It sure seems the price of games has gotten weird lately. Some good solid classics are down, others are still high. No real rhyme or reason. Post '86 games are on the rise big time. Star Wars seems to be hanging pretty steady at 6 to $800, depending. The pics look OK, but I'd get close up (nothing else in the pic, top-middle-and bottom sides-marquee-screen-cp-kickplate-back of monitor-bottom inside), full rez before I sent any money. The devil is in the details, but if the monitor has been rebuilt (new flyback for an Amp, LV2000 for a WG, capkit for both), and the condition rates an 8 or better, $700 to a loading dock in SLC sounds like a good deal over all. Look for bad cracking on the bottom of the marquee and CPO, beat up yoke sticker (repro available), and ask if all 4 yoke buttons work. Might as well know as much as possible. Condition is King, everything else can be fixed. Since everything appears to be working, you are good on that front. And the last time I shipped a game (3 years ago) , it was through forward air with a place called Stone Path Logistics palletizing, wrapping and taking it to the terminal. Cost about $175, and that was to Northern Cal for an Asteroids. Shipping has to be more now. Doesn't change the final cost, but the seller for sure isn't asking high book. -- Sean McLachlan Jeff Rivera wrote:
Ok, so I've been trying to hunt down a Star Wars and I was just checking to see if you guys felt that this was fair. The guy is willing to sell it to me that will put the final price (shipping included) at just around $700. The game is working well, has recently had the board serviced, and the monitor is looking good. Here are a few pics:

Any opinions?
Also, I'm looking for a Spy Hunter. Just a heads up on that one...
