How much is this worth?? (air hockey)

[ironforge]

Ok.. my local pool hall has two air hockey tables.. they have a dynamo blue top and a dynamo brown top..

this place is hardly ever busy.. at least on the air hockey tables.. the pool tables get some use.. but even those are never full..

anyhow.. we asked if they wanted to sell one of their air hockey tables.. so we could slap it in our garage.. he said he would ask if they want to sell one...

I have a good feeling that they will be willing to let one of them go.. since they don't get a lot of use..

I mentioned above they had a blue and brown top.. the blue top has more wear. but it also gets more plays.. the brown top is not as well lit.. (no overhead light) but it's in excellent shape.. no visable wear on the surface.. very smooth.. i have never seen anyone play on it.. (it doesn't have the overhead score either, and the blue top does)

ANyhow let me cut to the chase.. i like to gab sorry

How much do you think a used dynamo brown top would go for? What is a fair price to offer?

Also how about a used blue top in fair condition? (has some wear next to the goals, and some of the holes by the goals are plugged, other than that decent condition)

no air hockey fans?

Just want to make sure I get a fair price...

well i dunno how good it is, but gart sports has some for $500.. so maybe around $200-$250
i would get the blue one i think

there is a link to a dynamo brown top.. but picture isn't too hot
(their prices are high though.. even on the new ones)

the heft of a commercial air hockey table is substantial.. check out these specs on the dynamo photon

Height: 31 inches (71 inches with overhead)
Width 51 1/2 inches (56 inches with overhead)
Length 99 1/2 inches
Weight 540 lbs.

ooo ok, well that home arcades site says "Used $1495.00"
so maybe something along that? maybe a little less since it is more worn,, maybe like $1200

[ironforge]

yeah.. I think their prices are a little high though.. i've seen new ones for not much more..

it mostly depends on how much the vendor is worth letting it go for.. he may take a loss if it doesn't make much money for him there... that and they are probably a pain to relocate..

[JacobM5727]

yeah, well hopefully it will work out
air hockey is awesome
