Pong cocktail table

[ls650]

I have an opportunity to buy a Pong cocktail table. The unit is not Atari, but some no-name clone. It operates okay. It's two to four players, and has both pong and hockey (with goals). The cosmetic condition is okay, and the quarter feed mechanism is working.

 

The guy wants $150 for it. I am really tempted... even when I'm not playing Pong on it, I could throw a table cloth over it and use it as an extra table for light objects.

 

What do you think?

What kind of shape is it in?

Shouldn't this be in the arcade area?

Oh, probably.

If a mod reads this and wants to move it to arcade, please do so...

Talk him down to $75 to $100. Otherwise its not really worth more than that for an arcade pong clone (there were so many), especially in todays home market for arcade games.

 

I had bought one for $75 from a guy on ebay, but got ripped off when it came time to come pick it up (no phone calls back).

If it is working and a cocktail unit I don't think $150 is out of line at all for a Pong Clone. Although they did make thousands of them, finding them in great working order is rare. Almost every one I have looked at has been dead or so close to dead that it wouldn't have been worth it.
