This CL score took place back in May. There was a post for a tag sale in Springfield, Ma. In that post they mentioned that they had arcade games. I responded to the post asking what the games were called.
Well I heard nothing for about a week and a half. I then got a reply to my email. At first I thought the tag sale was over but then realized that it was going to take place in the upcoming weekend. The seller said that they had 3 games. Two were Neo Geo's. One worked and one didn't. The third game the seller said was Dragon's Lair II which the seller said also did not work. I wasn't really interested in the Neo Geo's but like anyone would be I was interested in the Dragon's Lair II.
So I asked what he wanted for the games. He said they came out of a youth center and wanted $100 for the non working Neo Geo and $200 for the working one. He then said he wanted $100 for the non working Dragon's Lair II. I'm thinking HOLY SHIT $100!!! I told him I was 2 hours away and would he hold it for me and I'll come out first thing the day of the tag sale to get it. Lucky for me he said he would. So I headed out the morning of the sale and picked it up paid the guy thanked him and got out of there! I put it in my climate controlled storage unit and basically forgot about it.
Fast forward to Tuesday where I pulled it out into the hallway of my climate controlled storage unit. I was actually going to trade it to another KLOV member with the understanding that it didn't work. I was about to load it into the van when I realized that I actually never plugged it in. Since I have power there I decided to plug it in to see what if anything would happen. I could not believe it when I turned it on and it fired right up. I'm like HOLY CRAP it WORKS! I coined it up and it plays perfectly. No skipping or anything.
Needless to say I couldn't make the trade since it actually works. The fellow KLOV member understood and was happy for me.
I still don't understand why they said it didn't work. I'm not complaining. $100 for a working Dragon's Lair II is fine by me!
