A broken SW Tril and a broken SR for $50 each. Then sell me the SR yoke for $80. #winning #helpingabuddy #twoarcademachinesfor$20afteryokesaleasfindersfeee

UGH I've been watching that listing... it's such a crazy good deal (and STUN Runner is one of my all time favorite arcade machines) He's re-listed it twice now because apparently no one is biting... I just flat out don't have any room for 'em .

As the old adage goes: If its too good to be true it more than likely is.

$50 for big, dumb, ugly, broken games is not "too good to be true."

My first SW Tril was big dumb ugly AND not broken. Price? $50. Boom. Merica!

I've found that old adage rarely applies to arcade machines.
Typically with arcades the bigger the machine the cheaper they sell because no one has the space. Last fall I rented the largest Uhaul truck they offered and filled it with machines for a grand total of $600. all of them worked, one needed a new monitor. mostly just needed to be cleaned up.
Star Wars Trilogy is too mediocre of a game for someone to dedicate the space to something as large as a dedicated cab. And STUN Runner doesn't have that much of a following; it's too old for 90s gamers to care and too new and too big for 80s gamers to care.
A Broken Model 3 PCB in that star wars cab is worth $100 alone, that and the force-feedback joystick, even if it's broken make it worth picking up. These machines would have been picked up and brought home already if I had the space.
