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.
