Tell him it's worth the less than a thousand and you can basically sell it for $2500. That's the part they don't show you, the conversation between the pawn shop and the "expert"
Antonios Liparota I totally understand that. Here’s my reason. I grew up on that game in the arcades. I thought $800 for an excellent condition original arcade style? I’m interested. I went to EBay & they had zero original ones & then remakes & countertops. The stand up arcade remakes were 2K. So where are you getting this machine for 800?I thought so
"I just need to get something that makes more sense in my room of horror." So a Giant monkey throwing barrels down to kill a Italian Plumber isn't terrifying to you?
I had a friend that was an arcade tech in the 80's. There was a Mr.M's (like a 7-11) on New York street in Arlington TX. One day after they purchased a Donkey Kong the owner called my friend mad that his brand new machine was broken after only one day. Friend gets there to take a look, opens the coin door and quarters spilled out all over the floor. Coin box was packed and the whole bottom of the machine was covered in quarters. This machine raked in the $$ back in the day. PS I agree with other posters, this game is worth way more then 600. Probably more like 1500-1700.
Yeah u know the "experts" that they call in are gonna tell the current owner that its not worth as much just so the pawn crew can buy it at a lower price 👌
The implication is that they made lots of Donkey Kong cabinets and its not worth that much. Total con. Try finding a working DK unit from the 80’s with all its original parts.
More than a con .. they are just filling time for the TV show. That machine in that condition might be worth 5000. It's nicer than the one I used to drop quarters in.
Joystick and jump button are not original though. You are not supposed to have ugly screws and washers showing up on the control panel to hold down the joystick.
Very few people know this but originally it was a Donkey that was the main character. I remember this, because I remember going to the Bowling alley and watching these guys playing this game where a Donkey was jumping over these barrels and it wasn't even in color. My brother remembers this also. When we went back a few weeks later, the game was different and it now had a guy jumping over barrels. The only thing I can conclude all these years later, that the original game with the Donkey might have been just a test prototype because the cabinet was rather plain looking with really nothing on it, but the words Donkey Kong.
Are they joking? You can almost not get those new bootleg cabinets with a raspberry pi for that money.. this is the real deal. Donkey Kong is one of the most wanted ones and in this condition. This would easily sell for 3k or even more to a collector.
I’d say $2500 would be an absolute steal for a collector. It’s all original, and was the game that started it all for Nintendo. Who are they trying to kid.
I've sold video games of all generations for many years and an original DK cabinet in this condition is worth more then $600-$800. That was a terribly low ball assessment.
Miranda. My brother is dating a girl named Miranda from South Africa. These things sell and trade all the. And in my circle of arcade and pin pinball enthusiast. many think these old arcade machines are worth far more greater than what they actually are. They called in a true expert. I own to donkey Kong original machines, because I'm a guy that doesn't rip people off, I would never sell mine for more than a thousand.
This is a first... 2500? The dude has no idea how classic and valuable this game is and These guy tell him it's too much. This guy should bring to to a video game convention, he'd get a lot for it.
Game is worth $1000-$1200.. joystick and buttons are not original replacement will cost around $100.. cabinet is in great shape and sideart is ok.. $400 is way too low
"I don't know if Donkey Kong is the arcade game people are looking to get"
LMAO what?! Man these writers know absolutely nothing
Ikr
This is Gamestop trade in value in a nutshell.
Not an original joystick.
This is why you directly sell to people!
"Let me get a buddy of mine down here to help me rip you off"
That's exactly what they do.
Mark Reap nope you’ve seen episodes where they end us appraising for a whole lot more ?
@@BiggCracc only when they haven't got a clue what it's worth.
2:52 I thought that was a real human behind them.
Chi chan lol
Was is the key word.....
Yeah me too
Babe, hi
Me too. Kinda looked spooky like you
That arcade game is worth 10 times then what they're offering.
Tell him it's worth the less than a thousand and you can basically sell it for $2500. That's the part they don't show you, the conversation between the pawn shop and the "expert"
It is only worth what people are willing pay.
There’s a whole bunch of people selling the exact same one on eBay for 2k
Jason Michael I’d easily buy that for $2500. Most full size cabinets start at $4k.
@@aaronburrell3729 If I had the money I would paid $3,000-4,000 for it without a second thought.

Haha Ya! LoL
Donkey kong and mr. brown got along famously
Rick: I’ll give you $3 and a half eaten chipotle burrito. It’s the best I can do, I’m taking a lot of risk.

Perfect lmao
Cory “Let me call a buddy of mine to see if this game is legit”
“Hello Kong”
That expert is full of it. It’s an easy 2k in that condition just check EBay. Low ball appraisal
What people ask on eBay and what sells on eBay are different things my man.

