This guy must be a used car salesman.

"The only problem is that the screen is burned out, but I haven't fixed it because its ALL ORIGINAL and fixing it would actually devalue it."

This is an original Castlevania arcade machine, one of, if not the most rare and searched of the Konami console video games from 1980's. This machine was made in 1987. The only problem is that the screen is burned out, but I haven't fixed it because its ALL ORIGINAL and fixing it would actually devalue it. Its an easy fix if you are a gamer, and to the collector a dream come true. When powered on, the light turns on overhead and the screen lights up grey. A low hum is also audible. This machine has been stored in a climate controlled basement since we purchased it 15 years ago. The screens has been blown for 10 years. $800.00 OBO.

Hey, he's dropped his price. When it first hit Craigslist....he had the price at $1400!....with no pictures.

Haha yeah who wants a working game when you could get one original and non-working? I'd hate to buy a game with a monitor that's had caps replaced.
 
This is like saying the car has it's original oil and I'd change it, but it would devalue the car. It really devalues the thing in question if it wasn't maintained or is broken.
 
I'm not sitting on a fortune like Busterbear, but my all original games are WAY more broken than just a monitor, so they must be worth a lot more than $800-$1400....
