I am curious if anyone here scored the Blue print arcade off eBay that ACAM was selling?
PM me if you know. Thanks.

i bid on the williams motorcycle cab $300
I bid on it and intentionally glad I didn't win it. I mean I wanted it at all costs. But I wasn't ready to pay $450+ in S&H from new hampshire to michigan. no way. Maybe they could have kept it then until I arrived at brofest? lol i dunno, but alas, my bid did not win the blue print game. sigh.

i was gonna bid $400 on the blueprint but i ended up buying something else instead..
more to come on that lol.
I'm within a decent driving distance and was watching that and the Wild West, but ultimately decided not to bid due to waiting on a few games to arrive from a fellow KLOV'er. Didn't want to go too crazy.

"Donated to the museum be sold on ebay"?
Those are all Funspot-owned games that have been on the floor for years.
Sad to see the Red Baron go... couldn't miss the fake marquee on the Blue Print.

Yeah I know Hudson. I have played this Blue Print game. The non original Marquee did not bother me I would have replaced it.
I was tapped out when this popped up and tried to raise enough funds for the cost of the game and the shipping.
It did not pan out. Gary Vincent told me that this game was donated to ACAM (Funspot) for the intention of auctioning it off and using the proceeds as a donation to the museum.

$455 was too low for a minty blue print (rare game too), shoulda got $800+ for that!

Yeah that is kinda what I figured, and It would have been about close to that price by the time I got it to the house for shipping expenses.
Maybe one day we will both own a Blue print game.
Thanks Gleek!
Please don't make assumptions. Those 9 games and more were on loan to us for years. Funspot NEVER owned those games.
When ACAM lost floor space to the expanded party area at Funspot, the person who owned them and others took them home instead of having us pay for offsite storage. I rented a truck to bring them back after being presented with the unique offer of placing them on Ebay as a fundraiser.

Am I the only one that thought the thread title contained a typo of the word "SCAM" ?

So you are no longer accepting game donations?

That really sucks, I was there a few weeks ago and was sad to see the ACAM area had shrunk even further.

Well, at least there's indoor mini -- that's the real reason people visit.

The winner of this game finally contacted me, and I am happy to say its someone who I have a great business relationship with. This game could make it into my collection after all. When the timing is better.
This particular person, without him realizing it, actually tried to help me raise the funds to acquire this game.
How ironic.

haha what a wonderful close-knit community we have here!
I know right? I was super excited when he emailed me!
Sorry I'm late... What happened at Fun Spot? What area had games and now doesn't??
