Never hurts to offer... 2nd great score in a month!

So, I've been on KLOV for awhile and haven't really posted about any of my scores or CL finds.

3 weeks ago, I found someone on one of those Facebook "Shopping and swapping" groups local to me. The guy had a WWF Royal Rumble pinball with a non working DMD, a Street Fighter 2 in a Dynamo cab, and a Rowe Jukebox that needs some work. I offered him $200 for the lot (yes, a True KLOV offer!) and since I was the only one to offer, he took my offer!
So, yes, I got those.

At the same time, in my rush of excitement, I went looking on CL (as usual) and found a Virtua Cop 2 that was 3 hours away, it "needed a player 2 gun", so I offered $100.
Well, she called me this morning and told me, "If you want this game come get it ASAP, for $100".

I just got home, wiped it down a little bit, and after removing the screws in the non working gun, I see that.. surprise... It wasn't even hooked up inside! I guess somehow the harness had worked itself loose. Either way, the cabinet is a 6/10 because it could use a new front overlay (horribly faded) and the side art is scratched. Either way, for a $100 score, I'm happy!

Anyone know where I can get a new front Vinyl for VC2?

I might add that this is finally some much needed good luck after the frustration of a Pentranic 1019 chassis I ordered from ALS and it's STILL not right for my Ms. Pacman setup! :)
maybe the spell is broken lol.
 
Nice score...
I completely agree about the offer thing...

There was a Track and Field in my neck of the woods for what started at $500 about 5-6 months ago. It was on CL..then Ebay for a bit..then back to CL

Game played fine..side art almost completely white..CPO rough.

I made the guy a 'KLOV' offer and almost 4 months later (last week)I got the same email is you...

"come get this thing out of my garage if ya still want i"..so I did =)
 
I scored at House of the Dead and House of the Dead 2 like that. They were both working but guns on both games was not responding.I bought them for like $250 a piece got them home,opened the games like you and found out that the harnesses in the guns were not hooked up.So now I have a 2 perfectly working machines.Since you are in GA I scored them out of the Valdosta area. And also PM sent your way about something.
 
PM'ed everyone. Valdosta is 45 minutes away from me.. lol
