Title: Ice Cold Beer Price Check
Post by: eightballpaul on July 10, 2014, 05:55:08 pm
Wanted to see price for modern Ice Cold Beer like the following. Found one for $500 but don't know if it holds up in price compared to the original.

I have seen those a couple of times here and there. IMO - not as desirable as the original. However, it's newer, more modern, and hopefully will last a lot longer. I watched a video of one awhile ago, I think the music is weird. Dunno, Google it.

i don't know anyone that has one and really haven't seen them for sale but $500 seems ok for a newish game like that.

I watched the video and talked to my brother about it. We have been interested in the Taito version ever since we saw yours. We are probably going to go take a look at it today and decide whether or not we should go ahead and pick it up. Arcades here just aren't as plentiful as other areas so the chances of a Taito version coming up are probably slim to none. Thanks for the quick reply!

$500 doesnt seem too far off. I would expect this to be in the $300 range for being an ICE product. Original taitos have been creeping upwards lately with $700+ being common for one. This will be one of those situations where you have to decide is it the cab you want or the game you want. This will not hold its value like the taito, if anything it will lose out until people give up trying to get the taito one.
