Anyone know the going rate for a Turtles in Time conversion kit? It has:

board
2p and 4p roms
side art
panel art
marquee
stickers
manual
some foil/cardboard thing that looks like it's used to heat up a giant hot pocket (i don't know)

I would say probably in the range of $5-600 for the average buyer, someone doing a cab over/converting maybe more.
 
the board itself is around $500 now. Steadily increasing so you can get a good chunk of change with the other stuff.
 
I'm almost positive someone either posted a price check or sale of an NOS conversion kit on KLOV in the past few months...

Was that this same kit, @elgwido?
 
TiT board alone is gonna be 500$ on its own. That kit, with sideart and everything...I wouldn't take anything less than 800.

A mint cab is 2,000$ easy.
 
Reproduction artwork is more than $300 for the whole cab, isn't it?

If assume NOS is worth more. I don't think anyone would bat an eye if you asked $1000 for it.
 
yeah these boards seem to sell around $450 at the cheap end and $600 at the high end these days.

I don't know how much interest there is in the original art because most people consider it to be terrible and many people are covering over the original machine art with custom art modeled after the SNES box art (which is honestly way cooler looking).

I'm pretty sure that metallic cardboard piece is designed to be mounted over the PCB to help cut-down interference, like a really cheap cage. I've seen those used on quite a few cabs from the 90s.

I think the original kits usually included the original Wico Sticks and buttons. the last full kit I saw including sticks and buttons went for about $850 IIRC.
 
I've got one of these kits too, and I'd also estimate the value in the high 800s low 1000s. Bare boards are going in $600 range now, and that art is not repro, but full original, along with the harnesses and the jamma harness (which is pretty solid quality) its a nice piece of history, and for the person doing a full on restoration or conversion- this would be a must buy.
 
I also would value it somewhere in the range of 800 to 900 USD.
 
Personally I would value this at $1200-1500, given it is a desirable item, new and complete in box, and extremely rare. There is no precedent to compare this to. Any item is only worth what someone is willing to pay and to any hardcore Turtles collector this is priceless. All arcade boards have increased the past 5 years, but Turtles has increase more than others. Good chance this might be only NOS TiT kit that still exists.

Doesn't matter what used TiT boards or artwork sells for, the value to hardcore collectors is the cool factor of having something complete that others do not.

I'm almost positive the other one had the joysticks.

I took a look around for the post the other day but couldn't find it again.
