Arcade 1Up: Anybody else creating a home arcade?

[1_Flames_Fan]

I hadn't commented yet as I was consumed by jealousy, looks amazing Matt!

[SuperMatt18]

Thanks everyone!

[Flames_Gimp]

any deals out there?

They need to come out with Gauntlet, Shinobi and bubble bobble cabinets

What should a used arcade 1up go for? I’m think $200-$300 depending on what kind of shape it’s in?

I would just go by the facebook marketplace and kijiji prices. It does depend on which one it is.

That's about right...people try and sell them for more than recent sale prices though

As cool as they are they are people buy them and never use them after the first few days....make them an offer

If it’s a more rare one or more specialized one then like $400-$500 is probably still the ask (Buck Hunter, Golden tee, MVC, Star Wars, etc)

For the more common ones (Street fighter, pac man, mortal Kombat) then I wouldn’t go over $300 used.

Well, I joined the arcade 1 up crew. TMNT was on for $599 at game stop, so I decided it was mine. I suspect it may go cheaper closer/after Christmas, but I have three weeks off, so I’d rather have it in my hands earlier. I don’t have time to get it up until next week, so the wait is going to be tough!

Golden Tee and Big Buck were available for $450 new this past Monday. Personally I would wait these things are always on sale.

That was a bit of a unique sale since I think it was London Drugs and technically it said open box.

But yeah with Arcade1up it’s always best to wait for sure.

Don’t think I’ve paid MSRP for any of mine, usually at least $150 off on normal sales

[bagofpucks]

Well, got the TMNT all set up annnnnd it appears it may be DOA. Everything is set up correctly, but it will not turn on.

Yeah.... I'm a bit jealous too.

I'm going to need a bigger house... and significantly more money!

Alright, I’m officially part of team arcade 1up after my first arcade was DOA. Second unit came in a way more bashed up box, but everything inside is in working order. I’m really impressed by the quality of the cabinet and firing up the OG TMNT gave me goose bumps. My kids are going to freak out tomorrow!

Yeah, in my experience the Arcade1up quality is pretty good.

[bagofpucks]

Yah, I think I was just unlucky with the first unit. The store manager said I was the first one out of about 40 cabinets he had sold through his store that was DOA.

On that note, huge shout out to Game Stop in Chinook. I have no idea what happened, but they had it online for $540 for about 12 hours and I was lucky enough to see it and buy it. The store manager was awesome about getting me a new unit, despite there only being one in Alberta. He actually called me at 8:45 PM on Saturday as they got a super late shipment and it was on the truck a few days earlier than he anticipated.
