<<< Game valuation / Price discussions >>>
« on: June 25, 2015, 09:55:41 PM »
Hey,

How much is the value of a dedicated Dragon's Lair.
Running a laserdisc player model LD-V8000 and Merlin Board.

Nice cab, missing side art.

Thanks !

I've seen this on UKVac forum and thought it would be a GREAT idea to have 1 (ONE) separate thread for ALL price valuation questions, discussions about prices etc.

This keeps forum sections free from lots of threads about this for every single game....

Bruno if you agree, this could be a sticky :D

There's no huge 'market' about this game Europe, so hard to tell a price...
But is US, a such setup (Cinematronics one, nice cabinet, working with the merlin/LD-V8000 'enhancement') can easily go for $1500+
And as usual in our hobby, less if we are lucky, more if we are in a hurry to buy it!  ;)

If I don't buy it, I will let you know. There is also a converted Space Ace if you want.

dedpends. a dl that was coverted to a space would be ok if the cab is in good condition.
would be better to have a dedi though... but a converted would do.

I can't believe I put all this work in my post above and for what?
Not a single answer!!!
I guess this means I'm not one of the 10 DLF members who are only answering to each other.
If I don't get an answer by tonight, I will leave the forum. >:(
...plus I will ritually burn a classic cab in my garden.

I will only come back from time to time whenever I'll have a question about arcade stuff.
