When you read an ad in craig list, Sometime you just got to say what?

Now here a guy trying to sell his phoenix game for 995. That is not what caught my eye.
What caught my eye was what he paid for it orginally $4400.

That game has been for sale for years.

There have been prior threads about this.

There's a sucker born every minute

I know it's a different game, but I recently bought my "Ms. PacMan/Galaga Class of 1981" reunion cocktail table, like-new condition, barely used, from a lady on eBay who originally paid $3,000 for it new just a few years ago... I paid her $900 for it! Like I said, it's basically brand-new... I picked it up at her place of residence, and from the looks of it, she's fairly well-to-do, so I guess she didn't mind taking the loss to get rid of the machine.

A sucker? Maybe but must have really loved that game to spend 4400 for it.
I didn't know there were that kind of fans of this game.

Reminds me of the games I used to sell in the late 90's. I never sold a Phoenix for $4400 but those were definitely the days...

You only overpaid by about ~$100-200.

I communicated with somebody on this forum recently about a $2600 Super Punchout Cab that his friend sold. We have a CL ad in Sacramento for months now for a $500 SuperPunchOut cab and nobody has bought it. It always make you think...
