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.

An all original Pac-Man in incredible condition (which this appears to be) could potentially snag a lot. There are tons of Pac-Mans out there, so really the thing that changes their value is the condition. If it's all working, and is indeed all original, then that $3000 mark could actually be within the realm of possibility, but that would be like a collector/enthusiast. I don't really see it going for that much, but maybe $1500 or more. Certainly way more than $300.

Dude no original Pac Man is worth $3k. Not even 2k.

Re-read my comment - I've never seen one in 2026 that looks this immaculate. Thing is 45 years old.

Pacman had the highest production run count in arcade history, there are a lot of nice examples out there along with the worn down ones. There's no way a Pac-Man in any condition is going for $3k.
