Weekend Pickup: Killer Instinct finally comes home!

I have wanted one since I first started collecting. My first game ever was a Centipede that someone converted to MK that I converted to KI. I've been able to find most of everything else I wanted, but KI always eluded me. I had everything but the dedicated cabinet, which is what I really wanted. I've had a purchase set up for one before, but have always been screwed out of it one way or another. Finally, I e-mailed on a CL post for another game, on the chance the seller had one and he did! Even better was the price, which I have no problem saying as I am not selling this one...$250 dedicated and working. Plan to use the dedicated KI2 to swap out KI2 and KI PCBs in. Now to sell my other KI stuff I had gathered over the years, I will make a for sale post in the FS section. Just had to share as I am one happy camper!

You bastard, I want a ki so bad

I love the fact that people think a good deal has to be passed on...
I sell some at "good deal" prices, my $14 outrun went for $230 which was still a good deal for the buyer. Hell made my money back for other expenses...

Sorry, back to KI... I keep thinking of the HUO $1,000 discussion for one... :D You did pretty good!! Enjoy it!!

You underestimated the strength of the crack in that thread, it was 1900!

Nice score. The best deals are always for the games you really, really want. :)
 
I also just picked up a KI, well I pick it up tomorrow but it is mine! A local auction, it is in great shape and has the nicest sideart I have ever seen on one. Not going to say what I paid for it (probably too much), but I don't ahve to search anylonger:)

Congrats on yours, such a great game.

Thanks. I was ready and willing to pay much more for my KI2. I haven't seen them in a dedicated cab for under $500 ever in my area. I wouldn't worry about overpaying, mine was an insane deal as far as I am concerned, definately not the norm that I have seen.
