Are you taunting me?

So today was kind of a success. I did as much as I could with the time I had. Huge thanks to AlphaTron for stopping by and helping out! I was exhausted.

Anyway, I put the pics here: Pics

There are a few machines on there I am not selling... and I'm too lazy to delete them out now.
 
Hey, all. Thanks for the replies. Just to let you know, I am available if you'd like to head over and look at the machines yourself. Right now there'll all crammed in the warehouse so moving them is kind of a pain. I'd like to move each one out, clean it up, take pictures and wrap them in plastic.

I've decided to sell them since it doesn't make sense for me to keep the warehouse only to have them sit here and do nothing. The parties were a lot of fun but it's time for me to move on with my life. Believe me, I'd rather work on them more than sell them but I need room in the warehouse to do that.

Oh, just FYI... the Pacman cabinet is in terrible shape. I wanted to sand it down and repaint but that never happened. :( Oh, same goes for the Ms. Pacman... I have another but my girlfriend would strangle me if I sold it.

Is the Ms Pac-Man working and is it the speed hack version?
 
PM about Zaxxon incoming...

Dammit, Huie.
 
Might have found you a Phoenix buyer for the Centipede as well...
 
tom11011 left me lovely feedback on my profile. How nice of him. Claims I 'Backed out of sale and sold to another person'

There was no money exchanged so I absolutely have no obligation to him at all. They're my machines and I'll do as I please with them and sell them to whomever I'd like. I've been nothing but respectful to him and this only shows the type of character that we have here.
 
I don't know either of you, but I know that from just reading this thread, I am wondering how old Tom is. It kind of reminds me of my teenage daughter when she swears I told her she could do something because I said I would think about it. Saying "I'll put myself down for Donkey Kong" does not make it a done deal. :D
 
If you have to know, A.) I am 47. B.) There were private messages as well.

I do not think I will file suit on Juan, but we had a meeting of the minds, a contract.

Oh Geez. We do live in a litigious country don't we? I guess we all need to get a legal disclaimer written up and put into our signatures that says that until money is exchanged, we can back out at any time for any reason.
 
I would love to see someone spend $10k to retain a lawyer to get absolutely no where with this. Seriously, paying $850 for a DK and then shipping it to Florida sounds rediculous! Your ahead of the game for not buying it. There's no shortage of DK's, they pop up for sale almost daily.
 
Where else would it be?

Tom,

I'm going to offer you some advice: move on. I understand you are frustrated but Donkey Kong is one of the most common games out there and shipping it from CA probably isn't worth it. More importantly other sellers on here will read this thread and if they sense you are difficult (or overly bitter) they may hesitate to sell you their game.

Setting aside the fact that you had a deal that may have blown up for reasons out of your control and setting aside who is at fault and whether you were wronged — I would say the best thing you can do is move on and grab the next one. It is a pretty common game and others will come your way.
 
Sure. If that's what you'd prefer.

Can I assume you will publicly make your backing out of the deal known in the for sale thread?

A member here called colonelsnow messaged me says he is going to buy a game from you, we are near each other and would split the shipping. Whether he buys or not I am still in.

He mentioned you are getting some pics for him, can you grab some of the DK if possible as well?

Ok good. Any stairs or anything I would need to tell Beltmann about? First floor?

Interested in the donkey kong, can you send some pics? If it is easier, just text them to me XXX-XXX-XXXX tomorrow, going to bed. I'm in Tampa.

Hi, Tom. The machine is real nice but can use some touch up on the cabinet. I have new side art and t-molding for it as well. I'll try to get pics as soon as possible. Thanks!

Sounds good, I'll probably buy it, not looking for perfect but not looking for a major project either. If it works, has light wear and tear for 30 years old, no water or termite damage I'll be good.

Tom

Oh, yeah. It's all good. I bought an original marquee light for it so it all original parts. It's a good machine.

Nope. It's at a warehouse with easy access.

Oh, boy. Tom. I'm sorry but I already promised someone a while ago I'd sell that DK to him. :( I thought he didn't want it until he mentioned it to me today. I feel like an ass.


Can anyone spot where I said I agreed to his offer?
