Trade Opinion
FrizzleFried:
Looking for opinions.
I have a nice Tempest... rebuilt monitor (with low voltage mod)... cab is in 8/10 condition (some water damage at bottom right side... texture... but art looks great.... new CPO... new marquee... overall a nice machine.
A friend has been wanting the cab... he's asked about it a few times... his latest offer is $700 cash + the Terminator 2 I sold him for $300 (i think it was) plus a pretty nice looking Super Cobra.
Would you pull the trigger?
Flake:
Unless you have some ridiculous sentimental value associate with the Tempest machine I would absolutely pull the trigger. My reasons:
1. Tempest is a game you can play well in Mame
2. T2 is not a game you can play well in Mame.
3. In STL where I live I dont think you could realistically expect to get more than $700 for a Tempest - even in your game's good condition. Plus your getting an additional $450-$500 in game value on top of that.
But to each his own....
leapinlew:
Nope. Tempest is unique and pretty sweet.
However... if you are done playing tempest and want a new project - go for it.
Flake:
If you didnt live in F'n Pittsburgh I would offer you $300 for your T2 so you could have $1k in cash plus a Super Cobra. But alas......
RayB:
Do you need the cash?
How often do you play it?
How often are you at your buddy's house (and therefore could still play it)?
It's a great offer, but only if you want to part with it.
