So I got home from work tonight and my wife and I went for a walk. About 10 minutes into the walk I feel my phone vibrate and see that a guy is selling an Asteroids Machine for $200.00 and he also has a Space Invades that he is selling for $200.00 as well, however if you buy both the price is $300 for the pair. The ad says that the Asteroids is not working, however the Space Invaders is fine. The pics are not the clearest either.

I decide that the price is right to take a chance and make the 70 mile drive.

When I arrive I go inside the guys house and notice that both machines are on and working..

The Asteroids machine is in great shape (Better than the one I have right now), plus is has a Owl Eye coin door !!!...(My first)..

I load them up in my truck and drive them home..

The Asteroids works great, the Space Invaders turns on and plays however there is no sound....

A good night.

Chris

nice pickup! that space invaders bezel is really clean. so, being that the asteroids was listed non working and was working, was the guy cool about it as far as the price went?

Yeah, he was very cool about it...

It was a little weird. The city I drove to is not that great. The people told me to just back my truck up onto their front yard (All dirt and weeds)..

I think maybe the $300.00 went to feed their hobby/habit...

The Asteroids cabinet is in much better shape than my current one. I am going to swap some parts this weekend and sell the other one (Both work great)....

Not sure what I am going to do with the Space Invaders yet.. There is no sound, however after doing a little research it appears that a simple diode replacement may fix that.

What phone setting setting auto alerts you to cool games for sale?

There is a great app for Android Phones called craigsnotifica

You enter the areas you care about and key words and it checks every 5 minutes for new posts and sends an alert.....

Very cool... Scored many a good deals this way...

I found one for iphone. Craigs pro.

My numbner one problem with craigslist is the inability to filter out crap.

Why in the name of all that is holy did Microsoft have to call it the x box 360 ARCADE?

On the android app you can enter the keyword as arcade -xbox

and it will filter out any listing with arcade and xbox..

Try it and see if it works...

My problem right now is that a band called Arcade Fire is in town and they keep showing up..
