Maybe I've slowed down because of my hectic schedule but it seems I just don't see certain games pop up as much on ebay and the other usual places..I guess I'm partial to some of the pac titles and odd ball stuff which you don't see too often anyway...but lately just in browsing haven't seen any

Dedicated Jr Pacs...I had three at one time..now just the one in my collection.

Pacland...Seems to be hard one to find especially with sideart...

Burgertime...last one I saw was converted at local auction.....needed lots of work..

Boxing Bugs...used to see at least see a part or two pop up..but nothing...glad I scored the HUO in Ohio..earlier this year....:D

Just a few of my usual searches coming up empty...I don't know why I look because I have all these titles in very nice condition..guess its still the thrill of the hunt...

Your thoughts...
 
yeah..I haven't either but I have seen those pop up from private sellers a lot more..funny what pops up when economy went down the shitter...
I can attest to Burgertime not popping up often. I've been looking for years now and nothing remotely local is for sale.
 
i think more classic games have made their way into permanent private collections, a lot of warehouses have been emptied and junk machines parted out, and the much higher costs of shipping and sales have taken a lot of complete cabinets off of eBay.

I hope to have mine for sale within a couple weeks if anyone is interested. Fully working.
 
Lots of games haven't popped up for a while. Personally I think it's because the value of these games are down. Why sell them now when they won't command much money? Might as well hold on to them. For the most part all I see for sale these days are junk or over priced.
 
I think most of those games have come up for sale around here recently.

If anything, there are too many games for sale here.
 
I haven't seen a dedicated Berzerk in quite a while... they never have been truly common, though, I suppose.
 
Ive never seen much talk about Anteater or Zoo Keeper. They actually look like really fun games.
 
I haven't seen a Mortal kombat in a long time. . . . Wait , , , never mind. . . . those dam things are everywhere. . . .
 
I would like to find a good Red Baron but even back in the day I don't think I ever seen more that 2 in the local arcades and I haven't seen one for sale here in SE Virginia sense I have been collecting and that's been a wile. I would like to find a Gyruss with good side art too but then theirs the problem of where to put them. Guess I would have to get rid of something. :eek:
 
unless it's a pac/ms pac, DK, centipede, asteroids, or galaga, you probably won't see it around here that often. everything else comes up sparingly and randomly every few weeks.
