A few months back there was a guy selling a Buck Rogers on CL, add said it wasn't in great condition. I emailed him shortly after he posted expressing interest in at least taking a look at the pin. Didn't hear anything back for a few weeks, then when he did email me back he wrote and I quote:
"Are you sure? It's pretty trashed. No sound. back glass is very poor. this machine was at some point left out in the sun and rain for months. It does power up though, and the play field looks half decent"
I figured, what the hell he is only a mile from my house so I said yeah I was still interested in at least having a look at it. And I sent that response two minutes after he emailed, each time I emailed I included my phone number and said I am just down the street and to call and I would come by. Well two months has passed since I sent that last email and the guy called me last night and said that if I wanted to check it out to give him a call and I could come by.
Based on his description should I even bother? His original ad was asking for $100, I figured I would take a look and see just how bad it was and make my offer based on that. From what I have seen it doesn't seem like these typically go for big bucks so it probably isn't even worth it.
What does everyone think?
