The most valuable coin operated machine in the world

sounds like greed to me.

$3M bid would top a $2M bid. Hmmm.. OK. Actually, a $2,000,001 bid would top a $2M bid, right?

I hope some lowly attendant at the place steals it and sells it for $5K or something.

I think the idea of the $3m bid is to make an offer they can't refuse. They flat out rejected $2m.

Why? Because it's a lot of money? Things sell for $2M every day. Getting full market value for anything isn't greed. I see you aren't asking "low book" for your Spy Hunter.

Well, I would say "good for them on not selling it", except for the fact that THEY ARE ALL NOW WITHOUT JOBS..undoubtedly some govt. moron will not give the same care, and this will end up going in somone's personal vault, where nobody else will see or experience it for a loooong time, if ever.

*sigh*
 
I would love to see what site owner mclemore thinks of this machine. From what I gather, early coin op machines are a large part of his private collection.
 
I can't sell Spy Hunter-

shoot- it's had the CP off for over a year now, and by the time I put it back together, I'd want to play it a few more months.

Wait till my storage bin shuts down and I'll give it away to Chip before I accept a hundred bucks for it.

I guess anybody can make an offer for anything, and any seller can then consider that it's worth 50% more, with both parties walking away, none the richer nor poorer.
 
The irony is that they all lost their jobs due to a $400k budget cut after rejecting the sale for $2M.
 
It's funny, I see a lot of guys on this forum think that a "game" that they find in the wild should be taken out of an arcade and hidden away in a private collection all the time. I can understand that if the game is in bad shape but if it's not, why would someone suggest that being a "good" idea? The less machines we have on location = less of an identity and chance new people will be introduced to gaming. I never understood that way of thinking on here...the opportunity to be able to play or at least look at the game(s) in question should be an option as opposed to being hid in someone's house IF the games on location are cleaned up and nice...
