atarigamin #1 Posted March 15, 2004 to get a coin opp for about $100? in working condition? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cootster #2 Posted March 15, 2004 Try the front of your local thrift. I bet it has a machine, it's probably not pretty, but I'll bet it's for sale and still plays. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tyranthraxus #3 Posted March 16, 2004 Yeah, but it only happens to OTHER PEOPLE but one day you might be that person. It depends a lot on where you live. I think if you live in a smaller city, you don't have as much competition and you might find a deal. If you see a dusty machine in a local store, ask if its for sale. A store owner might jump at $100 for a bulky machine that might earn $10 a month. Of course you are looking at an older machine, not in the best of shape and might have monitor burn or other problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cassidy Nolen #4 Posted March 16, 2004 They are out there....Why when I have them do I never seem to sell them? Most of the time I can sell a restored Pac Man easier than I can sell a cheapo fighter.. Cassidy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flack #6 Posted March 17, 2004 The first auction I went to I picked up a working Shinobi (with no sound) for $25 and a Championship Street Fighter II for $35. Most of my games have run me between $150-$200, but I buy a lot nicer of a game than I used to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanBoris #7 Posted March 17, 2004 I have also seen working machines at auctions go for under $100, although they usually won't be the best known titles. You won't see a working Pac-Man or Galaga go for that price. Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
