So, Friday night I had nailed down a deal with a guy in Calgary for a non-working, but decent Galaga for $300 (Fair price around here) I got up early Saturday morning all ready to make the trip and pick this badboy up. Had a cup of coffee and read my e-mails...I had one from the seller, written at 2am and titled "Mind blowing" right away I knew it couldn't be good! The e-mail stated, in short, that sometime during the night, several beers in no doubt!, he or one of his buddies realized this was machine #641 and therefore it must be worth a F*ck of alot more than I was offering. I wrote him back that #641 means nothing and that he could keep his gold plated Galaga, as I was no longer interested. I got a sheepish, hungover phonecall several hours later basically saying his wife told him to take my deal. I told him the deal was off, and the most I would now offer was $200. He wasn't too happy about that, but eventually e-mailed me that he'd take it!
I loaded up the wife and 2 kids & drove the 2 hours to his place to get it...I was greeted by a guy with a big hickey on his neck, and a grill that suggested he had recently pissed off someone with one hell of a left hook! Kind of a ghetto vibe for sure, so I got it loaded and took off asap! My wife commented that the cabinet "smelled like poor people" which cracked me up, as she doesn't usually say things like that, but I do!!!
So anyways, it is safely in my garage and ready for major surgery. The pics of the game are in his house, and the ass in the one pic is his wife's! the tired looking kids in the van are mine!
