Hey NH BYOACers

[Le Chuck]

Somebody go get these if they're available http://nh.craigslist.org/vgm/4637592936.html

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

Probably already gone having had a bidding war with locals trying to under and over bid each other and getting the owner to back out of arrangements already made.  Competition here is fierce and many have very flexible ethics.

[jdbailey1206]

Yeah.  I think someone forgot a zero.

Speaking of bidding war I'll give you $81.50 for the yoke.   

[PL1]

Yeah.  I think someone forgot a zero.

Pretty sure this KLOV thread asking $200 is by the same guy.

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.

Oh stop it with the "blah blah part is worth $500 ALONE" BS.  You don't make $250/hr and you didn't waddle down there to go strip that part, so it's obviously not worth squat.  I've been hearing your brand of crap for 15 years.

waddling is so inefficient, I prefer to drive when I go to strip parts

That's quite a shitpile.  Congratulations.
