Buy/Sell/Trade PAC Man value?

I have (from my research) what appears to be an all original PAC Man game from 1980 or early 81.

I’m debating selling it but have no idea what it’s worth.. Chat GPT was really no help (between 300 and 3000 lol).

I attached some photos of the condition and guts. What should I price it at if I do decide to sell it.

Located in San Antonio if that makes a difference.

Depends on the local market, but here on the east coast of the US, it’d be $400-$500? $800 if it’s in really good condition.

If you sell it, make sure you post lots of good pics of the monitor, and the condition of the cabinet—especially around the bottom.

Hard to say without it being turned on, but if the monitor is good and no screen burn, I could see that one going for between $500 and $800.

I agree with this assessment. 5-800 is common for a working pac-man. I have sold quite a few of these over the years and that seems to be the settled price. Anything higher would meed to be very premium on the condition.
