sirlynxalot Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Anyone have an idea of what would be the going / market rate for a jaguar kiosk these days? When I see them pop up very sporadically they are in excess of $3000 bucks, but then they sit and no one buys them for a very long time. I'd be inclined to pay a good bit because the darn thing looks really cool, but $3000 seems overpriced. Anyone have a feel for what historical ones might have sold for in the last 4-5 years?

+madman Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 $3000 bucks seems like way too many dollar bucks. I can't imagine spending more than a few hundred on one. Who wants to stand up playing the Jag with a controller in a fixed position? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Not recent, but I paid $1000 for mine plus $600 transport back in 2003. Have it in my office at work and play Tempest Duel, Rebooteroids and any of my seven 12 map DOOM roms throughout the day. Worth every penny But yeah, 3 grand seems a little steep. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 As with everything Jaguar these days, there's too little supply for demand, plus there's the Jag fume tax. I got my Xbox (original) kiosk for less than $200 Australian. I thought about converting it to a Jaguar one, but nope. I can't imagine it'd be too difficult to scratch build one or convert another more plentiful kiosk model, and it could probably (easily) be made to look sleeker than the 90s model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MacRorie Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Would love pics of Rebooteroids running on the kiosk if possible !! Want anything special in the side holders (where the instructions go)? If so, send it to me. I will send a generic pic in a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I almost bought one from B&C back in the early 2000 and they were going for $800 then if memory serves correctly. I ended up deciding against it and probably best I did since I've moved a million times since. The ones listed don't seem to appear to be in such great shape either so I can't see how anyone justifies paying so much for a thing, cool or not.

+save2600 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 At $3k, may as well start making repros of the damned things! No seriously. I bet most of us would pay a few hundred for a brand new, ready-to-assemble reproduction cab. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather put money into a professionally done (not by me haha) arcade cabinet for Tempest 2000 and just shove the thing in there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Galactus Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I've added just about everything video game related imaginable to my collection over the years, but I don't think Kiosks will ever be on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was $250. Could be wrong, but it wasn't much. Their VP of Marketing (whose name is escaping me at the moment) was coordinating the sale.

sirlynxalot Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Was that back in the 90s? Or like, Hasbro Atari? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDork3000 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) You know these listings have "best offer" right? Make an offer and see what happens, you never know what someone might sell it for. Also, when you got people paying $1200+ for a single Jaguar game, I don't think the asking price of these kiosks are so bad, especially when you consider that about less than 50 are probably still out there. Their wasn't many made to begin with( I can't remember seeing one growing up), and most ended up in the dumpster after the Jaguar was discontinued. @Clint- what do you consider good condition? These are mostly wooden kiosks that are over 20+ years old, I think the condition is very good for the age, considering the type of material they are made out of. I've seen newer kiosks, made with mostly plastic that look worst. Edited September 23, 2017 by SuperDork3000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Saturn Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Here's quick vids of Rebooteroids running on mine. Recorded them with my phone so one is wide and the other is that vertical display that everyone gets yelled at for But, you can see more of the kiosk in that one. I'm attempting to play one handed w/ a non-properly configured Tyrant Rotary Controller. Oh, and nevermind that bag of kitten chow on the left... This looks awesome. Like one was made for the other. Just need that 'special edition' with attract mode Edit: Apologies for the (lack of) audio. Guess I should've maxed out the little amplifier in back.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
