I've lost "it". "It" being "the edge". At one time I'd have been all over this like stink on poo... but today? Not even an inkling of interest.

Yeah, a couple years ago I would have considered that as well. Although I don't think I've ever paid more than $250 for any video game. But I would have gone over and dickered on a deal like that. Not any more. It's gotta be in the $150 range for an ultra classic like that. And usually in the $50 range for anything else for me.
 
I dont know about that, 3bills seems a little high for something that looks like it was painted black, may even be a converted PAc
so alot of work and money either way to get up to most collector gameroom standards
MsPs arnt rare and finding a better one wouldnt be that difficult if it was really desired.
 
You haven't lost anything. I wouldn't pay more than $100 for that.
 
I ain't saying I'd have paid the $300... but i'd have at least tried to get it for $100...

:D
 
It's just part of being a seasoned collector. You start to get standards. That's it! New thread time: You might be a seasoned collector if....
 
In my neck of the woods, you could not even react fast enough to get a chance to see it. It would be gone 3 minutes after the ad was posted.
 
Yeah, I don't really bother anymore...

All the games that I didn't bother with just ended up at JeffF's house. I wonder if he got the non working puckman upright for $50.
 
I have passed on many games in similar condition for $50-150. Just not interested in turning junk around at this point. Not enough time or interest to bother with it.
