I friend of mine, bought one for $16.
And it's pretty damn nice too. Also it's working 100% of course.

Now if I could just find one for that price ;Þ

I got an absolute mint MK1 dedicated a few auctions back (in Orlando)
for $350, and I thought I overpayed. You can buy MK1-3s all day long
for $300 give or take.

Just about every auction i've been to in the last 2 years had mk2's in
awesome shape for 300 give or take. at 1250 you're smoking something.

For what it's worth, I sold a pretty nice (but not minty) dedicated MKII on
eBay about a year ago for $860. I shipped it to Wisconsin, I believe it was,
at the buyer's expense.

Please, everyone point me to their dedicated MK or MK2 for sale in mint
condition for $300-400. I want one!

Seems they are usually going for $600 or more in "decent" condition...
at least, every time I look for one...

Your sales methods got me, I'll take it! Can I expect service like
that after the sale too?

Really man, lighten up. Auction prices aren't retail so you would
expect more selling it someplace else, but even a search of completed
auctions on e-bay shows no Mortal Kombats going for anywhere near that
price.

And this is definitely not the place for high prices on common games.
Something rare or unique, maybe, but not for something that shows up at
most every auction for significantly less.

Best of luck to you, and I'll be the first to apologize if you get that
price. You have every right to try and sell it here for what you want,
no problem with that, but we have the right to say your smoking crack.
Sorry.

Pretty much. Everyone knows there are two different pricing schemes.
The 'Collector' price, ie what you get at auctions and generally Usenet
pricing, etc. Prices for people in the know. Then there's retail. A
$200 game at collector level become $795 at Retail, etc. But Retail can
get you a cleaner game and sometimes gets you delivery and support
services.. so a good chunk of the price is in service.

I think anyone whose been to an Auction in the last 5 years knows
everyone is dumping out 25in games at fairly cheap prices. They made I
think, 1.2 billion MK*.* games, all in basically the same cabinet so
you see -a lot- of them. Normally speaking, a decent MK1-3 (not mint
but solid) will run in the $200-$300 range. A nice or minty one is in
the $300-$400 range. Maybe an exceptional one would go for $500
(maybe). The games are also extremely common. So I don't think anyone
in there right mind on here would say that $1200+ is a good deal for
such a game, even 'mint'. This guy is more than welcome to post it, but
if the deal blows someone is going to point it out. Hell, people point
out even decent deals because you know, its the usenet and everyone is
a dick.

Where are these $300 ones? I've been to 2 of the Winston Auctions in the
last year, and they either have no MKs or the ones there are trashed. There
certainly aren't any nice ones going on Ebay for that price.

So hear it is, if you have a nice dedicated MK1-4 that your looking to sell
on the east cost drop me an email.

I had a sweet Killer Instinct 2 (which, IMHO, is better than MK2 - but
very similar in price, I would say) that I couldn't get rid of for $700
Canadian. That's about $550 US. And it was pretty damn close to
perfect. I finally ended up trading it.

Anyone that really believes you paid this for these parts is only
fooling them selves. Just as you are fooling yourself that you have
this game that is worth $1250. If you paid $400 for a 25 inch monitor,
you either dont shop around or you have no clue about buying monitors.
They can be had for $225. Never seen a CPO for $80, more like $25. I
also highly doubt you had an empty cab you had to build ground up. You
have every right to aask what you want but your approach and attitude
leave a lot to be desired. You are wasting your time here thinking you
will get someone here to pay that kind of money. Like others here
said, we got our MK's for 3-400 and under. My MK was $75, MKII was
$215 and my UMKIII was $310. All in the past 7 months. And less than
1/2 of your one machine. All dedicated.

Good luck with the sale

It doesn't matter how much you have put into it for parts and labor.
If you had a $5000 car and put another $5000 into it for repairs, you
probably wouldn't have a $10,000 car. So, just because you dumped a
lot of cash into this game doesn't mean that is what it is worth. Go
sell crazy someplace else, we're all full here.

I found a mint MK2 control panel (sans buttons) with a near-perfect
overlay at a damn antique store for $5. I tried to hock it on here for
$50 and got no takers. It's not worth shipping for less than that, so
it sits in the bottom of my MK1 in case for whatever crazy reason I
need to swap it in. There's some much of the MK stuff floating around
its not really worth much, at all.

if this game has all new parts in it then it is no longer a dedciated

if these were to go up in value someday this one couldn't be counted as
a factory original unless you lied to the buyer.

All the MK's I see in that price range are conversions, 19" monitors,
etc. (even the one photo'd on Marc's page is a beat up converted cab -
only the $500 one was probably dedicated).

I want a dedicated original cabinet, non-faded, not water damaged, in
great condition. I know MK's are "a dime a dozen" but I have never
seen one for a low price. Always $500 or more and even then, usually
with a monitor only displaying green, faded sideart, etc.

If it were really important to me, then yes I could drive 3 hours to
the nearest auction and attend every one, and after a year I might find
a good MK. But what is the point in all that driving, expense, and
wasting a whole day at the auction. I'd rather just buy one of these
perfect condition MK's you guys have for sale for $300. :)

Maybe there wasn't a lot of MK action in WV, I'm not sure. Here in
Florida every auction is usually crawling with MKs. Normally 3-5
Dedicated at every auction, with MK2s making up the bulk of that. When
I purchased my MK1 for $350 it actually went quite a bit higher than
the MK2 cabs which were all in the $200-$300 range..

I guess price can vary somewhat by location, but I'd be amazed if you
couldn't get an MK for less than $500 anywhere in the continential US.
If there is a state where they go for $1200, i'll fill up a truck next
auction and take a week off work!

I think the difference is if you are looking for one, or if one is looking
for you. I think the $300 ones are usually a case of when someone sees one
at an auction and decides to pick it up because its cheap. If you are
actively looking for one, figure on paying around $500.

In the NJ area (which as near as I can tell has to be close to one of the
best collecting spots to live in).

http://www.basementarcade.com/arcade/auction/a73/Data.h...

from one of Marc's auction page on his web-site:

Mortal Kombat $90
Mortal Kombat 2 (not working) $100
Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate $150
Mortal Kombat 4 $500


MK's are a dime a dozen.. you see them all the time (not just because they
made a gazillion of them but also because the cabinets are built like
frigging tanks).

you're right on Chuk.

The last MK II cab I bought had been converted into a Street Fighter Alpha
3. The artwork and marquee were fully intact... the only change was the CP
which was drilled and had a capcom cpo on it. I bought it for $295 on
e-bay... got it home and discovered that the origional MK II board was still
inside. All it needed was a new CPO and some holes bondoed to make it a
true MK II again... I acutally converted it to a Blitz 99 in the end (I
have young kids so bloody killing games are not standard in my house) and
unloaded the boards... after unloading the boards I ended up spending about
$175 for the cabinet.

These have to be the most heavily converted cabinets there are... if you
look on e-bay you can pretty much find anything installed in one...

I'm sure he'll fly out to meet you, because that's what reasonable
adults do. They get into pissing contests on message boards then they
fly half way across the country in order to fight somebody that
disagrees with them.

Yes, definitely. I just got back from Wisconsin, had to kick somebody's
