Grab it now! well worth it, a classic you never see for sale. I wouldn't sell mine for that cheap for sure.
WTB: Outrun cabaret, Wizard Of Wor cabaret, Asteroids cabaret, & many other cabarets. Pm me what you have for sale.

Cool, it's supposed to work all the way.  I'll go check it out tomorrow and grab it if it's as nice as it appears in the pic.

Honestly I think just about any classic in working order is worth $250 these days.  Finding someone to pay more than that isn't always a given, but in all my travels I've never been offered a working Rally X and it's no doubt a title that has seen heavy multicading over the last decade.  Go get that thing today

Nope, it's garbage and you don't want to mess with it.

Give me the guy's phone number and I'll tell him what a scam artist he is......    :) :) :)

Fellows I went and looked at this and it's very solid and clean but not as nice as the pic makes it look. The glass bezel is really "webby" with a lot of separation, no sound and a discolored blotchy monitor. Lots of minor bumps and scuffs. Decent CP. But worst of all the guy has been looking at Ebay (There's one selling for $ 1000.00!! he says) and since he's "adjusted" the monitor and improved the pic it's $395.00, or a close offer, and he says if he figures out how to fix the sound before someone buys it he's going to raise the price some more. Awesome.
So you could prob get it for 350 or so, maybe less. I'm out, and due to a recent gluttonous buying episode I can't really pick it up,or store it, sorry. It's at  Nobody's Thrift Shop in Ft Walton Beach, search Rally X on Okaloosa Craigslist for the contact info and another pic. 8508305217 is the phone.
BTW  You'll also see the same game listed in another older  ad for $175.00, that was how the thrift shop got it. I missed it by a few hours at that price, oh well. Good luck if anybody goes for it.

eBay hurts us collectors. :) but it does have value when nobody local wants your stuff. kind of like pinside. :P

I would have said "unfix what you did, I don't want it fixed by you." then hand him $250, and he makes his $75.00 profit. ;)

thrift stores have their value, but arcade games are almost always top of the market priced for mid-level condition.

crap, I paid $90.00 for a panthera backglass from a thrift shop in the middle of nowhere, with some lifting. she was a hard negotiator...I tried to 50% her, and she stuck firm at 10 bucks off the $100.00 price tag. worst, she told me how much she paid for all 5 backglasses :o. I covered her costs and 3 months rent. :P
