Yeah i noticed that, don't know why he didn't jump at the offer. I will talk to him don't see why this won't work. Thanks again. Rob

Arcadiac:

Wiz, thank you, I'd be happy to give it a try, very generous of you to offer.  All I ever wanted was the $500 working MAME machine that I paid for in good faith, regardless of all the chatter, BS and opinions.  I'll email you my addy.
Wiz, I appreciate your help and will let you know how it turns out.  


Wizard of DelRay:

Okay.  Just so we're all clear here this is gonna square you, Arcadiac, and you, Rob, on your transaction.  If that's not the case then I need to know ASAP cause that was the purpose of this.

rob1234:

Its fine with me, I know I sound like an ass but that is his only option. He can buy the mother board or get yours and I will fix it. I won't put any money into it or give a refund since it left working and he openly admits it was working, but I will put some time into it. Thanks again wiz.

That's what you DID get.  It worked when you played it with him.  It didn't when you got home.  It is both reasonable and logical to assume that something happened during transport.  If rob had provided transport for said machine, he would be responsible for ensuring the game worked when set up at your house.  Since he didn't, it is YOUR responsibility to get the machine to work again.

I bought a game at an auction.  It worked fine.  It was my responsibility to make sure the condition the machine was in was acceptable to me.  After I purchased it, I took it home.  Upone getting it home, I plugged it in.  The screen was wavering and blurry.  Do I take my machine back and demand that I get payment back equivalent to costs involved in fixing the monitor?  No.  I accepted the probability that my transportation methods caused the problem, as should YOU.  

What was the purpose of playing the game at his house?  You state you paid for "a working MAME machine", which you ascertained while playing it.  Checked, passed, sold.  

Rob, you're a good guy for going out of your way to rectify a situation in which you bear no responsibility.  If ever I have the opportunity to do business with you, I would do so without reservation.  

Wizard, your generosity is beyond belief.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, and I appreciate your efforts to help resolve this situation.

Nothing against you, Arcadiac.  You've just invested a good chunk of money, so I understand your frustration.  Thank goodness you've purchased from someone like rob.  Other sellers may not be/have been so kind.
