sparky5693 - WOW What an awful day it could have been

I sold an arcade on Ebay(gentleman was coming from Atlanta). it was a 5 and a half hour drive. he was heading up on Saturday around noon. Also negotiated the sale of a San Francisco RUSH the ROCK that was going to be picked up by sparky5693 on Saturday around noon. eh... not too bad. game works, they'll be in and out in 20 mins, both gone and back on their way to Atlanta and Virginia.

Sparky arrives first, just a little after noon. I go to boot up RUSH to let him inspect it. NO MONITOR SHOWING! I tested it the same night he messaged me about buying it, and it worked PERFECT. well, as soon as we notice THAT... here comes my Atlanta guy. I thought... ok, let's just get HIM out of the way real fast, and then I can go back to figuring out the monitor issue on RUSH.

I boot up the INDY 500. OMG. OMG. OMG!!! That monitor went out as well. IT WAS WORKING TWO DAYS AGO AS WELL!!! long story short, NEITHER monitor ended up working, after 6 and a half hours of toying around and sweating. What are the odds that Two monitors would go out the same day previously working two days prior??? SLIM to NONE. I tried the 2nd Indy 500 monitor I had available. IT WAS DEAD TOO. The day ended with everyone still keeping their cool, and I truly believe everyone left happy. Could have been SOOO much worse if the two gentlemen that came that day had been anyone else, or had a bad attitude could have certainly been disastrous.


Sparky was like literally awesome. VERY patient. I tried everything I could to get the monitor working. Capkit, flyback... no dice. just couldn't get it going. We eventually decided to call it a day, and we came to an agreement beneficial to both of us. I just want to let you guys know, if you have the opportunity to deal with sparky5693, he's a great guy. I look forward to having other transactions with him in the future. this transaction isn't complete yet, but it's setup. I have faith the transaction will finish as agreed upon. I'll keep you guys updated. -Ken
