I own a PAC-MAN.
And it looks 1000 times better than this one!
Why so many bids?
And the price $$$$
Am i missing something here? ???

Maybe i should let my PAC-MAN sit outside for a Day in the rain.
Let it rust up on the CP and Coin Door.
Maybe kick and scuff it to death.
So i can get that much $$$ outta it ! :laugh2:

:o You gotta be kidding! Actually, don't damage yours - sell it as is and you're sure to get 10 grand!
Nice jacket, btw. ;D

Nice jacket, btw.
Thanks!
I got a free Bowl of Soup with it!

There's probably a shill bidder involved. Notice how the bidding skyrockets from $1000 to $4500 between n**n and 8**8?

Theres gotta be a scam in the bidding some where. That just isn't right.
That pic of BUCKTHEAD's pac has to be the second most posted picture on this forum, right behind a certain picture a certain someone changed all their posts to a while back... ;D

Wow im honored!
I didn't realize that?
Yeah something is screwy with that auction!
I love PAC's ! But that one looks like horse sh!t :censored:
-
Well, it says its a "MS Pacman PLUS". Maybe they didnt make too many of
the PLUS versions.

Ha. It just seems like every 2 or 3 threads, theres your Pac. Its a great looking machine and you have every right to show it off.

IIRC, Ms Pac PLUS was a rom swap for mazes. I don't know if it is the same as Ms Pac Attack, but I know a couple of the mazes are the same. If people on eBay are thinking its something super rare, I need to buy myself a ROM burner...

Lol. Actually i'm more proud of the jacket!
If i had to pick one of my machine's to show off alot?
I would probably go with my TRON.
Thanks for your kind compliment's !
They are most appreciated! :)

It kinda underlines his name......
Yeah, no Pac machine goes for more than a grand. That's just a fantasy auction righ there.

I don't take the Jacket seriously.
That's why i said... I got a free bowl of soup with it.
But with that being said. I do make it look good! ;)

That picture of him with the jacket next to the cabs really cracked me up. :laugh2:

Yeah, looks like n**n and 8**8 are pranksters. Looks like this guy's auction is going to have to start over.
Does eBay have a 'I don't think those bids are legit' option? If not, they should.
For that money, it should say Puck-Man, autographed by Namco programmers, and just for good measure, the roms from the infamous Time magazine photo. And the hoodie. ;D

Fat chance that will ever happen. Have you read this recent thread? (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=83731.0)

Oh ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---!
What's funny is, next weekend, I am going to pick up a Ms. Pac-Man from a guy who is just giving it to me. If only he knew.

I'll admit I'll go after x item on eekbay if it's the best price, but it's too much a pita to sell anything. I think I did it once, and a couple of books for a friend. I'd rather not make as much here than allow 4-8 people desperate for a part making #8 pay more than they should for something. Ebay wants the #8 syndrome, more money for them. Payment hold? Um, I use the payment to pay for the postage, guys..
I will also admit I get a kick out of looking at $1200+shipping cabinets that are in worse shape than mine. Absolutely love this one:
"The price listed is for the game in working condition. The game is currently not working, please allow 2 weeks for us to get the game in good working condition. The monitor will have a good picture, all the sounds will working and the controls are working"
Dang, I need to do that.
"Asteroids Deluxe: game does not have working power supply, side art, marquee, vector monitor, game PCBs or controls. Please allow 2-6 weeks for us to get the game in working order."
-
The ebay is "teh scaryz"
I am usually shocked with what people will pay for stuff. but hey. since i am in a major metropolitan centre, i have a lot of choice
-
The auction ends tomorrow. Come on, guys! Any last minute bidders out there? :laugh2:
-

Great idea! Then you could wait out the 21 day paypal hold while getting the game ready! :laugh2:
-
If you look at it now, the winning bidder (with only 4 feedback) is no longer a registered bidder, and the other bidder only had 1 feedback. Smells like shill bidding to me ;D
edit: That guy with the Pac-Man jacket is hilarious. He should be wearing yellow pants though, then he could blend right in to the machine if he was standing in front of it (Pac-man camouflage!) :laugh2:

I understand you :angel:
I had to get a Computer Space in order to get that 'kill screen Pac Man T-shirt' :D
I don't take the Computer Space seriously.
