I had a Zaxxon I had been tinkering with. Had to put a monitor in it, had a short in the power supply wiring I had a hell of a time isolating, replaced a couple plugs, ect, all minor stuff, just time consuming. Finally got it working perfectly I needed to do some minor repair to the case (mainly just sand/paint the edges around the sideart, and replace the t molding)

Long story short, needed the room and money, so I listed it at $175 (because I hadnt finished the outside yet) Guy comes to buy it, says hes going to gut it and mame it, that the case is all he was really after, but the case isnt as good as he thought it would be. Can I come down any on the price.

I said "Sure, Ill pull the monitor and knock off $50. Another $50 for the boards and power supply, since you wont be using them either"

He paid the 175:rolleyes:
 
He was full of it. Just trying to work you down on price. Good job on your negotiating.
 
Yeah, I'd also have to assume he was only trying to devalue your game to get you to come down. If he was truly wanting a shell for MAME, he would have been super stoked for you to knock off $100 for the parts you were pulling. He'd be hard pressed to make $100 off of all of that.
 
You sold a Zaxxon for $175? That in itself is amazing. People can't hardly give them away for $50 around here. You totally screwed the buyer ;)

I wish I could find a Zaxxon fully working. I got a project Future Spy for $75 and I'm happy with that.

I wish I could come accross one for $175 too. I want to get my brother the game and hopefully get him into the addiction, But I haven't seen any in my area from casual browsing.
