Parting

I believe i've tried the buy em whole approach and whats funny is that the one who whines the most never steps up to the plate other than to bitch.
I feel the same way. I part less games than I sell whole by far. I try to sell them all whole but if no one steps up to buy them, What you going to do. Other games need parts. It is just the natural order of things. I has been going on for 100s of years in every hobby. How can you bring a game back to life when there is no parts available for it?

I just went down to Reno with Hatrick and we picked up a Defender, Tempest, and Battlezone. I lost track of how many games i saved last year. So your accusation that the people that whine the most never step up is wrong. I think it's the other way around. The guys that claim to try and sell them whole are the guys that just part games without even trying to sell them. Nice try...

yes drew is getting the cab to bring one back to life, and various other parts are going cross country to bring 4 other asteroids back to life as mentioned. (please keep the applause down)
and i would like to mention i have a whole garage full of games anyone want to buy em before i part out more of em?
seems i have posted this before, and alas various klover's claim they dont want games parted but yet no one ever buys them for wholesale before the parting begins..

Don't flatter yourself. There are plenty of parts flying around without having to buy from guys lke you and Chris. If people would stop being lazy and fix stuff or get it fixed they wouldn't need to buy all these parts. What did you really ship that made that big of a difference ? An AR board ? A power brick ? Lol...

Wasnt on craigslist. Besides, where theres one, theres more. Oh! and if youd like, you can have my old Asteroids cab to restore. Just come on down and get it. Twenty bucks. Save it from being Multi'ed! :)

You really seem offended here Dave and if you look back through this post, i never called you out specifically. But don't forget the many opportunities you were given to save the arcades that waited on death row in my garage and you never even once stepped up to do it. For somebody that does nothing but bitch and complain when someone parts a game, distance from my place to yours and whatever it costs should never be an obstacle. Don't give yourself too much credit here big man, you may fix and restore a game here and there but your overall contribution is really quite trivial, unless whining justifies high praise. Nice try!

BTW Dave, this might be a good time to revamp your "do not trade with" list. Last time i checked there were hundreds of posts of parts for sale which constitutes an arcade preservation violation in your book. People aren't pulling parts outta their ass so where are they all coming from? By the time you add everybody to your list, there should be very little to no reason at all for you to stick around since all you wanna do is shit on everybody that parts a game and the vast majority of us won't meet your criteria. All i ask of you at this point is to lay off the snide comments about how i conduct my business and you won't ever see me call you a whiney bitch again! I think i've contributed plenty over the years and been behind many projects that you don't even know about. I've also given away plenty of parts, done lots of free repairs, logged thousands of hours on the phone helping people and fronted thousands of dollars for several projects that many people here are benefiting from.

Once again, if you've got a problem with me, send a pm with your phone number and i'll make sure my cellphone is charged up before i call. When it's all over we may have to agree to disagree but i'll still buy you a beer at CAX this year and you'll see i'm not the hardcore, hacking asshole you make me out to be.

If r5g wants to scrap a game, who gives a shit, at least he's not scrapping yours!
