Sounds about right - usually Strangeways has a good handle on the market and he is restoring one at the moment so I am surprised he hasn't chipped in yet!
Thanks Andrew. ST TNG is a hard one - Most machines I've seen or worked on have had issues. When buying this game, you have to play the machine to ascertain that the game works properly. It is a VERY well designed game, and is more complicated than most games of this era. I've seen very poor examples sold for $2800. That's the cheapest I've seen. Then you have the typical dealer example which hovers around the $5000 mark, with only limited work done to them.
A restored ST TNG would fetch $4000 - $5000 depending on the level of the work done and if there are mods or not (these can be expensive). I can't see a perfectly restored game (ramps, plastics etc etc) going for more than $5000, but I've seen absolute dogs sold for $4500.
With this title, there are always an abundance of this title available, you just have to sort through the quality and think about mods etc that you want. I strongly suggest a buyer plays the game, as it can be played with important features not working properly.
Nino is right to buy one fully restored like ninos or to buy off of marc-c it will cost you big money and from what i understand of the machine having the cannons fully rebuilt and the game working a 100% is well worth paying over the odds for,but at the end of the day no matter how good the game is if you ever want to re-sell it privatley the most you will get for it for a quick sale is $3500 if you ask anymore than that it would probably sit there on ebay or wherever for 6months and never sell.
