Geez, your area really sucks. Sounds like New York or LA pricing. I have personally passed on, in the past year : a $2800, $2650, $3200, and a $2400. The $3200 one being a busted-up pile of parts (auction), and the $2400 one being the nicest (local pinhead). A typical mostly home-used, well cared-for unit. Maybe some people pay more for Chinese add-on toys, but as you know, I pay less
Never less than 3K? Move. Today.
Well,I guess its all based upon where you live and where you look and in this money tight economy some people need money and need it fast and willing to just sell their TZ real cheap.Geez, your area really sucks.

If it helps some of you guys in the north part of Texas im willing to to help in any way i can. Ill be more than happy to go down there and pic up a few games and store them in my garage untill you can get down to the Austin area (this is where im at). It will cut down on the driving you would have to do plus id really like to see these get out to the collectors out there and im sure the more we buy the better the prices will be.
Just got off the phone with darren, he was at the warehouse again today, and said the owners are def interested in selling alot of stuff, but its going to take a little bit to go through everything and whatnot. So basically, he just said as long as everyone doesnt mind waiting just a little while, go ahead and pm him what you want and he will compile a list to take to the owners and get the ball rolling.

why oh why cant we find these places in uk?????
I would be interested in a Pacman or Galaga cocktail if the price is right. I also am coming into 2 or 3 NBA showtime cabinets. I will probably be keeping one but getting rid of the other 2.

Let me know about any tetris cocktails in there, working or not (I'd love a non-working one simply because I can fix it - and afford it). My mom has been wanting a Tetris cocktail, but I haven't found a cocktail cab I can use that is horizontal and doesn't have those vertical nintendo control panels...
