Tilt Arcade Game Sale
« on: October 25, 2011, 12:36:43 am »
I just noticed that the Tilt Arcade near me, (which is a hive a scum and villany...  and mostly broken games) has most of their stock plastered with FOR SALE signs.  I about fainted when I noticed a Tekken 2 showcase cab tagged at $95.  Is this a normal thing for Tilt to do?  The only contact info on the machine was a reference to the Tilt twitter feed which seems to be unused since 2009.  I checked the website (tilt.com) and the contact emails are both bouncing.  I've not tried the phone number yet as it's to late at the moment.

Anybody know anything?

Thanks in advance,
Slippyblade

Talk to the manager at that Tilt location to buy the game.

Yes, it is normal for them to be selling games from the start of November-December.

 :lol  The manager?  I've never seen a living person in the place other than the occasional sucker that is intent on having their quarters eaten.  I guess I'll start asking around the mall admin folks for contact info.

I got my skeeball machine there about a month ago. Call the number for your location on the tilt website.

I would take that in a heart beat... Maybe offer 75 just to see if they'd bite.

If you dont mind me asking, how much was the skeeball machine you purchased? I would love to own one of those, I always have the most fun playing that game.

Pictures are overrated anyway.

I think the "normal" sale price is $595, at least in my area, but there was one location I found that had one for $295 "on sale". IMO that's a steal.
