    Default Brookstone selling old school arcade games at inflated price

    Check it out:

    Overpriced Arcade cabs @ Brookstone

    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.
