Author Topic: Playchoice arcade for 350 $ Worth it ?? (Read 4269 times)

Crabboy · « **on:** December 15, 2009, 09:08:02 pm »

I met this guy who had a playchoice in garage, Doesnt make use of it at all. But wants 350 for it.
Yes it was IMMACULATE !!!!!!
But 350 for Nintendo games? The games were common very common. I think it was missing 1 but other than that. I told him I would think about 350 I told him 260 and he wanted 280..
Very good condition cabinet and monitor. It jumped a lil when you would bump it, suggesting the games or a cord is coming loose. But other than that. It was SAWEET. But 280 ?
Hes holding on 280...

Any suggestions?
BTW the playchoice 10 was made in 1990. Does this qualify for a classic arcade

If you dont get no help here, post this over on the KLOV forums but I'm thinking get it at that price. Those are always a big hit at parties.

its a "BIGGER" hit when you have two counter-tops at a party,..(very easy to move around).which i have...and willing to part with.

Hey, I sent you a PM earlier. I'm interested in your Playchoice countertops.

Yeah I agree, he had another looking at it. ill have to see tomorrow morning if he still has it. I wouldnt have to do anything at all to do.
Other than stop the timer , or find a way to add credits without quarters..

Crabboy · « **Reply #6 on:** December 16, 2009, 12:56:28 am »

LOL its all good. There's plenty of space out in cyberspace....What ya think about the playchoice?

emdkay · « **Reply #7 on:** December 16, 2009, 01:50:05 am »

I like the Playchoice. I know they're just nintendo games, but I like the kiosk/arcade attempt it made.

Well now that I acquired my playchoice I can tell ya where Im at. Im in California.

I wasnt about to give up my location and my relic.......

Crabboy · « **Reply #13 on:** December 16, 2009, 02:48:39 pm »

Here is my Playchoice- 9

I had no idea this was glass.....

I called it a PLAYCHOICE 9 , cause the guy had only 9 games in it. Ill be looking at other games .
What ya think ? I am stoked....The bezel is a tinted glass.It looks very nice that way.
Also I didnt realize that Nintendo started making the cabinets by cut design. Donkey kong and other are different wood. This is particle board. It is heavy, no doubt. I used the curb plants to cushion it as you see. All of my neighbors are at work. Plus I gotta go to work, iI cant be driving with this in the back. Plus how am I gonna explain another Arcade to my gf

??

emdkay · « **Reply #14 on:** December 16, 2009, 03:27:37 pm »

Wow, nice!! Congrats! That cabinet is in great condition. It came with a sweet set of games too. Now for the fun part of collecting some more of the 60 games available... after you smooth things over with the old lady, od course :-)

The guy won't get back to me with pictures and more details on the Playchoice countertops. I don't think he wants my money

Nice looking cab. It looks pristine inside. I am jealous. Nice grab!

I'm pretty sure he was just congratulating the guy on the upright cabinet. How much are you looking to get for each countertop, so I know it's at least reasonable. I live close to you so if the price is right, I can take one off your hands.

Crabboy · « **Reply #21 on:** December 17, 2009, 03:36:38 am »

Now does anyone know how to turn off the timer to freeplay ?

After all that. Your not selling it ?!? You even were soliciting for offers. I maybe think Poker Brat didnt have em after all.
You called him on his bluff, and he didnt deal a good hand...
Sorry EMDKAY...
Good luck with your PLAYCHOICE search...
