I have hit a few good deals and just check the site once or twice a day. It makes me wonder though what I might have missed. It would be kinda cool if when a person deletes a listing it got saved for one day and marked as sold before being removed, or a category for sold items in the last 24 hours.
Just wondering how much is actually around here because there are not very many arcade/pin listings at all.

I'll tell you how I got cheap, good games from RGVAC: after buying a few, I sold `em cheap to people in that NG. They remembered when they had their own to offer me the next time around.

Armioo24, Are there many games in Hawaii besides the guy who has all the Cockpits. I was just there 2 years ago for 2 weeks and it was the best vaction I have ever had. We stayed on 3 diferent islands for 4 days at a time and did everything possible. Cant imagine living thre on the beach and having a gameroom.
Sorry for the long post, HFK, if you use feeds you have a record even if the post i pulled down. I can tell you that in the MN, WI area about 2/3 of the deals were snatched up by collectors, 1/2 and 1/2 using feeds, then about 1/3 just disappeared to unknowns who got lucky. That's my approximation of watching for a year. Feeds definitely got me a few deals, but they aren't everything. I also had to balace med school with arcade searches, lol
Well, no game room here, trying to line up one game in the apartment...I can barely afford 2 bedrooms for the three of us plus dog. Hawaii is very much a word of mouth place. It lives and dies on relationships, knowing people and making connections. 6 weeks ago there was nothing. No I have opportunities on a cocktail SI, Ms. Pac, two Pac style cocktails, 1943, etc etc. It's a weird but cool place. The beaches are a blast. After having lived in Minnesota for 6 years it's fun to come home and then just decide to go hit a beach, and dependent on sand grain size and wave size you can pick what you are in the mood for that day. I am finding a more vibrant market for multi's than the mainland, which is no surprise because space is a premium. I am on the look out for the EDOT guy, hoping one day I'll run into him in the hospital. He's probably one of the guys I see every day just keeping quiet because he knows I'm looking lol.

I could quote the movie backwards line for line. Just wasn't sure why he said it. Didn't want Rlevin to know his jedi secrets I guess?

Thats pretty much what I was getting at, he seems to have enough games already.
Anyhow, I think your AD is back now. Sure is nice that they snatched out a free game from collectors, only to store it on a rainy back porch where it will rot away while they wait for their 100% profit.
CL ad
Heres the text:
non working but is complete
Original cabinet-side artwork is B+ condition
Marquee is in great condition as is the monitor, control panel, and coin door.
The back panel is a little swollen from moisture and could be shaved down a little and repainted black.
All the internal complements are there and look to be in good condition. Have the keys to the coin door, and to the back panel
Just dont have the time or know how to get this classic back into working condition.

Oh man! That is sad. I could understand if a collector snatched it up first for free, then got it WORKING before reselling it, but this guy's just asking for a CL smackdown.

I just saw the ad. So sad... I wrote an email saying I'd take it off his hands for free. Wonder what the reply, if there is one, will be...

I love that he posted it for "Sunday only" I will reduce it in price to $180. I guess he really needs it gone. hahahaha.

Sure it does, as we all know that about the least likely part to go out in a game. I guess thats a little better than "it only needs a fuse".
Stupid CL vultures, killing games for a buck. I feel like putting up a bunch of BS "free game" ads now so I can send this person on wild goose chases all over the area.

I don't undestand why all the "fuss" over this? The seller will learn soon enough $180 for a non working, UN-RARE game with peeling artwork is too much. It's probably one of the few that were on CL for $50 earlier this year and he could never get it going. Probably looking at eBay prices - typical.
Could be like that Bill moron that keeps posting machines for sale and asking a bajillion dollars for them. He needs to go away as well.
oohhh and speaking of over priced morons -

At those prices I think everyone already knows to stay away from him.
