Title: Star Wars Worth
Post by: FrizzleFried on October 22, 2008, 09:52:57 am
Question:  What would a Star Wars cockpit running the exact same hardware (including 19" WG6100) be worth in a cockpit in 8/10 condition versus an upright in 8.5/10 condition?   How much more do you think the cockpit would pull when selling?

Keep in mind... 19" WG monitor in both (same monitor).

Do you need a selling point for the wife Frizz ?

How much did you buy your upright for?

Depending on that, sell it for a nice profit and use the profits to restore the cockpit. Then you can tell the wife you have a net investment of near zero.

Sometimes you just have to say "so I'll spend X on this and give you X to spend on plastic flowers and shoes".

That is always the last second desperation move...and it works.

I finally solved my wife problem though when it comes to the hobby - I just converted her to our side. Mwahhahahahahahah!!!

Wife's already appeased when I explained to her I could sell the yoke to cover the cost alone.  What I didn't tell her is that I will likely NOT sell the yoke,  but rather move everything over to the cockpit,  then patiently look for an Amp chassis and another working boardset for the upright so I can sell her whole.

...who knows.
