For Sale Arcade Collection (and 1 pinball) for sale

[ThomasM]

Hi all! New here, so pls excuse the post if arcades aren't allowed. Although there is a Machine Bride of Pinbot listed here

I moved back to London about 2 years ago after being here about 10 years and then back to the USA where I grew up. Over the years I collected and restored about 18 games and a few pinballs and since I'm now living in London and therefore live in a tiny space (!) I have no room for games (although I have managed to cram in a Ms Pacman and Donkey Kong cocktail) I'm now looking to shift the remaining last remants of my collection - all collected and restored by me.

If you are interested, please get in touch. I'm looking for £16k for all, which I think is fair given the rarity and condition of these games.

These are all in excellent condition with new monitors, clean PCBs and overall as good as they come. Still on US mains (works fine on a stepdown) and all brought with me from San Francisco, CA during my move back to London. Currently stored in a temp-controlled storage unit in Banbury.

Please only serious inquiries.

• Ms Pacman
• Frogger
• Missile Command
• Centipede
• 1943
• Donkey Kong cocktail
• The Machine Bride of Pinbot Pinball
• Chase HQ project

Here are some of the photos I have handy - unfortunately no good pics of the Bride of Pinbot but I can get some next weekend...

I directed Thomas over here from the Arcade Forum. I'm a big advocator for Matt too having bought 3 arcades from him in the last year. But I think this is more of a proposition for a collector with deep pockets. Prices are retail realistically. I'm tempted to raise the funds myself, but I think it would be grounds for divorce lol

I would of thought selling separate would be better , finding one person to buy the lot may be a tall ask …. Glws

 

[Colywobbles]

Those are absolutely beautiful wow just wow.

Out of interest are arcade games worth £ 2 k each now ?

 

[Skippy]

I’ve seen these pics posted invidually for at least a year, maybe the prices are the the thick end of what the market wants to pay.

Depends how much you want them I guess. I've paid £2600 for MKII because I've never seen one for sale before and never likely to again. Obviously there'll be someone that says its worth £500

 

[russdx1]

We would of all laughed if someone told us a Stern Prem was gonna be 11.8k a year ago….

 

[Rob zombie]

Yeah, and that 11.8K isn't far off this entire collection. Pocket money for some people on here.

Would love missile command

I also have alot of other bits and bobs from all my collecting years - things like coin doors, monitor chassis and a load of very rare (and just fun) PCBs - which if someone picks up the entire collection, I'd be motivated to sell them on as well.

You are correct. I'm not motivated to sell. I've sold about 12 games already, all for higher-end prices as they have been mint condition and hard to come by. Might not be for everyone - I have also reduced the prices a fair bit. I also know what I have in them, in terms of refurbing things from the ground up....

 

[Calimori]

Only you and a buyer need to agree on price.

 

[sharps]

Or simply....if theres enough peeps on here interested...club together to buy all as he wants, perhaps?
