Right place, wrong time.

Where were these games in Phoenix?
I can only imagine how many dust storms passed on them being outside…

Central to Eastern Phoenix. Roughly 16th st and Camelback based on the zoomed out map data.
 
I didn't *actually* pass with the seller. I messaged them about buying Star Wars (for the parts) and Space Duel, but by the time they replied to me they said "Someone is picking up 5 of them for $1000" (which was right after you called me). So at that point I gave up. But did reply "Tell Derek I want that Star Wars and Space Duel" 😆

Anyways, I did appreciate the phone call :)
LOL! He did tell me he had a few people tell him that I would most likely buy all of them.

I almost offered her 1500 for 5 of them when she said somone was coming for 5 for 1000 but when she confurmed it was you i was like.. meh, he probably has the space for them and doesnt have to beg his wife. Lol.



The MK2 i picked up this year in Phoenix that im restoring now was a bit like those. Outside on a covered patio and absolutely covered in dust and faded. Still worked though. Same for the cosmic alien.
 
Regardless of price... Glad to hear these are getting saved.

I say that of course all the way from the NYC metro area. So, I had no chance to grab them. LOL.

Either way, nice find!

I chatted with the person selling these quite a bit, but missed out on all of them. They'd just purchased that house and the games were on the property and they just wanted them gone. These were only a few miles from my house, too. #MEGASAD
FWIW, based on the photos, things worked out in your favor. A better deal awaits you my friend.

Well... We don't know who JT is yet. He got the lion's share of this DotC.

Yeah, once I found out Derek was on his way, I just gave up. She tried to get me to put in a higher offer. I thought to myself but didn't actually tell her, "You've lost the only two worth fighting for already!"
 
A fucking Blaster Duramold in the wild? That's gotta be one of the best authentic finds in a long time.

I do find it odd that this person apparently didn't know much about games, but somehow knew the Blaster was 'very rare', and then listed it for $200.

And it was in WORKING condition, with some graphics glitches. The dude that bought it for $200 already fixed the graphics issues. Lucky guy! :)
