Baby Pac-Man, How much?

Kaytrim:

I honestly don't know if I can recoup the investment or not.  I was looking at this as a learning project and get some enjoyment out of it for a while.  Like I said if I don't get it for the $150 then no big deal. 

I am not looking real hard for a project cab.  If one comes along that I can work on, like this one then I'll take a stab at it.

Boo!

Kaytrim, don't count on getting your investment back, on this cab or most others.  That's a hard thing to do in this hobby now.  The goal normally isn't to break even financially, it's to learn or get a game or save a game or something else but not to recoup all costs/profit.

You read my mind Chad. ;D  However I have to appease the wife as well.  She is very money conscious which makes it difficult.  If I get the Baby Pac Man I plan on restoring it to working condition and later maybe fixing any of the cosmetics as time and funds allow.  Even though she thinks about selling it after I fix it up I may not do that for while.  Knowledge is still worth something after all is said and done.

That's what you have to make her understand, I think.  Acquired knowledge has substantial value.  So does productive hobby time that makes you happy.  These don't show up in the checkbook.

If she doesn't appreciate those, tell her that not having a game to work on makes you want to go out and drink with your friends in that time instead.  See if that lights a bulb.
