Why would anyone have a NIB Robotron from 1982 ?

That guy (gamespeople)  in the other thread is 110 miles north of Seattle.  Actually in Vancouver Canada.  Notice his membership info says Canada.  I think he has been well known for trades as John's Jukes and has been selling parts and stuff for years.  Also known as flippers.com I think.  Bought a PS and some joystick from him years ago before I learned about BYOAC.

He just sold a NIB Robotron cocktail last week.  I think it went for $1500ish.

Well, these things are nice of course......but......I still have a feeling that I get a whole lot more from reconditioning/restoring a USED machine, getting it to a condition that is as good as possible/close to new.

It gives a lot of satisfaction to work on a machine and see it re-gain it's old glory step-by-step.

You'll never get that with a NIB......also I think you would tend to hardly touch it (keep it in the box) with a NIB, whereas you enjoy a restored machine by looking at it, playing it and showing off what you've accomplished to friends....

Just MHO

Chris G:
Might think about it if it were a full-size...

When did eBay start this anonymous bidder thing?  Guess I haven't been on there in a while.
