Title: Tilt Arcade Game Sale
Post by: Slippyblade on October 25, 2011, 12:36:43 am: I just noticed that the Tilt Arcade near me, (which is a hive a scum and villany... and mostly broken games) has most of their stock plastered with FOR SALE signs. I about fainted when I noticed a Tekken 2 showcase cab tagged at $95. Is this a normal thing for Tilt to do? The only contact info on the machine was a reference to the Tilt twitter feed which seems to be unused since 2009. I checked the website (tilt.com) and the contact emails are both bouncing. I've not tried the phone number yet as it's to late at the moment.

Anybody know anything?

Thanks in advance,
Slippyblade

Yes, it is normal for them to be selling games from the start of November-December.

I would take that in a heart beat... Maybe offer 75 just to see if they'd bite.

If you dont mind me asking, how much was the skeeball machine you purchased? I would love to own one of those, I always have the most fun playing that game.

Post by: TheShanMan on December 13, 2011, 04:14:59 pm: I think the "normal" sale price is $595, at least in my area, but there was one location I found that had one for $295 "on sale". IMO that's a steal.
