The problem is currently I can barely get in to play my pins... and the Punch Out I just complete has no "home" as of yet... and wont until I sell the 4th cab.
I'll likely list it as $250... no bullshit... serious responders only... come get it.

You have a lot more than 4 games listed on CL so i'm not sure why you are calling them keepers. You keep bringing home games and then complain about no space. And if you decide to part it, it's not because you have to , it's because you choose to. No one ever died from having one too many games in their garage.
OP
OP
Yeah, but the other games I have listed on CL are at absurdly high prices. If I got an offer at those prices, I'd sell (to make room for another and to make $$ for my kid). Bottom line is that this gets sold by next weekend or it gets parted... and if you look disapprovingly at me for doing it, so be it... I'll live (as will you). There are more important things in life than worrying whether I'll piss Arc off or not (sorry Dave...).
Oh, BTW... you can save it... come pick `er up.

Btw, you might have better luck selling it if you put a little more positive spin on it instead of all the negativity in your ad. " Great Christmas present" " One of the all time classics" etc etc.

I've tried. I'm done with "spin". Take it or leave it. I don't really care at this point. If you've seen my prior posts since July on this you'd have seen I've tried it all. This game is just not loved by those in the Treasure Valley for whatever reason. Fridays "BLACK FRIDAY" sale generated 4 emails... all asking about "other games I may have"... which is fine, but doesn't sell the Asteroids.
95% of craigslisters around here are full of shit anyway.

I have to agree. I have picked up 5 asteroids in the last year, and still have one extra in my garage. That machine is way to nice to part. Someone will take it. Try just a little longer to keep it complete. I will ask around up here maybe someone will want it. I have to come down and pick up a Star Trek from my dads garage sometime. Does it have the 801 or 802 monitor?

There have been asteroids for the same around here that don't sell.
Should be a good time though - someone will want one for christmas, you would think. I don't buy games this time of year - no deals to be had. You can usually get better dollar for games at this time.

if it doesn't sell, you can drop it at my house. I will keep it listed on CL for $300 and when it sells, i will give you 250 and keep 50 for my trouble.
Sounds good. Its accually my favorite Arcade Machine. I could play all night on on quarter. Asteroids is the machine that got me into collecting. Im going to ask around up here, maybe someone will want it. Problem is I have already sold most of my friends one

(btw folks... if you've sort of got the feeling I am a little more than "done" with this situation, you'd be right. I'm in one of those "moods" today for whatever reason (I call it ex-stoner syndrome...). It may pass... it may not. I simply need my garage space back. I have someone who's been stringing me along on this multicade as well.. if she doesn't cough up the dough and right quick, I may do something drastic with it as well.) I'm getting tired of having to move crap to get to other crap in my garage.
Perhaps my mood will be better tomorrow and I'll reconsider. Who knows. For today, I certainly have the "screw it" attitude...

You know something... that would be a viable option, except for the fact that I can't deliver. My arcade hauler (truck) is down with a severe fluid leak... and it's been too damn cold to get under the bastard to determine if it's tranny, power steering, or brake fluid.

Lemme know... I make some pretty kickass Spaghetti... (i'm actually on my way out the door right now to go shopping...)
I am in the same boat with my Space Duel. Same situation, same outlook, same impending doom. Good luck with your sale!

Bah... this is probably 80% my mood talking. I've got a nose cold I've been fighting since the day before Thanksgiving... blah blah blah...
