toptenmaterial Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I have always wanted to get a Galaga machine (or the Galaga and Ms. Pac-Man combo). What's a fair price to pay for one of these, either the stand-up kind or table top? Did you guys ever buy off ebay? This isn't a want ad, but more a dream for the future....

keilbaca Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The combination machines are still going for a good bit, because they're updated hardware, and they're still being cycled through arcades. It would be cheaper to get a dedicated cab of each one. For a nice conditioned Ms. Pac, you're looking at $600 to $800. Not sure with Galaga.

toptenmaterial Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Thanks. I thought of the combo cab first because it is the only stand-up version of Galaga that I've played. I have seen Galaga on it's own as a table top, still pretty cool but just doesn't command the same prowess in my humble opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 If you're talking about the Reunion cab, I've seen them anywhere from $800 to $1200. Consider that you could get a 60-in-1 board which have both games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he doesn't smoke cigarettes. Rob, I took a look at your extensive collection of machines online. I bet all of the neighborhood kids must want to play over there! Now here is something I'm wondering: have you guys ever bought cabs online or off ebay? Ever had them shipped to you? If so, I'm wondering how it worked out- in terms of both the quality of the product, and coordinating a shipping time to be there when it arrives.

VectorGamer Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Now here is something I'm wondering: have you guys ever bought cabs online or off ebay? Ever had them shipped to you? If so, I'm wondering how it worked out- in terms of both the quality of the product, and coordinating a shipping time to be there when it arrives. I never had anything shipped. Everything was picked up in my mini-van. The farthest I've traveled was 3 hours and that was for that Monaco GP cabinet. It's a one of a kind and the most played cabinet at my Retrocade parties. Also, my cabinets were purchased at auction, eBay and off of Craigslist. Edited July 27, 2011 by rmaerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian O Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I bought a refurbed Ms. Pac-Man / Galaga a couple of years ago for ~ $1200. You can unlock the original Pac-Man, too -B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Space Invaders cab on eBay from a seller in GA (I'm in NY). The shipping company delivered it to my house within a six hour window (the driver called me at work - I live about 20-25 minutes from home) and wheeled it up into my garage. No problems or damage incurred in shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never once seen one below $1000 in the Portland metro area. Portland coin op., Mountain coin, and all the other small time sellers list this $1200 and UP and I mean WAY up. I think if you could get one under a thousand dollars you have done well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEgamer Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Sometimes these games pop up for pretty cheap on craigslist where I live. Most are what people have said, around the $1k range, but if there's a bunch on craigslist in your area, you could wait until a deal shows up. I've also seen a few cocktail versions of each game selling for a lot less than the cabinet version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Melville Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 If you get the upright reunion you are looking at $800-1,000. I could have sold you a cocktail two weeks ago on the cheap. It may be cheaper to just find a cheap Midway style cab, throw a Jamma adapter in there and buy a board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
