    I think my arcade machine days are over. Maybe a nice multicade though.

    $1000? Ouch!!! I think the seller has one too many zeroes on that price!!!

    In that shape, that machine is probably only worth around $300 at best.

    I never paid over $250 for an arcade machine in the past. I did go higher on a couple of pinball machines though.

    It also depends upon the title and the condition. I've seen Ms. Pacs fetching $1000 years ago, and now they're lucky to hit $600. Since the economy is still in the toilet, prices are still pretty low. Once it gets better, you can bet that prices on vids will also climb a bit. I've seen near mint Froggers sell anywhere between $150 and $450. Timing and location...

    Same thing with pins. Theme and condition mean a lot. I remember when you could get a very nice Medieval Madness for $5000, then there was the surge where I saw them fetching $11,000-$17,000. Economy tanked and the prices dropped, but they're still around $7000. Heck, I had a chance to buy a Twilight Zone for $1200 about 10 years ago but passed. Next thing I knew, they were $3000 machines!

    Oh, and location also seems to be a factor. A pinball machine in California that sells for $1200 may only sell for $700 in a place like Iowa, or even on the east coast.
