Hello Dennis,
It works perfectly. It had been sitting in a garage
fro the past 12 years, so it is a little dusty inside.
The glass on the top is scratched up. You can see
through it, but it would look alot nicer with a new
piece of glass. The cabinet has some laminate chipping
around the base of the table in various places.
On a scale of 1-10, I would honestly say that the game
play and monitor are a 9, and the cabinet is a 6-7.
You'll notice the top glass clips missing in the
pictures. I took them off to repaint them.
Let me know if you have a problem with the pictures.
Thanks!
Craig
P.S. As far as price, the highest offer that I have is
$600. I really do not want to sell it to a game
"broker". I feel that they are killing our hobby by
artificially inflating prices. I'd rather take less
from a collector.
His Response. Notice the use of the word "GAME" seems like a generic insertion, those are his capitals, not mine.
"Greetings, Everything sounds well and I must commend that the GAME is in excellent condition and am okay with the prize $600 and I will be willing to offer you $650 for it so i would want you to keep other buyer's off. Am actually buying it as a birthday present for my son .Concerning payment I have a friend in the state that is ready to issue you a Certified Cashier's check in USA funds since I don't have the funds in your currency. For convenient and easy transaction, I have a liable shipping agent who'd be responsible for the shipping as soon as you receive payment for the GAME.I will therefore need the following information of yours to forward to my friend before he sends the check.
NAME IN FULL........
ADDRESS IN FULL
COUNTRY..........
ZIPCODE........
CELL/OFFICE/HOME PHONE NUMBER.......
I await your soonest reply .
DENNIS"
