You guessed it, the EDOT's going up for sale!

The thread that asked "what 8 games would you choose?" planted the seed.........the realization that EDOT was not in my "elite 8" fertilized that seed...........the PM's and e-mails in response to my "edot value?" thread was like putting goddam Miracle Grow on that newly sprouted seed. Now, the seed has taken root.

So, to help finance the search for my personal grails, the EDOT goes.

Not sure if E-bay's the way to go here? I'm sort of leaning towards e-mailing everyone on the VAPS "wanted" list, so that everyone gets a crack at it. I'd certainly entertain any offers from the folks at KLOV and VAPS before I list it in a few days. I don't wanna seem greedy, but I would like to get whatever I can out of the game............if you came across a Computer Space would you guys sell it to a collector here for a "friendly price", or would you try to get top dollar? It not like it's a common game, I'd hate to sell it on the cheap and then later regret my decision. At one time I considered this one a grail like many of you, up until a few days ago I never even considered letting it go.....Damn whoever started that thread...Damn them! :)

Normally I'd just set a price like normal KLOV etiquette dictates, but being as this game is rarity and is sought after by many, I figured I'd give a heads up here before I go to E-Bay with it...........who knows, maybe someone has a some of my grails and will make me a trade/cash offer I can't refuse . I'd prefer it to go down that way, if not, off to E-Bay it goes.....hope no-one takes offense.

Pics will be forthcoming shortly, as well as an update of the condition, hopefully I'll get her back up and running tomorrow......

Sneak peak pic included......I know it's not much, all I could find.....lost my cel with all the good pics from my last get together.

Let the games begin!!!!

Had a couple of questions about what I'd like to get out of it, here's what I replied to the last one:

I've had a couple two offers over $2500 already, sight unseen, as it sits. One from KLOV....the other offer was from a VAPS person, don't think they even frequent this site, which makes me wonder...... It's the first offer, I've had out of the blue like that, though it came a day after I posted an EDOT thread so could have been a friend of a KLOV'er fishing.......That was before I even posted it for sale, so we'll see what offers come in............I'd really prefer some kind of trade/cash combo, the whole point of selling is to get a couple of my grails, so high offer won't neccesarily be the one I take.

hope that helps, thanks for the interest.

posted this on RGVAC a minute ago, thought I'd just copy and paste it to this thread to give an idea of the condition until I can get the pics up:

Putting my EDOT up for sale..........descent shape, some scuffs on the sideart and one small hole on the right front side(probably from a forklift blade poking it by the looks of it, abou1"x3", nothing major), Needs new floor art and the joystick could use replaced....it works but has a small chunk broke off, again nothing too horrible, doesn't effect gameplay, just cosmetic. Monitor is fine as well as all art inside the bezel. Could use a new CP overlay. Backglass is original and fully intact. Was fully working awhile back, haven't moved it or played it since, but last time I plugged it in all I got was a white screen and a thrum from the speakers. Hopefully, I get her going tomorrow, shouldn't be anything major, as I said, it hasn't been moved since the last time I had it going.

All in all the game is solid, not minty by any means, but certainly a candidate for restoration to it's former glory. If your reading this you probably know that this game is highly sought after by collectors..........so save the lowball offers, this game is for the big boys.

Started a thread on KLOV also, fell free to check it out.......only one pic on there right now, I'll be taking some good pics tomorrow. Should be on E-Bay by Wednesday.......assuming someone hasn't made an offer I can't refuse by then.
 
if youve had offers already over 2500, why would you put this on ebay by wednesday?? just wondering!


nice edot by the way... i have the upright, freakin love DOT id never sell mine... anyways id love to have the EDOT but i have no room for it :(
 
If I was trying to sell something like this I would post alot of pictures, not just one far away snap of the back.
 
Long thought out answer? pfft.....whatever man, I was just letting people know what led me to list the game and give a heads up to KLOV first. Maybe I shoulda just said EDOT going up for sale and been done with it. Sorry I insulted you.../rolls eyes

Wasn't my intention to starting a bidding war here, it was to try and get a couple of my grails in trade(maybe games/cash), not just cash in............that's why I posted here before auctioning it off, because you guys have games, pretty straight forward really.............I posted the $2500 response because I started getting the "what's the lowest you'd take" questions. Figured it would be a good base for whomever might wanna trade games/cash. My thinking was I have someone might say "I have "X, Y and Z worth roughly that, wanna trade?"

I guess you saw right through my BS though....darn.

I just popped up here to check my PM's...going back downstairs to continue working on the game, my girfriend is bringing her digital camera home from work this evening, she'll download as soon as she gets back to work Tuesday morning, I'll post them here as soon as I get them.....pardon me for posting a "teaser" thread.

to be honest I'd rather not E-Bay it, I want my grails, not loot.......that clear enough?

Actually I said "nice thought out" but this was even better.

As a tip, you could have just said $2500 firm and saved yourself alot of typing.
 
what part of "I'm looking for a trade" don't you get? Seriously, don't think I could have stated it ANY more clearly in my posts.

I want trades!
I want trades!

WTF?

Only going to E-bay as a last resort.......in fact, I'm seriously debating whether or not do that now. Just today I got a response to a game I sold on E-bay from someone that frequents this site, with a "I accidentally bought this", "could I cancel".......now I have the stuck relisting if I agree......even though the item was bought "Buy-it-Now" 1 day from the end of auction, I had 20 some people watching.....oh did I mention it took 4 days to hear back from this person.

I also listed that game here for trade before it went on e-bay.......no takers, so I listed it. regretting it already
 
We all know where sales like these go when the seller has to repeat "rare" and "sought after" and "big boys" and "I already had a huge offer" etc etc then post one shitty picture and tell you about all the other people who will kill you to get this.

I didn't buy the juicer or the shamwow, either.

One more thing......I put those used terms like "rare" and "sought after" because that is what it is.........I said "big boys" to dissuade the spammers and those not serious about buying, so they don't waste my time.........."I already had a huge offer" I already addressed in a previous post.

Why do I picture a little kid stomping up and down in a tantrum while saying that? :D

But I thought your title says "Edot for sale!!!!"

Look....I know most of you guys are not familiar with me, but I am familiar with KLOV, I've been here since '06. For the most part my collecting experience has been limited to snatching up the occasional game and storing it or, if working putting it in my gameroom.........that's about it. I work and have been remodeling a 100 year old bank for the last 5 years and my collecting hobby is way at the back burner and has been since the start. Now that I'm nearing completion I have alot more free time to devote to the hobby, hence my recent posting. I read the forums all the time because I'm interested in the hobby and look forward to putting alot more time and effort into makeing a fun and fuctional gameroom for my friends and family. Hopefully making some friends along the way and learning more about servicing my own games...etc.

My original intent was to sell/trade off some of my lesser games and hold onto a select few(EDOT, Cheyenne, Hyper Sports and Golden tee 2k, which I'd like to upgrade).........then I realized the EDOT could be a much for realistic way for me to get my "elite 8" sooner than later.

there you go, my entire life story.....have fun dragging me through the mud.
 
Just as an FYI, a EDOT without the back went for $1500 and was a BIN on eBay a VERY short duration of time.

I bought one without the back for $800 the other day and (looks like an upright now) regardless, with the movie coming out the game is going to go up/up. Regular Trons are over $1000 now again, LOL

I'll give you a cool $1K for the EDOT you spent $800 on, that's a quick $200! :)
