There are some gems in there that are priced really nice but you have
to know what you are looking for and what they normally sell for.
The Asian market - especially Japan - is much different than the US
market - some - well, most - of the boards listed on that list are
considered real "yawners" over here but are in great demand overseas
and they are priced more for that market than ours.
The Japan market in particular is just crazy - I shop on a couple of
sites over there and scan the inventories almost daily and the prices
can get nuts. I saw a Missile Command board sell for well over $1000US
about a year ago. Marble Madness boards see $400+. Assault can see
$500+.
The Konami 80s Arcade Gallery at $350 is a nice price, IMO. I have
closer to $400 in mine but I also have the original manual, marquee,
and instruction sheet.
