I have an Asteroids in pretty damn spanky shape I am tired of looking at. I already have one damnit. I need the space more than I need the dough. I'd sell it to any KLOVian interested in keeping it in their collection for $250.00...

Come get the bastage before I say 'screw it' and yank the monitor and PCB's and shelve them and give the cab away to some 18 year old punk who'll MAME it.

Sheesh the market here is dead.

What a steal! And what a shame that you're selling it for only $250. I'd be damn tempted to part it out to:

Monitor $200+
Board $100+
Marquee $20+
Bezel $20+
Nice Cab $50+
Power Supply $30+?

Buyers market for sure.

Good luck with your sale
 
That Asterioids looks real, real nice. Especially the CP, very clean! Don't part it out! Nooooooo!
 
I'd say closer to $500 on CL, I'm sure $250 is the "Cheap ass KLOV'er" price.


Dude...this has been sitting on CL for MONTHS at $375... not ONE PERSON has come to even look at it. Not one. I've had a couple "questions" but no one serious. Your delusional if you think this would go for $500 (around here)...

:D
 
My patience is running thin. I am "just about" ready to shelve the monitor (could always use the extra as I have an Asteroids and a BZ in the personal collection), then part out the rest. The only thing keeping me from doing it is my desire to keep it whole and intact, but that desire is waning... and fast.

I'll likely put it up on CL for $275.00 tonight...and if it's not sold by next weekend I'll have parts for people who want them. The cab will be given away and I'll just call it a day. I hate to do it, but I have my limit. The market here is absolute SHIT (which is great for buying, but sucks for selling). ...and it seems to be getting worse.

Another example: I cant sell a gutted converted Defender cab for $25.00... SOLID SHAPE... not even TWENTY FIVE BUCKS. That'll go up for free shortly as well (after i yank the marquee, coin door, transformer and JAMMA harness out of it of course).

parting that Asteroids would be pretty sad, it's way too nice. What is it really hurting by sitting in your garage ? Parting because you are "tired of looking at it" , come on, really ? BW vectors are pretty easy to get parts for and repair, so doing it just to have a spare monitor isnt worth it.
 
Space Dave... space. I have 4 cabs that have to go... I have no room. It's not like I am buying to flip or part. These are the last of the "lot" buy I made. Unfortunately, I don't have a ton of space any more... it's all filled with "keepers" now. It's a bitch to work in there.

Trust me. I don't wanna do it... and it would be my VERY FIRST (aside from an already gutted/converted Galaxian cab)... so I think you're ire would be misdirected if it came down to having to do it.
 
What are the other 4 cabs? Maybe a bulk listing would help you. That game could easily go for $500 here (even with the dead market), whats so different about Boise?
 
Yeah, that is pretty nice... What are the other four games that get to live while the minty Asteroids dies?

Total population: Approximately 300,000 people...within 250 miles... or so.

Cheap bastards?

I dunno.

You tell me.

:)

Other cabs: Gutted converted Defender - Ms. Pac/Jr. Pac Multicade - and one of my "semi-Keepers" has to go... be it 1000 Mi Rally, Terminator 2, or even my Capcom Anthologies cab. After that I am completely and 100% out of space to put cabs and well... I have no idea what I will do.
