Holy christ. Where'd find that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---? Where ya gonna put 'em?
-
I have it set to ping me when something "ARCADE" comes up on ebay within 250 miles. Well... it came up. I waited... i lurked... I sniped.
As for where it will go? I just bought a canopy for the side of the house to put the buggy in...and I'll likely rent a storage for a few months.
Yes....I will be selling games soon too.
:)
-
That Ms. Pac art (at least the front stuff) is sweet. :cheers:
-
What a steal how do you set up a ping on ebay for distance
-
Jeez, man, talk about getting an arcade in a box! I'd dang near drive to ID (1000 miles) for that deal. My wife would disown me though. Although, they WOULD fit in my downstairs wood shop -- of course I'd have to evict all the tools. :banghead:
Good steal!
-
Under advanced search you can set up a search for a certain distance from your zipcode... you then save that search and daily you'll get emails telling you of anything.
I am stoked. I was afraid the seller, with only 14 feedback, was going to pull a ---meecrob--- on me. He'd listed the lot for $3800 or something on the local CL about a month ago. I offered on a couple games but he was adamant about selling the lot. His BIN was $3,650 I think. He was HOPING for a lot of dough. He could have told me to pound sand at $866 and with only 14 feedback, what's he gunna lose? Sure, I could have sued...yah right.
But I was STOKED when he returned a message I sent asking what form of payment he wanted and how to set up pickup. I even got his phone number now.
I'm pretty darned sure it's a done deal... I'm calling Uhaul tomorrow to rent a truck. I figure a 16' should be big enough...
-
Make sure you get one with a power lift gate. It will make life MUCH easier.
Hopefully this guy doesn't flake out on you.
Tell you the truth, I'd pay him $900 just to make him feel better.

I actually considered doing that.

Nice haul!
You should post about it over at KLOV...Oh, wait... >:D

Go take a look under the "SOMETIMES..." thread... :cheers:
I get ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- done... regardless of the BS.
-
Lol I know, I saw your alter-ego posting, I just had to poke you with a stick ;D
-
And I thought there were no arcade games to be had near you ... nice haul, asshat!
:cheers:

Actually... PapaFriz was banned... I didn't really hide the fact it was me...
But I came to the conclusion that I was disrespecting McLemore (ADMIN) by pulling that crap, regardless of whether or not I was in the wrong to begin with. The ban is only 24 hours... so to hell with it. I PMed ADMIN and apologized for skirting his ban and asked for the PapaFriz account to be deleted.
Am I lurking there? Sure... but I ain't posting or logging in. It's stupid ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- for sure, but it's the decision handed down by the one in charge and it is what it is.
For the record the official reason for my ban was:
You have been banned for the following reason:
let's see ---smurfette--- -- put up or shut up --- isn't helpful
Date the ban will be lifted: 07-14-2009, 12:00 PM
I'd actually have to agree that my comment, "Lets see ---smurfette---, put up or shut up" was NOT helpful in the thread...so there it is.
-
And I thought there were no arcade games to be had near you ... nice haul, asshat!
:cheers:
Thanks Jeffo... I guess I am eating my words now. ;)
BTW - This makes it 3 Galaga's I've owned in Galaxian cabs... and ZERO in their proper cabs...
-

Well, since I've got no room and am making no progress, picking on you is all I have left ...
:cheers:
-
Wow!!!! That is an AMAZING deal!!! You are gonna make a killing fixing/selling those.
-
I'm gunna spread the love. There are a few locals who'll get a chance at a couple pre-restore for cheap to make room I think.
-
holy crap!, 14 games for under 900 bucks? and look at what they are!; lots of classic there.
it's gonna be pac mania at your house.
someone call the cops he just stole them games.
congrats :cheers:
P.S post pictures of you picking the games up i gotta see that.
-
I'll try... but I'll have to be pretty cool about it. I don't want to show up acting like a dick taking pix and what not. I'll for sure get pix unloading...
-
lol ya, that works too, i just curious to see what 14 games looks like in a truck.
really awesome snag on this one, congrats again.
-
Wow, that's too cool. A whole arcade in one big buy. Amazing.
-
I want the pole position... bad.
-
I want the pole position... bad.
I'd likely sell it to you in "as-is" non-working condition pretty cheap. As a matter of fact, once I inventory things and put prices up, someone's welcome to make an offer on a couple of cabs and those two cabs can be shipped by NAVL for about 10% than what 1 cab would ship for...
...it makes shipping costs much more stomachable. If I remember correctly it was $365 for 2 cabs shipped to New Jersey from here for example.

