The $65,000 Question
« on: December 16, 2010, 11:01:04 am »
The question being, would you pay $65,000 for this guy's collection?

Too bad he's not willing to part it out. I've always wanted a Star Wars machine! And he's here in the Phoenix area, too!

I'm just getting in to the hobby and don't know how much some machines go for, but $2500 a piece (average) does seem pretty steep.  :lol

I've been watching that auction for MONTHS now...  he always re-lists it, always the same price.  What a :tool:

Does he ever put the "E" in large or is it always left out?

If you look at his other auctions, he's selling a jet engine for $5000.

The Sinistar cockpit is pretty rare, and you don't see many nice Joust cocktails but I'd still estimate he's about $50,000 high.

14)   Berzeric

Is that a terrible misspelling of Berzerk?

The spelling and grammer in that auction is god awful. He has his head up his ass if he thinks he is going to get something even CLOSE to the price he wants.  :laugh2: :tool:
Pictures are overrated anyway.

Does anyone else find irony and amusement in that?  (Sorry Mikezilla!)

There have been some sellers on Ebay who do that just to advertise their business. They never expect to actually sell the lot.
NO MORE!!

Too bad he's not willing to part it out. I've always wanted a Star Wars machine! And he's here in the Phoenix area, too!

now we know where all the cabs are in the valley. Laughs. yeah, he is way high.  I always laugh at some of the listing that are just crazy high in price.. you honestly think you gonna sell that for X amount.. when you can buy many more on the same auction for like 70% cheaper.    just makes me wonder sometimes.. maybe its advertising for some.. others i think its the type of person who just gets a kick out of people asking about it than telling them you cant afford it..   them jerks are always amusing.


also you were right about rain.. we getting nailed!
