Dude, that search actually turned up a ton of games in my area!
I called and left a message about a Gauntlet Dark Legacy and  a Police Trainer. Hope it pans out, as I actually have some money this time.

I wish those fools would update every once in a while.  Every thing I've looked into was gone.

ive never called about anything with them, the namco somewhat close to me never has anything listed, and any time they do its always a coin changer i dont need or a skill/ticket game of some sort.

and they DO have some $25 items

90780
 CHANGER BC-25
 BCT
 $25.00
 WARREN, OH
 (630) 238-2200 Ext. 2318
 
changer bc-25?  Isn't that a bill converter?  I bet it doesn't work because those are usually pretty expensive and always useful (I've never seen an arcade remove them from an arcade... just add more or replace them.)

Thats what happened to me. Called about 2 different Gauntlet Legends cabs for $149, both were gone...

Well, the Gauntlet was long gone, but the $249 Police Trainer was still around. Only crappy thing is that the Police Trainer is 2 1/2 hours away. Don't know if I want to drive that far to check it out. I have time to think about it though, because the guy said it would be 30 days before they could pull it from location anyways.

Thats not the police trainer in S. Dennis is it?
I was checking out that site and I guess it's in my town.

I think I even know where is it, but the place is shut down for the season. Would explain the reason they can't pull it before 30 days.

I'd be willing to check it out and shoot some photos for you when/ if they open up.

It is in Morgantown, WV. It takes 30 days because they will pick it up next time they run that route and bring it back to the shop. They replace it with a new game in the cycle. If I see it and change my mind, they just put it out at a different location.

If this site bans out it could be better than going to an auction.  You don't have to drive over an hour to look and IF they have a game you want you’ll have to wait all day for them to put it on the block, then you have to hope it doesn't go over your budget.

LOL...no, you just have to pay in full, and wait a month for them to pull it from location.  i bought a couple machines from them already, and while the deals are decent, you have to have TONS of patience, because it is a SLOW process.  i stick to the auctions, because sometimes i just dont wanna wait 4-6 weeks to pick a machine up.

You have to pay in full sight unseen??
The guy in my area pulls the game for you to look over, and you don't pay until you are happy and walk out with the game in hand.
