Title: Is it just me or is this a bargain?
Post by: Magnet_Eye on July 22, 2006, 07:27:25 pm

man, i keep finding these deals locally to me lately.

Here is a TRON game, that seems like it might work but the monitor is dead. It is just a regular vertical monitor, right?

So, again... should I buy it? (Even though I shouldn't. heh.)

No you shouldn't.  Well, if you got the skills to get it working again, it IS a bargain. The photo is not very clear but the cab looks pretty good. I would get it if I could get it for that price anytime !

Offer $100 because the monitor is dead.

19" monitors are easy to come by.

Heck...it could be an easy fix.

yeah, i figure if im lucky i put in a new monitor and its good to go. Tron is one of the machines i have always wanted to own. I actually have a working 19" monitor in my jungle hunt which isnt working right now that i can throw in there for a while.

Ok, so maybe for $100 it would be a decent deal?

If everything else is in good to excellent condition, I might even be tempted to pay $200. But I'd start my offer at $100 and work from there.

Actually perhaps it should stay ... it's a good example of why asking for a consensus on price can be a problem.

Sorry you didn't get it.

Cheers.
