Quick question for the experts out there. I have been looking to buy an Ice Cold Beer for a while and have finally found one at an arcade that the owner is interested in selling but he wants $3,500 for it. The machine is in good shape and works well but I know it is not worth that much but they are so hard to find that it caught my interest.
What do you all think? Should I pull the trigger and just do it knowing it is over priced or keep waiting until one pops up for a lot cheaper?
Quoted from Coz:They don’t come up for sale very often. If you really want one and it’s in good condition go for it. The last few I saw sell were in the $2500- $3500 range. It’s become a game a lot of collectors jump on quick, so I wouldn’t wait too long to make an offer
Thanks Coz, that is how I feel. I was saving up to get a Monster Bash for the wife but it is hard to pass the first chance I have to buy Ice Cold Beer since I started looking 4 or 5 months ago. I think if I can get them to come down to $3000, im going to do it.
Quoted from Thrillhouse:$3k is alot for that game. It's fun for a while and your guest's will really like it but soon enough it will go the same route as a foosball table and never get turned on or played. I have one and ended up lending it to a friend since i needed the space and no one was playing it any more. Id say hold off and wait for another to come around at a better price.
Would you be interested in selling yours then if you do not play it?
Good advice. When I talked to they guy, he said he doesnt want to sell it till April 2018 or so as it is still in his arcade and being used. Hopefully something cheaper will pop up on my daily CL checks
Quoted from Thrillhouse:Wish you would have caught me 2 weeks ago. I just put it on route at a friends brewery and it is killing it. It's out earning my pins 3-1 right now.
No worries, if you ever decide to get rid of it, keep me in mind.
Quoted from grantopia:That seems really high, at least my my area. I had one offered to me at $1400 last year and one came up on the Ohio FB group around 2K not too long ago. I actually would love one of these but as some others have said just can't see spending that much on that type of game. I can get alot of pin for that money. That said, if I had extra cash laying around I'd have jumped at the $1400.
Agree that it is a lot for it. I have three machines on my wish list to get next (two for the wife and one for me). First one is Monster Bash and that will be a gift for the wife, and #2 is Chexx Bubble Hockey (also for the wife as she loves that game for some reason) and the last is Ice Cold Beer and that is for me. Everyone is right that I could get an awesome pinball machine for that price but the next pinball to be in the room will be Monster Bash
Quoted from Magickeith:I found mine for $700 in good, not great shape. It needed to be cleaned up big time and is now with an arcade fix guy getting tuned up a bit. I'll have $850 into it when I'm finished if I don't put a new glass in it. The glass isn't horrible but not great either.

Damn, good find and not a bad price at all. Looks good to me. Still hoping i could find it somewhere for cheap but will have to keep looking
Awesome find! I am still looking to get one, have seen a couple but people are asking 3k+ and all of them need a little bit of electrical work. I am hoping I will find a good one for under 2k that works well. Will wait and see and keep looking.
Quoted from Whysnow:I have a pretty nice ICE ICB version (the one with 2 extra holes; 12 holes total) that I have considered selling or trading recently.
I know the ICE one is more rare, but no idea on current market on these. Thoughts?
Having any pictures you could share? What would you be selling it at or what would you be interested in trading?
Quoted from Skyemont:I would not take less than 2500 for mine.
Any pics of yours? Fully working and in good condition?
