Pirahna Cocktail Table
« on: September 16, 2004, 08:13:40 am »
Saw this on Ebay and apparently the guy pulled it from the auction due to the lack of bidding on it.  This happens to be in my neck of the woods, so I emailed the guy and he is selling it for a friend apparently and gave me the guys number.  Don't really need it, but if I can pick it up for cheap I may grab it, any thoughts on what I should offer the guy?  I was thinking if I can get it for $100 or less, I'd have a working cocktail to go with my Mame cabinet now, and maybe someday I could Mame it.

I can't believe nobody even bid $0.99 on that! It looks like a really clean cab, although the photos don't show the monitor in action, or any close-ups of the controls.

I'd start off at $50 and see what the guys reaction is. If he can't get $0.99 for it on eBay, I'm sure he'd be happy with something under $150.
Get your haggling hat on!

Actually think Ebay must reset the price when he cancelled the auction, because it had gotten up to a wopping $10.00 when he cancelled it with still over 24 hours left.  $50 sounds like a good starting point, since cab does appear to be in good shape.  Kind of a weird layout though with the controls right on the top surface of the table, but it does make for a pretty compact sized cocktail table.  I'll post back if I end up with it.

Yeah, if you check he bid history you can see the bids.  I think it got up to around $50 or something.  Once the auction was pulled, the bids went to $0.

$50 bucks sounds like a good place to start. perhaps decide before hand how high you want to go. if he talks up the price too high it will be easier to walk away...
