Clint Eastwood/Fritz Manes sale - Gravitar/Star Wars/ Firefox U/R - California

If I lived in Cali. I would have been there with a fistful of dollars.
Good deals. I'm surprised - surprised at the asking prices and that they weren't sold immediately. :cool:

What was the Star Wars price?
 
Hey. I went to this estate sale. Picked up the Star Wars. It's easily the nicest one I've ever seen. There are 10 plays on the counter. Original manual etc. still in the plastic, inside the coin box, never opened. All serial numbers match. Original everything, untouched.

This is a HUO cabinet, and I'm pretty sure it was basically never used. Kept in an air-conditioned room for 40 years... (I'm guessing Atari gave it to Eastwood, along with the Gravitar, at the same time they gave him the Firefox).

The Star Wars currently plays blind. (Yes. It's has the red HV transformer.)

They were asking 1200 for the Gravitar, which was also one of the nicest I've seen. It had picture and sound, played great. I didn't have the room for it. (Added pics in case anyone cares).

I didn't spend much time with the Firefox. They had a Lot of "goodies" that came with it. (Firefox book, other stuff they thought "went along" with it.) I think they were asking 2200.

If anyone is interested in the Gravitar or Firefox, I'd contract them ASAP. The sale ended today, and I don't think either had sold. (At least they hadn't as of this morning at 10am).

Moving the Star Wars out was an ordeal. We ended up having to take the doors (2 of them) off the room the game was in just to get it out. (Got it home without a scratch.) Gravitar was in that same room.

Now I just need someone in Los Angeles that works on Amplifones -- any suggestions welcome!
I have an eye for this stuff…congrats on getting SW..

$1500 (originally 3k, but talked them down after monitor wouldn't show a picture.)

Deal of the day? Deal of the year? Deal of a lifetime.

Congratulations. Let me be the first to get in line if you ever decide to part with it. I'll give you a cool $1501 for it, since you went through the trouble of picking it up. ;)

Also, happy to assist with any help on getting the monitor back online. I got 2 Tempests up and running recently with minimal headaches.
 
Gravitar is long gone. Damn that was tempting but I'd have the hassle of having to get rid of a game to make room, otherwise would've jumped on that…

Great deal for some lucky person!

Firefox still available as of Sunday 930a
 
Sale was supposed to end yesterday. How is that Firefox not picked up? If I wasn't 17 hours away, dealing with a blown transmission on my car, and having to go to work tomorrow at 8am I'd be all over it. At this point, knowing they are open to negotiation, I'd offer $1,500 and see if they bite.
 
Insane. If a regular good condition Firefox is worth 2000. Then a home use only one has to be worth a 2500. And to have the only one that was owned by Clint Eastwood has to be another premium on top of that. Id even say you could double it if the provenance is all there (and it sounds like it is).
