What is the cost of a typical ?
A: The cost of an arcade game varies considerably and depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to: condition; new popularity; title, design and technicality, etc. The majority of games available at Welly range from just a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. Prices for the same title may vary by several hundred dollars from dealer to dealer due to the presence of (or the lack of) return policies, machine warranties,qualified technical support technicians, etc. The current market price of the game and most importantly the machine condition (if pre-owned) also affects the actual price of a game. Another plus of purchasing from Welly is that we refurbish our own games in our own warehouse facility. That means we can keep costs lower, we can guarantee quality, and we can brand or personalize a machine (for example: put your company’s name on the side of a claw machine or else). Other factors that may determine the cost of a game include:
Number of simultaneous players
Material of machine – Plastic(acrylic) or Metal
Monitor (screen) size, Type (CRT or Plasma)
Current market value (pre-owned games)
The cosmetic and mechanical condition of the machine
Current machine popularity, machine rarity
Current supply and demand of the specific claw machine you are looking to purchase
