So my apartment complex comes by about once a year and they spray the cabinets with pesticide to prevent bugs, and it works I guess because I have never seen one.

Anyway, I get home this afternoon an there is the note saying they came to the apartment.

Awesome! I normally would say uh-oh hope I don't get robbed now, but a DK and a MB widebody are no fun to carry up or down three flights.

Anyway I enjoy the fact that someone saw my games and thought they are awesome. Lol
 
Hahahah, that's great!

Reminds me of the time I had to have Comcast over to troubleshoot a cable issue. My router and cable modem are in the basement. Guy came to the door, show him down to the basement, he stopped and went "Whoa". Stood there for a good 10 seconds, then went and fixed what needed fixing. Offered to turn on some games for him, but he had to make his next appointment.


That note is awesome!

lol very cool,

I actually had a guy from CL come by to buy a PC off me yesterday and he nearly shit himself when he saw my MK1 and Spider-man cabs. Not sure i really wanted him to notice them as i don't want my house broken into but it was nice regardless.
 
Im a maintenance supervisor for the property that i live at,once a year i have to do a physical inspection of each unit. I have been here 12 years and have yet to come across another game inside a unit beside's my own. Do you know the maint. guy? I know everyone here (224 unit's) and i know who i can talk to like that and who i can't.
 
Awesome. You should post that sucker on the back or side of one of your games, with all the FBI and state inspection tags. It's a keeper!

No idea who it was. It was someone from the pest management company that left the note. I'm guessing he could tell I was a young guy from all the computers tvs and video games, so he felt he could leave a note like that. Haha
 
We pay a company to fertilize our lawn each summer and one day I had left the garage door up. I had been working on a few games and had a few newly restored games sitting in there, and I guess he took notice. The comments said, "I wish you were home so I could check out those games!"

My wife was there, but he didn't want to pressure her as he figured they were probably my little toys.

If I'm not selling a game or a car, I will never bring a CL person here to buy something. I usually meet them at the Starbucks up the corner.

Cool note though!

As an appliance technician, I have gone into hundreds of homes in the line of work. There are just a handful of times I have seen games in a home. One lady had Asteroids, Space Invaders and Space Zap. I later took home the SI. One guy had a Megatouch but didn't want to talk about it. Another had a Twister pin and offered to let me play but I didn't have time. One lady had a Speed Rumbler in a Pac cab that belonged to her husband. Another lady had a Hollywood Heat pin in the basement. There are a couple others but I don't remember what they were. Since I have a job to do, I usually try to get the work done as quickly as possible. I try to read the person to see if they seem willing to talk about the game or whatever it is they have. Sometimes you get lucky.

As for people who come into our house, most don't seem to care. Its usually service people that are suprised. The people who know me and the wife but have not previously been here usually aren't surprised at all.
 
I had a crack in my basement foundation repaired this spring, and got a good price on it plus an extra little fix on a rod hole beside the crack. The guy was amazed at my games, was 10 years older than me and still "Wow, you can own those things!?" came out of his mouth.

Cash job that was over $100 off, and we played some pinball while he waited for the concrete to cure long enough to inject the stuff behind it in the crack.

Told me his wife probably wouldn't approve when I told him he could find a working EM for only a few hundred, he seemed to like my EMs more than the others.
