I would like to establish a value for an video arcade game. It is 
"PACMANIA" from Atari Games, manufactured by Namco circa 1987. I have
wasted several hours already trying to find this information.

Hi there,

I have found Pacmania machines on sale from $250 to $1795. It has sold
at auction for $95-$600.

One has been offered on eBay and failed to attract a bid above its
starting price of $700.

The Google Groups messages are lower than the vendors, but this is
because they are hobbyists rather than businesses.

The impression I get is that selling it privately it would be worth
$300-$600 depending on condition.

If it has the original ´housing´, not a general one, expect to get
between $700 and $1500, depending on its state. A standard housing
with just the software you sell around $300.
