Here is the craigslist ad...
"We have 4 Arcade games for sale they all have minor damage but think they could be great for some one who knows how to fix them up.
Games:
World Series Baseball (buttons broken)
Popeye (screen went out)
Donkey Kong (screen went out)
Bowling
We will take what ever you can offer us money goes to help our teen ministry. Any interested buyer must be able to move them out of our basement and transport them."
I took a chance and threw an offer to the guy 30 minutes after he posted this, thinking someone was probably on the way to get them already. Low and behold he e-mailed me back that night and said he would accept my offer and I could come get them. Games are in much better shape than I would have thought. I liked how he said that the screens went out on the Nintendo games as that kept the price down. I get there and try them and they played just fine. Had to bring 3 of them up a staircase with a 90 degree turn, but that was the worst part of it by far. Nintendo games are original too, by the quick look I gave the Nintendo tags on the back of the games. Hopefully there are some other goodies inside them as he didn't have most of the keys either.
The games are...
Donkey Kong (Great shape, wood base intact. Totally complete minus sideart.)
Popeye (Great shape, wood base missing. Other than that, just missing sideart.)
Krazy Bowl (Good shape in a super solid Dynamo cut corner cabinet. Was a Double Dragon II as the painted over sideart is still there.)
World Series Baseball: The Season (Decent shape in a Tempest cabinet. Start buttons missing, but other controls solid.)
Pretty happy with the pickup. Games will probably be sold to fund other purchases, so if anyone needs anything or is interested in any game, let me know.
