Not only does that expert not know the value of an original DK arcade in that condition... he doesn’t even know how to pronounce Miyamoto’s last name
It lacks of explanations about " original " cabinets, like : what about the joystick and the plunger buttons... This is supposed to be black top with red blue blue buttons right ? I'm confused it's not mentioned
NO "collector" is looking for 600 games packed into one cabinet.
@RR Extra No its not I can [prob get one for 400 most where I am at
but most people buying a game cabinet are... most people don't have space for 600 arcade cabinets.

800$ for original Donkey Kong arcade? Can I buy one please?
@Satnav Simmo Those machines are completely different. An original Donkey Kong arcade has way more collector / geek value.
simpsons arcane was going for that much.
Satnav Simmo I could build one with 25,000 games for 200 dollars
For $800 I'll sell you mine, lmao. That's more than they are worth. Maybe $600. I have $150 in my original one.
@@juleswebb8081 Oh god, its the "Raspberry Pi can play 20000 games for free" guy. Cancer...
They do not come in better shape than that one. You cannot find them like that anymore. The value of it is more of a 1500 to 3000 dollars. It is perfect.
For real. These dude scammers
3:18 This is an abomination and it drastically lowers the value of the cabinet as well. The "expert" is more of an eggspert.
Corey: let me call an expert
Calls donkey Kong
He should've called a plumber.
Called a donkey not sure about donkey kong
@@jimsmith1277 Or a carpenter in this case
DK : 1 million bananas
Lol 600 to 800. You won’t find it anywhere for that. The professional
Is a scam artist just like the pawn shop
Actually that's the going rate for an unrestored Donkey Kong.
@@MattyMosArcade this doesnt need to be restored tho. Its perfect
Mine was $675
@@holdendickerson1320 Unrestored doesn't mean it needs to be restored.
Yeah they're selling just the original control panel for these games for $200. You know if they would've bought it they would've put a $2000 price tag on it in the pawn shop
They don't mention it in the episode, but the girl in this game is Pauline, and this was not her only appearance in the series. Most notably, she's a main character in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series (which started with Donkey Kong on the Gameboy, often called Donkey Kong '94), and she even appeared as a pretty major character in Super Mario Odyssey.
And Donkey Kong is Mario's debut as Jumpman.
I LOVED Donkey Kong '94 as a kid. They expanded the basic concept to 10 themed worlds, 100 stages. Super fun game.
THE CHEAPEST i have seen this one going for is $1800 that so called expert was way off
Well, this episode is from season 12. Do some research, do the math, and then account for inflation and see what figure you come up with.
MrProTechHD you’re way off Dbag
Ku Rules no he's not dumbass
@@r0bw00d I accounted for inflation and did some research while doing some math. I came up with your mom.
@@justinripley7530 That was completely uncalled for and, frankly, unfathomably boring. From here on out, best ditch the ad hominems entirely and put some thought and effort into your responses.
2:40 scared the poop right outta me
That creep is a psychopath
Why are u scared of drew Barrymore
Wait I don’t get it
Maybe if the eyes opened outta nowhere
Used to play that for hours at the pub, it was built into the table that you all sit around with your pints of beer on top of it. It was multi player, no need to switch seats.
show should be called "let me call a buddy of mine"
It shoukd be let's call joe bahama mama off the block
The condition sets it apart from other Donkey Kong arcades. This would be worth a couple grand to the right buyer, I trust.
That statement is actually false Mar DoggyO

Completely disrespectful how unknowledgeable that "expert" is. Embarrassing.
How is that. He told him the value
I can't even get 300$ for one in michigan
@@randybowen2323 Ill buy your donkey kong for $300 sir
@@randybowen2323 Ebay sold listings, 1000+ every time. Yours isnt selling because you are probably advertising to such a small group of people. Id buy it for 400 if I were near you. I am a retro game enthusiast and I also make lampshades out of my own ball skin when it sheds.
@@randybowen2323 um I will buy it. I live in California can u send me a link to buy it off you?
0:24 look of being purely terrified 😂
"Do me a favor: go call Nick--he's in the next room, probably by the Craft service table."
“They’re not that rare to find”, and I’m guessing this “expert” either buys too many bootlegs or plays too much on either MAME/home console ports.
- Joystick is not an original TKG-23-50. Should have a black ball top, smaller in diameter, and a clear dust cover, not a black one. What's shown is an aftermarket stick, bolted in from the top (which means that the control panel overlay has four holes drilled into it that shouldn't be there).
- Buttons not original: Jump button is yellow, should be orange. 1 and 2 player buttons are blue, but should be a darker navy shade.
- Coin mechs (the face plates at least) are not the original Asahi Seiko mechs.
- Coin box is painted blue, should be unpainted.
- Missing instruction sticker (should be on the black block under the bezel)
- Missing "Insert Coin" sticker (should be to the right of the speaker grill)
- He is correct to be looking for a "TKG" serial number on the PCB. Since it's the 2-board stack, should be "TKG-4-xx." That, however, only confirms that it's an original DK PCB. What he fails to do is check the serial plate on the back of the cabinet, which he would need to do in order to verify whether the cabinet itself was originally a DK or something else. (Could be a DK Junior or Popeye cabinet that was repainted.)
