Why is the PAC-MAN so High $$$ ?

[BUCKETHEAD]

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 ! 

[TheShanMan]

You gotta be kidding! Actually, don't damage yours - sell it as is and you're sure to get 10 grand!

Nice jacket, btw.

[BUCKETHEAD]

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...

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 

[Xiaou2]

 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!

[Ummon]

Nice jacket, btw.

It kinda underlines his name......


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

[BUCKETHEAD]

Nice jacket, btw. Grin

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!   

[Hemi]

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

[kayoteq]

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.

Fat chance that will ever happen. Have you read this recent thread?

[Jack Burton]

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.

[kayoteq]

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."

[Axe]

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

[TheShanMan]

The auction ends tomorrow. Come on, guys! Any last minute bidders out there?

[ahofle]

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."

Great idea!  Then you could wait out the 21 day paypal hold while getting the game ready!

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 

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!)

I understand you 

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