US$500-700.
Alexandre Souza presented the opposite opinion:
I'll resume it: They were cheap. I'd not
sell a space invaders in
pristine condiition for less than $2000 :o)
Well it wasn't pristine, but it was in good condition for 30 years old!

Considering the silly prices seen there for some of the classic

I had another look in the window on Monday night, and I noticed that the
machine was called "The Invaders" rather than "Space Invaders".
Oh, and the Gottlieb pinball table was a game called "Totem", with a
Native American theme. I don't know if that has any significance.