Overall, cab is in superb shape. T-molding and artwork look great. The monitor (the most important thing) looks like it may need some adjusting, but has no serious issues (foldover, jailbars, etc.) that would require new capacitors. Can't determine whether the sound amp needs work since the game audio can't be heard here. Joystick, control panel overlay, and instruction/coin stickers will need to be replaced with originals or reproductions, but those are easy to source.
The $600-$800 retail price given is very low even for when this was shot/aired, let alone at current prices, and the $300 offer from the shop is robbery. For a cabinet in this condition, the shop could have offered $1,000-$1,200 to this seller and more than doubled their money on a resale. To say that there's "really not much of a market" for video arcade games in original condition, particularly this one, is a bizarre statement. Original games are extremely valuable to collectors. While multi-cades sell to casual buyers, there is no substitute for original hardware, and collectors will pay for it. It's true that Nintendo made a ton of DKs, and they're not scarce, but it's also the case that out of all arcade games ever produced, DK is at the very top for the most sought-after. Supply is (relatively) high, but so is demand.
I give this segment a C+!
let me call an expert
the moment the expert said people want 60 to 400 games in one cabinet i lost it.
i guess no one wants the original game, and ONLY that game
lol this. In my case it was input delay specifically but I paid 800 for a TGM3 cabinet, but want it for the game as well.
@:25 seconds ... pause BIG HOSS face is ...like wtf where are we ?? Lmao LMAO
The $2500 the guy was asking was about right. $600-800 for an original DK machine? Not on this planet.
Corey's face looking at the room. 🤣
0:24 lol he was terrified.
Don’t sell it! That will be history one day!
Horror room would be pretty cool considering you had twelve spare rooms to do things with lmao
That little for a Donkey Kong cabinet?!?!?!?!?
This is an insult to the Donkey Kong community.
I really appreciate your work!Thanks for the video!
Hi! We're glad you enjoyed it! You can check out more #PawnStars clips here: bit.ly/30owMRj
Thank god he didn’t sell it to those parasite leeches.
There are two types of DK Original, the blue and the Red. Each is a different version of DK Original,Red Older less technical, more rare "1,000 to $2,000". Blue, more updated (compared to the red) Not as rare (available any where not just ebay), "600 to 800". This is a Blue Cabinet Original, the expert is right about the pricing for this particular version of DK Original.
Information based on two national database pricing tables for all know arcade games and their current prices being purchased for. Updated 2019.
The sideart is missing on one side and the other one is messed up. Also, the "expert" improperly states that the joystick is original, which it's not. The whole control panel is borked. He also didn't check for the monitor burn-in.
Google this and ones worse condition then this are 3200$. Thats insanly higher then the expert.
Legit would buy that thing for my top dollar being 5k. Donkey is my most favourite 1980s game.
It was my favorite to back in the day. The only thing I did not like about it was there was no ending to the game. The developers could finger out a ending for the game so it goes to the highest level and loops back around. I don't know if you seen the movie King of Kong check it out is a documentary on the game donkey Kong it's on Netflix.
You could buy more than one for 5k. The appraiser is correct they made lots of donkey kongs and now people make reproduction cabinets. 1200 and you could get a nicely restored one
it's kinda cringey how they pretend to know all this information about everything when it's obvious they are reading scripts beforehand
1:32 UNTRUE pitfall had players jump across hazards many years before
If one of these is $800, I will buy 10. Has anyone got one for sale?
Yeah...... for 2000 lol
800 dollars !! Not the currency where you are from
Yah 1600
I'll sell one to you for $1200, my grandparents have one and have been looking to sell it.
Should have asked me 2 months ago. I couldn’t give it away for $800. Sold for $700 in better shape than the one here.
Your wife in the background can wake up now.
She wanted to get aHEAD in life.
2:41
I don’t think people realize that the seller can say no 😂
This "expert" sounds like the type of guy who buys up old arcade machines to gut and turn into emulator cabinets. He's probably looking at the value to him to gut.
Rick: “DONKEY KONG AINT GOT NOTHING ON ME”
not an original joystick or buttons but ok
also you can tell if its a bootleg or not literally by just looking if the game says Nintendo or not
Mr. Brown played Donkey Kong famously.
I couldn’t stop looking at the head behind Corey the whole time 😂
$400? That's an insult to the donkey Kong community!
Greatest troll award goes to Chumlee... "not quite what you were looking for..." 3:28
When he got slapped with that meth charge *walks up to chumlee* "not quite what you were looking for huh chum"
chum: "that's a lotta money for an old monkey"
Mario wasnt a plumber... he was a carpenter.
Our family had on back in the 1980's.
Cool
imagine the XBox One being high valued 30 years from now. 2049
When I was kid, we visited NYC. My brother and I stepped into an arcade (several, actually) and virtually all of the Pac-Man and Donkey Kong games were obvious bootlegs. In fact, the DKs were called "Krazy Kong" and the colors were way off. The Pac-Man games used the bell icon from the eleventh level as the actual Pac dude. It didn't have a moving mouth or anything. If felt very NY mob knock-off at the time. Incidentally, my brother and I used to think that the seventh/"lime" level was a hand grenade.
