someone buy this quick

He is about 5 miles away from me, just no room and too many damn projects right now.
 
That exact Arkanoid was in Bellingham, WA last summer. It sat on craigslist for months. Started at $700 and steadily headed lower every time it was relisted until it got down to $250. Seller was desperately trying to unload it since he was moving and it had to go "by this weekend." The relistings continued for several more weeks after that. Price got dropped to $199 and it still didn't sell. It got relisted yet again but was back up to $250. It finally disappeared off CL and I wondered what had happened to it. I had briefly considered buying it myself (when it hit $450) and driving up to get it, but I decided I was going to hold out for an Arkanoid in a Taito cab. It looks a little too weird in a Pac-Man cab to me.

It resurfaced on eBay in California a few weeks ago for $300. (The photo is the same one that was used in all the Bellingham listings.) But again, no one wanted it. Nice to see someone finally wised up on asking price.