Will Dearborn yeah but you can’t always believe the price on a product on eBay sometimes the seller is wrong
You go check f****** eBay. Apparently don't know what you're talking about
Will Dearborn Nerd
Donkey kong is the game everyone wants to get.
Chillers or splatterhouse would fit in perfectly in that room
The blonde hair mannequin head behind Cory was freaking me out 😆
4:13 totally thought that was a real person sleeping at first 🤣🤣
I have a mansion
Rick:Best I can do is 20 bucks
You're forgetting "I'm taking all the risk." "I have no idea what the market is like."
Trexo YT everybody: the weather is real nice outside
Rick: I’ll give you $200
That would easily bring $2500 on eBay.
Original board, original paint, original condition. Everything is original. I’ll give you $20
"I just need to get something that makes more sense in my room of horror."
So a Giant monkey throwing barrels down to kill a Italian Plumber isn't terrifying to you?
He was a carpenter in this, but I get it. Lol
Seller: I want to sell King Tut's tomb
Rick: Best I can do is half an eaten ring pop and a used tissue
🤣🤣🤣
He wasnt even there
Im taking a huge risk here
No way 400$. That thing is og and mint!
I agree, worth way more then 400. But its not mint, side art is rough. Still easily worth 1500.
@@craigmanning2439 I'd purchase that in a heartbeat!

That price shocked me. There's no way that's not worth at least 1000.
Rick: "Let me call in my buddy, he's an expert at scamming people"
“They made a lot of these there not rare” gtfoh
They made a lot but doesn't mean the boat load they made are still around. It's a game everyone wants after the king of kong was made.

Video without rick:
Everyone in the comments: rick: ill give you 5 bucks
Jared Ameer-Beg everybody: this is a real nice pawn shop!
Rick: hold my beer
I would get rid of everything else in that room and keep the arcade.
40 anniversary of donkey kong
Joystick and jump button are not original though. You are not supposed to have ugly screws and washers showing up on the control panel to hold down the joystick.
And the side art is peeling badly!!! Plus the coin box is not original. I know... I own one of these cabs... Hardly stellar IMHO!!!
Arcade Moi Ça How can you tell the JUMP button isn't original? Is it because it's so thin?
excellent content
That's not an original joystick. That's a pacman joystick.
Thank you! That man who thought it was original was an idiot!
"...[it's got] an original joystick...]" zooms into unoriginal aftermarket joystick

i loved the guns n roses pinball machine as a kid. things worth $4k+ now thats rare!
Even without rick ripping someone off people will still roast him for being cheap 😂
Dude I would buy that game in a heart beat. That exact donkey Kong was my first game I ever played
“Do me a favor and go call Nick”, Chum leaves the room because he doesn’t have a cell phone.😂😂😂😂
Private call........
That room I think looks pretty cool🕷️
We need a name for the man that jumps. Jumpman? Perfect!
It's cool seeing the kid from Jerry Macguire all grown up
🤣🤣
Is that the head of Heather Locklear behind Corey?
3:06 when the "expert" said its an original the guy was like um yeah i know i bought it directly from the manufacture? 😂
3:35 corey's handshake
Whats wrong with the handshake?
I'm pretty confident that Mr. Brown and this cabinet would go along famously.
Beautiful retro cabinet...
This video was already uploaded. It's like watching a rerun.
This arcade was $ 2500 back in the 80s today value. $1200 😧
Mr. Brown and some dorky guy overvalued their video game famously.
Donkey Kong totally fits that room... the 70's and 80's were pretty scary.
2022 to the 80s. "Hold my beer"...
Good for the guy keeping it. That thing is probably worth 20 times what they are offering.
A couple carts of groceries costs more!
The fact that it’s worth only $500 more than a arcade 1up is an insult. I’m sure it’s worth more than that.
I have the moon
Rick: best I can do is hand shake or chumle
Donkey Kong is one of the major ones ppl want.
Ebay has it valued at AT LEAST 2500.
This short appraisal guy really low balls items big time.
1:38 very high 🚬🚬
An _empty_ cabinet sells for more than his offer.
Without Chum there is no pawn stars - I wouldn't be calling him your sidekick..
Looks like the expert wanted a cut of the money offering the man 400 and it’s probably worth at lest a few gs
I would easily pay 2500 for that!
then do it :DDDD pay 2500 instead of 700 :DDDD
That’s really weird because the 6 different places I checks said they go for 2,000-3,500 depending on condition
If rick was there he would say he needs to frame it
I literally thought it was a woman standing behind corey 00:46
Dude probably paid $1000 for it. He heard its worth less what he paid, realized he's stuck with it
Maybe the greatest game ever...

That’s funny because he said the joystick was original and it clearly is not an original joystick.

How you gonna call an expert at the guys house? lol
Using a cell phone I imagine...
Using two cups and a string I imagine
Just keep it that's history
After the movie King of Kong this arcade is highly sought after, 400 is rip off.
I feel like these are reuploads
right
The game had all Original parts everything was legit why did they offer such a low low price on a legendary game
Cause he not buying for him self its for resale 🤦♂️
That mask at the back is so freaking real...🤦♂️
That’s not how much that’s worth. The “expert” was low balling him
1:33 wtf are those faces

As a professional appraiser he should have told him over the phone 600max. Not rare. My fee to come out is 200$.so just over 400 lol
love it
Thought I was watching Pawn Stars not in Gamestop
Game is worth $1000-$1200.. joystick and buttons are not original replacement will cost around $100.. cabinet is in great shape and sideart is ok.. $400 is way too low
It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it...
Does anyone else wonder if these "buddies" that help out are tag teaming the seller by some skeezy estimates when they can get away with it?
So they have that in Texas, what would it cost if someone over seas bought it?
You can sell it to me for 2k, anytime...
There's a couple on ebay for 1-2k, it's all yours.
