15 plays. Check out the condition on this thing. I bet it brings around $4,000.

I live in Seattle. I could bid high being able to save on shipping. Not that I am going to bid on it though.

This guy has been listing and selling lots of NIB games.
CLICK HERE (http://www.flippers.com/TimeTravelWarehouse.htm) to see why.
-
Wow!
Might be time to have Chad suit up in his ninja suit and make a midnight run...
-
I'm going to snipe it and MAME that sucker!
-
...she's so beautiful....I can barely see though my tears that's so stunning.....
:'( :notworthy:

I am only a couple hours drive from him. I wonder if I should stop by and see everything in the warehouse up there?
The only problem is they do not hold as much sentimental value to me as to some of you guys.
I may get misty eyed over a Commodore 1581 disk drive NIB, but a Computer Space would just get shoved into the basement next to my ab rocker, skis, and everything else I never use.

As Paris would say, "That's Hot" Condition is mind blowing.
-
That needs to be in a museum or something! :dizzy:

For the pinball guys.
Here's some lucky bastid opening his 26 year old NIB Black Knight from the same place.CLICK ME (http://usergallery.myhomegameroom.com/gallery/album206?page=1)

Wow, that thing is fantastic.
To bad a place like Funspot couldn't get one of
these so we could all (on the east coast atleast) enjoy it.
-
Why? Funspot can get any number of nicely restored machines that would be great on route. What you can't do is make a routed machine HUO again. Let this one be. Besides, Funspot already HAS a Black Knight they're not taking much care of.

Did they hermeticly seal the building for 30 years or what :dizzy:
Most of those should be in a museum.
-
Here's his shop / website - http://flippers.com/TimeTravelWarehouse.htm
Also, he posted some video on the ebay auction! - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160022446371

That is unbelievable! :notworthy:
Man, I'd love to have that just to look at it. But even if I was to spend that kind of cash on a Computer Space, I'd be afraid to touch it. I'd want to put it in a glass case or something.
What a cool ass machine....
So what's the deal. There's really no explanation on his website except to say that "these have all been in storage since 1982 when the warehouse was essentially closed off." There's got to be more to the story than that. Why would a warehouse FULL of brand new games be "closed off" for 24 years?
It's like that old text file list of "things found in a government warehouse" that I downloaded off some BBS back in 1980-something. What's next? The engine that runs on water? The ark of the covenant? Bill Gates' impounded porsche?

I would love to see this on ebay? I bid $100 on the ark if there's free shipping! :P
Is there a penalty for a double Indiana Jones themed post?

Just don't mention Harrison Ford.
Oh, and don't forget what's next to the arc. But choose wisely...

a cup?
wait a shiny cup.

$5000

$4,850.00
More than I can afford, although I thought about bidding when it was in the $3k range. I was tempted just to add $1 to the bid to see what would happen.... but then I was afraid I might actually win it and have to pay up! :)
