You know, ya just gotta laugh at these kinds of auctions. At least I do. Puts a reserve on it and a buy-it-now. Below he says, 'reserve only $400'. !! Oh, well thanks fer tellin us - and maybe someone'll BUY-IT-NOW for seven-fifty. I dunno, maybe with that monster wait-time, maybe we just gotta have it now!

Egads, here's another one. Scroll down to the description and you'll see it. Like, WAEEOOOOO - HEY CHECK THIS OUT text.......and then it goes to old teletype font. Hey, buddy, thanks for the ocular workout.

At least the Tempest cab looks ok - The 'Galga minl' cabinet looks like it sleeps on the streets at night!
-
what's with the huuuge fonts ? :o
and $45 bid or $7'000'000 buy now for a busted cab is optimistic innit haha
has anyone in the UK ever had arcade parts/games/cabs even shipped here from the USA before?

Parts, yes. Cabinets no way. I've exported a couple of Bar-Tops to European customers from England, but I only do it if they arrange carriage as it costs a fortune, is major ball-ache with customs and are so likely to get wrecked in Transit. I've never imported from the USA, but why would anyone need to when we got the whole of the UK and western Europe so easily accessible by land?
-
yeah you're right there.
i don't think it would be too easy to find old arcade stuff in europe tho..
it's easy to assume looking for arcade machines would be as with vinyl:
there's just more diggin' to be done in the USA!
-
only 7 hours to go!!! i totally expect the bids to come flooding in soon ::) i hope the guy who bid $50 for it gets it because that is what it's worth (maybe less)

Yeah, no doubt.
Someone bought the Tempest, though.
