Okay, so I haven't been collecting that long but someone I know has.
Well anyway, surprisingly even though I didn't get into bed until after 2 am early this morning due to driving over 17 hours solo to pick up two Candy Cabs in BFE, Iowa I actually woke up early (8:30ish).
I decided to check Craigslist as I am a maniac. I came upon a craigslist ad for a Ms Pac and a DK Jr. I could tell both of them were pretty beat up but the price was good. Though, I was only interested in the Ms Pac.
I did some haggling via texts and within about 30-40 mins I was on the road for another pickup.The actual worst part was the directions she gave me were to a bar right next to a very large orthodox church. I could throw a beer bottle from the bar and hit the church. Everyone in the bar thought I was crazy and I thought I was led on a wild goose chase or about to be mugged. Then I got a text saying she was outside with the game.
It paid off as I scored a Ms Pac upright for $200. I don't think I did that bad really. She's pretty beat up. There's major fading to the Marquee, some fading to the right side, the CPO is torn, and worst of all, the bottom was about to fall out. Never the less she was 100% working.
Even better, she's not problem anymore. Tbbk has apparently been collecting for 12 years and has been unable to acquire a Ms Pac or a Pac man. Seeing as my first machine was a Ms Pac mini (which I prefer to the upright) I let this one go for a 100% working dedicated Naughty Boy, an extra Naughty Boy boardset, a 100% Scramble boardset (for a Pop flamer I'm deconverting back to Scramble), and a couple transformers I needed desperately.
Enough talk, here she is:
