I wonder what the ballpark resale price is for it, the author mentioned it could sell for big bucks, but it'd be interesting to see how much.

Discs of Tron cabinet have changed hands for $10K+ in recent months. This one appears to be in fabulous condition too.

At $2k it would sell today. The condition looks great could easily go for more then double that to the right buyer (Environmentals are prized but obviously limit who has room for them).

  $2k would be a bidding war. This is worth way more than that! I definitely know some collectors that would part with $50k to have this.

    I think the price is silly but https://www.ebay.com/itm/275969869915 https://www.ebay.com/itm/275969869915

      This is a crazy rare version of an already rare arcade cabinet. I've seen exactly one of these in my entire life. The price may not be that silly if it is in good condition.

        As someone who just recently spent a wistful afternoon looking at listings on Pinside, this price barely even seems crazy. It's a bit different since pinball tables have all the mechanical bits and bobs, but still. Owning a Medieval Madness table has become one of my "boy, if I ever won the lottery" fantasies, and will likely remain that way.

        There are pinball distributors that will do short to medium term rentals, a few hundred dollars for a couple months. Medieval Madness is probably in short supply for that, but there are quite a few other options for newer games, often ones a few years old that just came off a public location. Renting could be a way to go if you really want it but can't swing ownership.

        You know, that's actually an interesting idea. Probably still the kind of expense that I couldn't currently justify, but it's also sort of nice to think that I could "subscribe" and have some rotating pin in my basement if I wanted to without having to take out a car-sized loan.

      And that’s for one needing some TLC. The top of the cabinet is coming apart. The speakers are missing. The floorboard is missing. The display has ghosting. The colors are fresh and crisp but it’s hardly “slightly used” as the one in the OP is. Still. I’m just lost for words he got this off the street.
