The game is 100% complete and original. I've asked for pics, but have yet to receive any. I've only been told that "It's in pretty nice shape."

I've dealt with the seller a few times before and believe him about the condition, although, I'd still like to see some pics before committing to a purchase.

Oh yeah...extra cost factor: For pick-up, it's a 5-hour round trip for me.
 
Heck, that Boise one is pretty tempting to me. Probably should have picked it up when I was there a few weeks ago. No time for another trip out there right now though. :(
 
UPDATE: Asking price is $350

The response to my request for pics: "You know what a Phoenix looks like don't you?"


I've done A LOT of business with this particular seller and have always been on good terms with him, so I don't know if he was just trying to be funny or was trying to be an ass. (There were no emoticons or anything to go along with his response, so it kinds seems like the latter -- although I don't why he'd want to be a dick to me.)

:(

My response would be:

Yes, but I don't know what THAT Phoenix looks like. I need side pix and a pic of the front please. Thank you.

That's top dollar for that game. I would not drive that long to get it sight unseen. That guy is lame. I would have responded with yeah and you know what $350 looks like when it stays in my pocket.

I paid that much for mine and it's in pretty nice condition. Still it needed a marquee and overlay so now I have a $425 Phoenix! :eek: I really like that game though so I didn't care. Get pictures, that cabinet is susceptible to water damage the marquee is always flaking. I would definitely say forget it without pics.

That's pretty much how I did reply:

Of course I know what a Phoenix looks like. I just don't know what your Phoenix looks like. ;-)

I just wanted to have a look at it before I committed to spending $350 for the game, $40+ for gas, a day's worth of time, and going through the hassle of trying borrow a truck. Just didn't want to buy blind if I didn't have to.

I've yet to hear back from him.

This is how I'm feeling. Phoenix has always been on my short list and I don't have too much trouble paying that kind of money for one...but it'll have to be pretty damn nice. (Hence the need for pics.)

Yeah, I expected to get this game on the cheap but every cheap one I found was trash. It's hard to find one in actual nice condition so when I finally found one I bit the bullet.
 
Yay, I got some pics. And brothers & sisters, it looks pretty damn nice.

This is the first Phoenix I've ever seen locally that isn't ragged out. I have no problem with the asking price at all.

(Now to get some transportation...)

That's what I want mine to look like when I get done restoring it. It won't because of a chunk out of one side at the back, but as near to that as I can get it.:004_ssmile:
