I paid $175 for my Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 cabinet. I wonder if prices will ever dip that low again, or if this is just the way things will be from now on.

I should make a list of games that I ultimately want and who gets out so I can move games & money around when something like that gets listed. I'm definitely leaning towards "games I'd actually play" and that post by Pinback made very clear what is a "play game" and what is a museum piece.
Oh. I did get this one, for a lot less.

From Wikipedia:
The Sega Mega Drive version of the game included the full arcade game, and an additional original mode, which allowed players to recruit sponsors and earn money to buy enhanced components for their bike.[4] The cover for this version has a bike and rider in the same colors as Shinichi Itoh, who competed in the All-Japan 500 cc Championship on a Rothmans Honda NSR500.
My local Facebook Marketplace is filled with 500cc-650xx sport bikes for $2k-$3k.

I know I'm out of touch but no way I'm buying a motorcycle arcade game for the price of three motorcycles.

Good point. I feel you could buy a real motorcycle and attach a MiSTer for far less.

Pac-Man, monitor needs a recapping, for $500.

https://denver.craigslist.org/vgm/d/lit ... 26910.html

I kind of want to have a Pac-Man machine and not a Ms. Pac-Man one, but not enough to list and sell my Ms. Pac-Man machine.

Gorf in Brighton, asking price is $1250 - adding this here because I think maybe the prices for arcade games out here are lowering a bit. I am curious if this gets re-listed or if the price drops.

Punch-Out! by Nintendo. Everyone loves it.

https://denver.craigslist.org/vgm/d/arv ... 15118.html

I saved it on Wayback Machine but it's being slow. Asking price: $4600
This is a full size Punch Out!! arcade machine from Nintendo in 1984. It is the original dual screen version, with a twist - I have also installed a Super Punch Out!! board set with a switcher so both original games can be played on this machine without swapping boards. Just hold down left jab and knockout button for 2 seconds to switch back and forth.
I have restored this machine to near new condition - both monitor chassis have been rebuilt and upgraded, both board sets are installed in designed RF cages with faceplates, the control panel and controls have been rebuilt to original Super Punch Out layout. The side art shows both flavors of this great pair of games. There is a custom sticker just above the controls that describes how to play both games, how to switch and gives brief descriptions of your opponents in the graphic style of the game. It plays beautifully. It has a switching power supply for the boards and game switcher, but I have left in the newly rebuilt PP-1000A if a conversion back is wanted. I also made a new back door to replace original and made it to the original door specs. Everything has been restored. The pictures do not do justice to the screens - they are not blue - see the picture of just the lower screen for colors that are closer to actual (for some reason my phone camera did not get accurate captures of the screens). This is a beautiful specimen. Have 2 great arcade machines in the space of 1!!!!! Comes with manual and adjustment schematic inside back door, and hand locks (no keys). Currently set on free play, but I could install keyed locks and convert to taking quarters. This cab is available for show and test played. Email, or text 303, three too 4, four 4 nine 4. Cash or Venmo.
I make no judgements about the price. I simply record history.

My judgement:

4600 for a fully restored Star Wars cockpit style cabinet? Maybe

4600 for Super Punch Out, a Punch Out board and a switcher? HELL TO THE NO
