Title: Wanted - Data East Golden Eye
Post by: swinks on January 07, 2014, 08:42:19 PM
I would like to get a Data East Golden Eye, so if you have one or know of one owned by someone outside of ebay let me know as really want one. and the playfield needs to be really good especially in between the flippers but still let me know.

Thanks

Jady

There's a custom 007 on EBay with a starting bid of $6250.

thanks found it,

looks good but believe very over priced and the custom cab art doesn't blend around from the sides to the front

way past my possible budget

I was blown away by the time and effort that went into that machine. Is it a popular enough game to command that high price though? Mightn't find a quick buyer, but there could be that one James Bond fan lurking out there that is after a centrepiece for their bar or cinema room. Gave me an idea if I found an old beat up game that was deserving of custom decals. Could be a cool project I reckon.

Guy must've been high as a kite when dreaming up that price. Almost worth referring to the authorities.

Capital has one for around the $4.6k and been there for a while.

Agree with you that alot of effort went into it and it has captured Bond in a modern way using photoshop but it now it is non original and unless a die hard bond fan buys it, it isn't worth that much - fine if you do it for the challenge and fun but doubt it will return the investment. I hope he gets it but doubt it.

Yeah, I tried not to be too negative about it, but questioning the worth....as well as the Judge Dredd with admitted cabinet fade for $6800. I was thinking of messaging the seller asking if they made a mistake with pricing. A secondhand Judge Dredd is now worth more than what I paid for a new in box AC/DC Pro???

Golden Eye is worth far less than 3 grand tops for a real nice one. IMO.

I have many Segas n played everyone, but Golden Eye was not a machine I would/wanted to add to my collection.
Very basic n not much on offer playwise IMO.
They usually don't sell quickly. I know Oscar had 2 machines apx 12 months ago.....
