Dedicated Ms. Pac-Man for Trade or Sale

[FrizzleFried]

No fees, but no payment options besides cash.  I think $350.

Hmmm...I just noticed your "It's worth $150" recently rose 233%.

I'd go drop this on craigslist for the $500 and sit on it until someone bites.

Is it a low offer ? Yes.

Was it out of line ?  Not by a long shot. T

Notice that we didn't tell him the offer was out of line.  We told him it was a lowball and then didn't let him try and tell the seller it is not.  It is.  I don't really care if a guy offers $50 for a $1000 game but don't stand there and pretend it's not way out of line with actual market value.  The presentation is where the dishonesty lies, IMO.

I'll offer $151 and admit to it being a lowball offer. I'll need it delivered though.

$1 shipping is way harsh.  You're getting gouged!

Points have been made fella's. Let's let this die and let the seller sell his machine.

okay,  499.00 is my final asking

You guys spent a lot of time pulling in parts value, etc.  IMO - this cab ( with a little work ) will make a great addition to any game room.   I paid 750.00 for my Pac-Man.  It was a local pickup.  All original parts.  These older monitor are better than these new pcs of crap on the market today.

Yup, especially when you have to change a capacitor in the chassis if you want more H-size adjustment than 1/8" in either direction. I think that is my favorite part about those old monitors. I mean, why turn a knob on a front-mounted remote adjustment board on a new monitor when you can pull the chassis and do a trial & error width circuit capacitor changing routine on an old monitor?

I also like how 25+ year old flyback transformers tend to have one foot in the grave (the anticipation for when they are going to finally give up the ghost is exciting), and how fresh those 25+ year old capacitors are in general.
