Title: Hoping it's real...
Post by: Slippyblade on September 04, 2014, 07:34:09 pm
$20 Badlands cabinet (http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/vgm/4652295806.html)

Sent the guy an email and they responded promptly.  Response even had decent spelling and mechanics, so it might be legit.  The seller is having a down-sizing sale this weekend and the cabinet used to be in the rec room at his old church.  Even if it's a blown up monitor with no PCB, $20 is still a good deal just for the wheels and pedals.

Wish me luck - I'll let you folks know tomorrow.

I just offered him $40.










Just kidding. But if you really want it at that price, you should be in your car like now.

believe me, I know! I am waiting on response to see if I can pick it up tonight.  Considering it's 40 mins from my place to theirs, would suck to get there and find it gone.  My wife even likes this game, so it'd be a win-win.

I'd go hang out on his side of town until you get an answer. It's easy to get cockblocked in 40 minutes. Good luck, bro!

Considering I'm at work right now I don't have a lot of choice in the matter.  If I can get it tonight I will, otherwise I'll be there at about 6:30 in the morning.

Well that blows.  Didn't have the gas to get out there and back.  :(  I hope whoever gets it treats it decently.
