Title: Zaxxon...
Post by: ArcadeJunkie2099 on August 27, 2013, 07:53:24 am
Depending on who I talk to about this game, it's either desirable or the scourge of the Earth. I'm contemplating buying a pair of them (should be able to combine the two and make a single really nice working one) for $225. I think the price might be a bit high, since I'd have to make two trips to get them both, etc etc.  Any thoughts?

BTW, this purchase would be for a complete restore/resell project, I have no interest in owning this game.

I passed on a MINT Zaxxon for around $50 or so. I actually like the game but would be worried it has little replay value and most people can't survive in the game for more than 10 seconds. :)

$225 for two of them is certainly not a bad deal if they are complete. I bet the game is worth somewhere around $200 - $300 as it's not that desirable.

That's what I figured. And seeing as I'd probably spend $40 transporting each one in fuel, it's not worth it.  Got an original Glaxian for $75 today, no PCB, and in rough shape...  But, I'm stoked to get to work on that bad mama.
