would $100 be worth it though?? how much do parts normally cost??

    I wouldn't pay more than $100 for anything that is broken. $50-$100 is a good rule of thumb, depending on the condition.
