This is not a for-sale thread...but who wants a Pac Man for $90? San Jose

So I responded to a CL ad for a Pac Man for $90 is San Jose. I heard back from them and they said I can come get it at 7pm tonight. Here's the ad for it: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/for/2652931286.html

I can go get this thing....but instead I'm going to offer it up here first. If anyone wants it, let me know and I'll give you the pertinent info about it. You will be first in line for it. No strings attached. But don't flake on the person!

Just bring the $90 to the nice person and take the game home. Any questions?

And please don't send them a message that I'm doing this...I'm just trying to offer it up to a good KLOV brother rather than snatching it up for myself....

I'm soooo jealous, I'd love a Pac Man...too bad I'm in Northern MI lol

See, what will happen is I'll end up getting it and repairing it and then people will get all pissy when I list it for sale at $400.

So I'm TRYING to pass on the good deal the only way I know how....

Anyone?

Wish the pic was bigger. Looks nice from the little pic but hard to tell. If it's in nice condition I would say if you pick it up in San Jose I"ll pay you double the price and and take it off your hands as is. Of course I will pick up from your place. Have just been driving too much lately and really don't want to make the drive to/past San Jose for the 3rd time in like a week.

Or just grab it fix it and sell it for $400.
 
Shit for that much pick it up and I'll have it shipped to me from your place...:D I have a local here looking for one ...they want it to have multi pac but that is easily done..:D
 
As mentioned in another thread, I'm trying to lay off picking up games for a while. Partly it's a room and project overload issue. Partly it's a sanity issue. Partly it's to keep my wife from grumping about spending to much time on this stuff. Partly it's because I know someone out there must want this thing enough to go pick it up at 7 tonight.
 
I remember when you could sell them for 1k on craigslist. My last one I got $250 for and it was working with a speed up chip.

Well Pac Man has limited appeal. But if I end up picking it up I'll probably throw a multi-pac in there before selling it. Anyone want to trade a multi-pac kit for my 60-in-1 board from Nixs?
 
Already have a Pac-Project, besides there being no room or disposable cash right now. Just bad timing for me.
 
Hey Rue pop in every couple of years huh?

good to see ya.

yeah I wouldn't mind having this, but I just made room and bought a battlezone cabaret (project) those things take up a ton of room.
 
Laughs, I wonder If I just hire you to pick up games for me up north
But that would surely piss the people up there and down here laughs.

It's a steal at 90.

20 games and still collecting..
 
Well, no real interest to this point so I guess I'm going to have to make a decision here. I'll give it a few more minutes but if I don't hear something like a commitment from someone pretty soon I'm going to have to go get it myself I guess.
 
That's cool of you to offer it up like that. That would be gone in a heartbeat here. I take it California has more Pac Man cabs than they know what to do with?

Arcade games in general sell for less here than a lot of places. I've never actually owned a Pac. I've had Ms. Pac before. Anyway, I got a PM from someone who might be interested.

If it doesn't pan out with him then I'll just go grab it myself later. So I guess the thread is officially over now. Sort of.

I owned at least 4 but I routed them all. They're pretty common. I've repaired a bunch too. Believe it or not they make decent money even today on route. I had one in a crummy laundromat making $300 a month at one point.

Yeah I kinda miss old school games. I'm thinking about getting some more hopefully. I still have my wife's Spy Hunter and I have 2 on route.
Been kinda dry on CL lately for newer cheapy games. Everyone still thinks it's 2007 or something with the prices.
 
personally I call BS on the "No more games for the year thread"
http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=204415

You started that thread with no true committment to laying off getting games. I'm sure if it was a hotter game for $50 you wouldn't "pass it to a KLOVer"

passing it on is to avoid heat from the wife or looking bad for not living to your word.
