Post by: brandname on September 06, 2005, 02:18:19 pm
i just found this today, might be worth looking into.  have no idea who this guy is, just wanted to pass it on.

"need to get rid of an arkanoid arcade machine, just stopped working and im moving to a new apt. landlord wont give back security deposit unless its out by thursday.

Who ever wants it please make arrangments to come pick it up. Purchased 2 years ago in working condition for $800, may need little repairs.

my security deposit is $3000, ----> more important.

if anyone is interested please call me"

patrick

Hello?  City dweller?

Bring cabinet to street level.  Stick "for sale" sign on it.  It won't last an hour before you get cash for the unit AND your security deposit.

What's stopping you?

sheer laziness, i would imagine.

point being, if he did indeed shell out $800 for it and it "just stopped working", there's probably a good amount of salvageable materials here.  i'm sure somebody here could make good use of it if it turns out to be in decent shape.

Hello?  Probably can't get it down the stairs and doesn't have anyone to help?

My apology for assuming you were the seller.

I would say the machine is in perfect shape if it's just some kid with too much money who is being forced by daddy to learn about hard choices.

DAMN!  I wish I could go get that machine.
