Title: Revenge From Mars price...?
Post by: TR8364 on October 31, 2013, 11:15:12 am
Just wondering...,

What would be considered a 'good' price for a Revenge From Mars pin in full working order?
I have found one near me for £2000 GBP (approx. $3212 USD)... Is that good or bad?

I don't know much about pins as I am new to arcade collecting, so some guidelines of what to look for also would be great.

Cheers!

i think if it is in excellent condition, the value is $4000-$6000 so that price seems to be "priced to sell" in today's market

i can't cover of all of what to look for, but generally you want to make sure the machine functions as it should mechanically and electronically, you want the art to appear in good shape, and the less wear and tear the better. collectors generally want all original parts, and if there have been repairs you want it to be repaired properly with quality/original parts by a qualified technician.

They typically go for around $2,500 these days around here. If you are patient, you can get one for closer to $2k. US$3,000 is a little high but that could be an ok deal in the UK. Not sure how many made it out there.
