!!!! Yes, this was listed on CL for $6500. Luckily the guy was a decent guy and I managed to get it at a good price. It includes a 25" amplifone and its fully working!

Here is the listing:

You talked a craigslist seller down from $6500 to a reasonable price?!? :eek:

Hey, next time I'm buying a new car, you wanna give me a hand with the negotiations? :D

CleverlyJ, I already have one in my collection. Gonna piece together the best of the 2 and sell/trade the other. My personal game has the Empire Strikes Back/SW kit in it.

Beautiful cab -- congrats!!

I also picked up my personal grail this weekend -- another one of these! I drove down to Des Moines for it and it sounds like we paid similar amounts. Mine also has the 25" Ampliphone with just two tiny burn-in spots, visible only when you destroy the Death Star. He found another 25" Ampliphone that he had re-built as a spare so I picked that up too. The cab artwork are also in amazing condition. I'll post pictures on another thread when I get a chance.
 
Nice pickup, I'm uber jealous. Your welcome for that little bargaining info ;) (not sure how much good it did you though lol). Are you going too fill the good people in on how you spent, or just leave it a mystery?

Lol, the secrets safe with me. I was really hoping that ad was a typo, and he meant $650. That thing would be in my basement right now...

Not this time. I want to hear how you told this cracker ass his asking price of $6500 was completely unrealistic and ridiculous. Seriously Jon you need to give a play by play on this. Quite honestly I wouldn't even consider contacting a guy asking that kind of money. To me the asking price shows the mentality of the seller. Nice pickup dude, as always you suck!
