Yeah, me too. As would most people here.

ARGH!

So, I came over and did the research.  Measured the doorways, etc.

I organized a truck and somebody to help lift it and I called the guy back.

Ended up talking to his son and he informed me that VF4 *and* a bunch of the other games were already sold to another vendor!

If I would have known what I had in front of me, I would have given the guy $300 on the spot and pushed it home ;)

The price of ignorance.

Thank you for the quick replies fellas.

I ended up buying a bowling cabinet from him that is in good physical condition, but I can just stick to my original plan with that one (PC Monitor).

Thanks again!! You guys rock!

What criteria should you use to decide if something might be a collectors item?  This interest me too.  I am working on the Super Sprint Machine making it MAME compatible.  Everything I am doing is intended on keeping the cabinet 100% original.  I have made my own connectors to plug into the existing wiring harnesses so I don't even have to remove them.  I will be making my own cardboard screen bezel because I don't want to modify the original.  During this process I have wondered if SuperSprint will someday be a rare collectors item.

Well it's pretty much a judgment call, I guess. I'm a firm believer that some machines become classics and others just get older. It all comes down to a matter of opinion about a machine, but if you add up all the opinions you can reach a concensus. Example: Galaga is collectible, valuable, and "classic". Why? Because everybody agrees.