Expert actor “This is no doubt the original mario bros machine and it’s is worth $500,000”
Corey “ I can give u $101 for it
We gonna just ignore the beginning ?? 👀😂
Oakland Warrior 3011 what are you talking about??
Appreciate this was a few years back but today a fully restored one is listed 5k so taking into account inflation and the years past I think the 600-800 value was wholesale as opposed retail!
Sometimes when these things are to good to be true, most of the time they are
600? That expert is NOT a expert.
1:37 Shut up chum! 😂
Still playing in 2020
When the expert just spews random “facts” and then says it’s worth 1/8 the price.
He sold Donkey Kong because it didn’t fit the room!? Dude just move it out. I would never sell an original Donkey Kong cabinet, let alone for $600
Move it out where?
@@aoeshi
To another room?
$800 is such a disrespectful price for such an iconic machine.
I just paid $400 for a 1up Mortal Kombat arcade machine at Costco and I would have paid double for this DK machine in a heartbeat
I had Wrestlefest and sold it for $600. Wish I still had it.
Give the Arcade game a Extreme Goth Makeover👻
Fred Davis Yeah, or that. I mean let’s think a little more about what your about to do.
The original test market game was a Donkey, not Mario. Me and my brother both remember playing it at the local bowling alley. Then when we went back a few weeks later the game was different, it now had a guy instead of a Donkey. We were confused because it was still called Donkey Kong, but the Donkey was gone, it was weird and we never saw or heard about the "Donkey" in Donkey Kong again, we always just assumed it was a test or demo game.
I think the arcade game Splatterhouse would go great in that room.
Later in time it is now worth a lot more.
Demons in his room play the game so they didnt want donkey kong to leave, so they just used that sorry guy to say a low number. Lol
Welcome to "Two chubby scammers"
His house looks big enough to store the donkey Kong somewhere else
Honestly
Pretty cool game. Would have thought it was more. Was fun to watch. Great video
300 to 400 I rather put it in storage or garage somewhere
It's Miyamoto, not Mayamoto. This guy is supposed to be an expert?
"Shigeru Mai-a-moto"
Looks like all these (friends) are in their favor
2:52 i had a heart attack
Not sure which one of these guys looks more like a serial killer. The owner or the expert. It's close.
Corey is chums side kick.
Corey says my man a lot
Police should check this guy's basement ..
That guy is a serial killer lol
Fat Hoss: I’ve got to double my money.
Lowballs at $300.
The expert said it is all original including the joystick but original cabinets did not have those giant 4 ugly screws and washers
The few that come up on eBay sell for $2000 least. More in Europe. I just got mine in decent condition for $2000 and I've been sniping for one a long time. Very difficult to get hold of, at least in Europe.
id recomend splatterhouse too replace the DK mashine
Sometimes it do be like that 😔
He needs a splatterhouse arcade machine
glad he keep it
Why does chumley get happy when the seller gets less
Did you know Cranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong
When i was 9 years old, i got a gameboy with donkey Kong and i kept getting stuck and mad so i smashed the screen the next day so i owned a gameboy for only 36 hours haha
In the 80s I spent all my lunch money on Donkey Kong 😛
I've owned 4 Donkey Kongs. The most I ever paid for one was $800. Joystick and buttons aren't even original. What a scam.
that ouija board would be a no-no in my book. Game was featured on the movie pixels
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO $600 AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHA
low ball.........
I'd rather have the game than a lousy 400 bucks, that won't even buy you a set of tires at today's prices
Bought a set of tires for 400 for my car. Brand new.
First, the hype that it’s in its original state - with a working board. I played this game a lot back in the 80s. It was a cool game. Back in the 80s I inquired directly into the price for an actual arcade game, “Crossbow.” The dealer wanted $500 for it back then. I wish I could have bought it. However, that shows the inaccuracies of this dealers assessment. Further, there is no comparison when it comes to a classic arcade to millennials wanting an Uber amount of games packed into one machine.That guy was no expert - just a con. He reasoned incorrectly.
Wrll according to Ebay it's worth 2800 dollars
You must be looking at a different ebay, I cant find one that SOLD for over $1200. They may be LISTED for $2800 but that isn't what they are selling for, there was one on CL in my area that sat on there for months at $800. I have a basement full of arcade games and haven't paid over $400 for any of them.
Even used there 1500 dollars
Perfect mint originals boards. Smh.. not professional appraisal at all
Id save that for my great great great great great grandsons
The game may not be rare, but it is one of the most famous video game franchises of all time. So wouldn't the original game still be worth a lot?
Nice leatherface mask in the backround
Tbh that's actually a decent selling price for a blue cabinet Donkey Kong machine.
The $600- $800? That is really cheap. The $300/$400 he offered is nuts. I know it needed an orange jump button and didn't have the original joystick, but those are easy fixes. The cab looked like decent shape, monitor the same. Im assuming it's a TKG -4.
