Fudd, you can have that Paperboy. The Capcom Bowling is all mine! ;-)

Seriously tho, I told myself no more games until I get my game room finished. And even then I'm still running out of space and probably shouldn't buy any more. I've got a Gorf in my office at work, a Crystal Castles in our Network Operations Center, 6 uprights in the garage and a Tron, Gauntlet Legends and Black Knight pin in a friends storage. And that's not even counting the actual games in my house, heh.

If you do end up getting that Paperboy, I have a complete control panel you can have from back when I owned a Paperboy years ago.
 
Haha when I saw the thread title I thought there might be a live auction type deal like Super Auctions or something. I'd be a lying if I said I wasn't tempted to bid on the Paperboy, but I'd need to let go of my Blasteroids machine to make room. Fudd, you got the ZK from the last batch of games....doesn't that mean you're out too? ;) In all seriousness, the only machine I really want to add to my collection is in my sig. I'm really starting to kick myself for passing up on the MAME converted one I saw on Saginaw CL last summer. Never thought I would have trouble finding a better candidate for the same money. :(

so what u r saying is u have enough games to lol
 
i'm not after the capcom bowling, looks like a galaga conversion which i already have.....i put in a starting bid of 200 on the paperboy and i'm already outbid :( i will prolly just pass on it.
 
Ok what am I missing here? The paperboy and the capcom bowling both say they are at $5 with no bids on them. Do you need to be logged in to see what the prices are really at or something?
 
you can log in and pre bid....you get notices you are outbid even in prebidding. aka, i put in a prebid of 200 and a couple hours later i got a email saying i was outbid. lol

That sucks man. What's a Paperboy in unknown working condition worth?

ahhh I get it now. I will just wait and see what happens on Thursday I guess. I don't need the thing, but it would be a nice small cab compared to the beast my capcom bowling is in right now.

could be like an ebay thing where the seller is doing his own up bidding?
but its a pretty rare game so a non klover (which i know a few) but a collector, could be going for it... i really dont see it going for more than 250.
but what do i know??? lol... good luck guys games are getting scarce with a few people trying to open arcades. i know of 3. guys were calling me trying to buy off my cl ads (all gr based) plus epic raping everything off cl!
and no its not me, i live check to check and have to save to buy stuff.
myself if i had cash id pay 300 for that paperboy...we may not see another around?
but broke...1 of us has to have it.
 
Of course the other big question is what is the working status of the Paperboy? It doesn't really say anything in the description, so I guess you'd have to assume it doesn't work.
 
problem i keep running into is finding games close by that i want in my collection that don't normally show up around here or if they do they skyrocket in price. this game is literally 2 mins around the corner from me here at work. i guess i'll wait and see how far the price drives up.
