Thanks Ken!   I think I am going to pass on the Mattel one though.  He is asking way to much.  He had a 400 tag on it but said he would take 300.   Still too much apparently.  :)

Any advice on an Aloha (older one) and a Raven?

ChadTower:

I wouldn't start the kid on an electromechanical pin. 

$700 is too much for Raven unless it's a really nice one.

Ken Layton:
Never heard of Aloha before. Know nothing about it.

A friend had a Raven on his route 20 years ago. From what I remember about the game was that it was boring.

tirwin88:
Here is the Aloha.  I went to see it and liked it alot.  Then I had a monetary issue and wasnt able to buy it.  I emailed him to see if it is still available.  Waiting for a reply back.
