Arrrrgh! Why do I always do this!
« on: April 30, 2008, 10:40:59 am »
I can't believe I didn't notice this until just now!  So compeltely frustrating.  A mere 30 minute drive from my house someone was dumping a TON of stuff including a multitude of arcade cabinets.  A Galaga, a few Pac-Mans, and a bunch of other stuff all for next to nothing.  The sad thing is, the "sale" was last weekend.   :'(  It's rare that I can find stuff close to my home, so when I miss my chance it's quite upsetting.

ARRRRRGGGGGHH!!!!!!!!!

Any idea how much those cabs went for?  Hard to tell, but they look to be in superb condition.

I wonder how I missed this, I check CL regularly.

Did you message to see if anything was left?

I *did* see the ad.  The Centipede they were asking $500 for.  Similar prices for the others.

I think that may have been a different person.  I say that because I e-mailed the centipede ad person and he said he only had Centipede, Blitz 99, and something else.  The one linked to in the first post showed a whole slew of others.  (Though it could have just been a stock photo of all his games and only the three he listed separately were for sale).
