(not mine!)

Just thought this was cool - never see these come up for sale. I can only recall encountering one of these dual VS cabs "in the wild" back in the 80's. I saw a derelict one in a warehouse about ten years ago.

1980' s Vintage Nitendo arcade game, comes with extra games and signs never installed. The monitors do not come up very well, so it does need work. Not used much and has been in storage for years. $500.00

I really don't need another game in my collection, but this one's pretty cool. I'll shoot the seller an email and see if he's willing to part with it to someone who can fix it up correctly.

Hard to tell how many total game kits there are there, but it's worth grabbing anyway. I doubt I'll be first in line, but you never know.
 
Yeah, I've often found that it's not always about being the first to respond to the ad, but being the person with the most succinct, proper, and professionally worded answer. Correct grammar and punctuation as well as being polite can go a long way towards winning yourself to the front of the line with CL sellers. I know I've given preference to responses like that in the past. It's just easier to deal with that than this:

"hey u still got? lmk lol"

God I hate lol. The best is when they feel the need to type it multiple times in a 15 'word' sentence. Are you really laughing out loud? Really? That many times in the span of 3 seconds? Interesting.

If the seller picks me, I'll let you have the topper for free.

honestly when I get home I'm gonna offer the guy $100 just for the toppers if he'll pack them up in bubble wrap and ship them to Georgia(heck I'll even give him my cell phone number and talk to him personally). That's a nice looking collection of those metal bracketed signs.

I want a PC 10 but can't see collecting the games until I have a working machine but those toppers make good display pieces.(that's why I bought a Mario 3 topper repo from oldtime toys)
 
My very first arcade game was one of those monstrosities. So heavy, so hard to move. I grew to hate it. I gladly sold it (fully working with 5 or 6 games) for $200 and helped the guy shoehorn it into the back of a Dodge Grand Caravan.
 
called the guy about the PC 10 toppers and he sound like he'd consider my offer. I can't lie so I told him what they were and aprox. what he had.(why did my dad raise me to be so honest?) He said he was representing a lady who's husband had died and she was trying to sell off his old stuff.

smalltownguy2 I hope you get the rest. each one of those boxes with vs. stuff has a complete set of roms in them from me just talking to the guy.

PS: the toppers are minty with no scratches or fading! If I get them I may sell some off here but I really like alot of them...
 
He hasn't responded. Honestly, my email was pensive at best. I really don't need to be taking on any more projects at this point. Especially moving that heavy beast. I don't need the extra cash or hassle. If he responds, I'll follow through, but if he doesn't, then I'll be fine with that too.

too bad I hope someone gets it because there's a complete vs. Duck Hunt kit there with what looks to be an NOS gun