I am seriously interested. So, when you get to that point, hit me up. I'm only 2 states away...
-
Friz,
I might be interested in one or two of them cabs
-
AWESOME score dude. Makes my Berzerk "score" look like nuthin. :cheers:
-

Shoot me a PM and we can talk. It's looking like I will likely be picking these up tomorrow. I am making room in the garage tonight. I also have a couple friends willing to store a couple WORKING games at their places.
:)
-

Talk to me if you're interested in any of the games... I will be emailing the locals with some deals prior to opening up to the rest... I'm going to need to clear out a few cabs to make room to work.
:)
-
That's a pretty sweet score. Hope you've got a bunch of free time coming up! :cheers:

Do the hanging off the back of the truck with two hands while you're pulling away thing, like Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop. That'd be sick as hell.
Don't forget pics! ;D
-
I just talked to the seller. It seems the games are at a property he's working on and that his "employee" will be there available from 8am to 10pm anytime. So it looks like I WILL be able to fully document this buy...
W00t...

Or just keeps saying "I TOLD YOU WE AIN'T FALLIN FOR NO BANANA IN NO TAILPIPE".

Dude, this is sounding like it will end like the beginning of Beverly Hills Cop. ;D Only this time, the truck will be filled with games instead of cigs.
-
lol at this rate you'll be able to sell some, keep some, and still turn a profit.. you lucky dog :notworthy:
-
Funny thing is I only have room for maybe 2 or 3 of the 14...
...well... that's not that funny.
:)
-
Hey Frizz....with some black paint, that Ms. Pac would get you closer to a Galaga....that's progress...lol.
Come to think of it, I don't see much Midway love in your collection.
So, which 2 or 3 of those gems are your keepers?
-
Im sure everyone wants one, but I'd love to get a MsPac from ya, my mom is retiring in either september of this year or march of next year and she's always wanted one. I know shipping is going to cost an arm and a leg or more but hey, its my mom. Lemme know if anythings left. heck I'll trade ya an MKII or something :p

Probably closer to 2 than 3. This was purely a financial decision... I plan on making some dough to buy a nice pin.

Shoot me out a ballpark offer of what you're looking to pay (with the understanding you want to see pix, condition, etc) and that would be a good starting point.
-
Lots of pix...

-
So ... what are you keeping ?
If it were me and I was going to keep 2, they would be Asteroids and Scramble. But, I already have an Asteroids, so I am at a loss for the 2nd ... probably one of the Williams, but it would be a tough choice.
-
I too already have an asteroids. I'm leaning toward Pac Plus... not sure... may just sell `em all and use the dough to buy a nice pin.
-
Nice grab...mind me askin how much you got for the digital gold mine?
-

...well, I didn't "get" anything for them "yet". ;)
I paid a very cool $866.00 for the lot.
Advertised as 5 working 9 non-working... thus far I've been through 4 of the non-working and one of them just happened to be TURNED OFF...so perhaps that is 6 working 8 non working? That said, the Galaga was advertised as working...and it is... but man the monitor is bad.
-
wow that guy has got to be pissed at ebay right about now.

Another reason I'm scared to list my cabs on eBay. I've got a multicab I've been trying to unload on Craigslist for months now. If I put it on eBay I'm sure wouldn't get much for it. And there's that chance that they'd demand to use Paypal - and according to eBay rules I'd have to accept it.
-

I expected him to be... to the point he may not have done the deal (he only had 14 feedback), but surprisingly he was pretty unfazed by the results of the auction having said pretty much "I expected they'd go for more... but I am glad to have the space back".
I was put at ease when I talked to him first.

If there is any chance I could lose money on an item, then it does not go on ebay. I tend to only sell random things that I nothing in that will make decent money on ebay. My work has given me several obsolete pieces of equipment to do with as I please. Turns out 'obsolete' is in the eye of the beholder. :)

Friz was kind enough to let me buy the DK and ms pacman from him for a very fair price. :applaud: Glad to contribute to your goal of making enough money to buy a pin! Can't express how excited I am. DK is my all time fave, and my wife has been asking for a ms pac (cocktail, but she said this would work!). And this means I can finally run D2K! ;D

ShanMan - any interest in a Berzerk when you pick up these games from Frizz? I have one a few miles from Frizz for $350. Decent condition, works, monitor looks good, etc.
-
No. I'm going to be full going back (bringing the galaga back for someone else), and I never was much of a berzerk fan. But keep me in mind in the future if you have games you want to sell. My parents have a 2nd house in Boise so I get out there occasionally, and our next house should have a nice big gameroom so I'll be looking to ramp up on my collection. ;D Thanks for offering though!
