Guys, don't you remember? OP is REALLY conscious about his taxes and how much money he makes, which he has put in CLEAR TERMS in previous threads, so he's obviously just padding his sale price so he can recoup his losses with his accurately filled out 1099 for every game he sells. The government is screwing him over so he's just trying to do his fair share to support the "welfare babies" as he calls 'em.

Quoted from Blackbeard:

Why don’t you make an informed comment about what you think I should list for given the base price of these plus all the extra crap instead being your normal condescending self?

Quoted from ManyQuarters:

I'll guess $US5,000 to $7,000 for a restored Bad Cats depending on condition. Go for $6,000+"

You seem to be really hung up on people only having "informed opinions" so here's a few:
Your game is far from QC but you're getting your prices based on people who have QC examples. If we're talking "fully restored" your decal job leaves a lot to be desired in the corners and edges and the condition of the mylar vs no mylar sections is too dramatic to price yours in the "qc" or even "fully restored" realm. I was genuinely shocked to see that for your price you didn't install a new playfield, and at the very least, didn't tie down the battery pack (you have it just hanging there willy nilly???). The person who gave you that price range you're putting yours in has a MUCH nice example and hadn't seen pictures of yours.

I'm gonna guess that this will go for $4,500.

Quoted from Blackbeard:

I think I did a damn good job on the decals.

The corners seem to already be lifting and I see no reason you wouldn't color match your base coat before you threw on the decals. Just how it looks in the photos. If the photos are the issue, give some high schooler $50 to take some "pro" photos and repost them in your ad.

All I'm saying is you're a hobbyist doing this. As good as it is, I wouldn't ever price yourself alongside the work and prices of people who do it professionally.

Quoted from Blackbeard:

And it’s obo and “make an offer” to reflect that fact.

Okay. Will you accept $3,750 or trade for a nice GTB Atlantis plus $1k cash?

#126 2 years ago

I publicly redact my statement about the corners lifting. They just look like that from the image and the black peeking out behind them. I apologize for introducing false speculation into this thread.

Quoted from Blackbeard:

You cut the decals back a bit to PREVENT the corners getting snagged.

And you also match your cabinet base coat to the original color of the screened cabinet.

Agreed. I honestly wouldn't be surprised that if this were listed as 6.5K firm on whatever local craigslist it would go to someone who doesn't want to be in the hobby but just loves cats and loves arcade games without batting an eye.
