Rampart that I restored from a gutted Pit Fighter - needed the space, though.

Mint Cosmic Avenger
Silverball pinball
8 ball deluxe pinball
Crater Raider….i should have kept and fixed it except i never played it bitd. It was a beast to move. Maybe a pinch longer than a spy hunter.
Ms pac cocktail….my first.
It ended up with rich dion for a trade towards a blue computer space…

A really nice Satan's Hollow from the guy who sold me my first Tempest. He only wanted $600 at the time (2018). I would've been around another 6 hour round trip and wasn't up for two of those in a row. Should've rented a trailer.
Biggest regret selling was Bubbles during downsizing.

Championship Sprint is probably my biggest sales regret, a really fun game.
This pic shows multiple I wish I kept: Championship Sprint, Ms Pac, PC10, 1943. Still have the Pole Position cockpit and the VS RBI and a different bowling cab.

Yes, I put it up for sale for 900 bucks back in 2015 but it was scooped up by Steve from Grinker's Grand Palace in Idaho within the first hour of me putting it up. When Grinkers closed, somebody from Utah bought that collection so they have it now. That was just before my move. I also had a nice Burgertime for sale for $900 at the same time. That one is still in Minnesota.
Went to Midwest Gaming Classic 15 maybe 20 years ago to buy a TOOBIN' game… asking $450… but the monitor was very very sketchy… so i passed on it… (not a repair guru at the time… still am NOT, but not afraid to work on them anymore) Guy also had a MINT Wizard of Wor AND Satan's Hollow cabaret for $500 EACH…. And I passed on both of them…. And own NEITHER of them now…
IDIOT. !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Debating putting a Satan's Hollow/TRON board expansion board in my TRON…. But not sure yet. I was also just offered to buy a Root Beer Tapper, but it just isn't in the cards for me at the moment… Been out of work since August 1st of 2024 and have been working on starting my own business…. Semi-retired, but I need something to do every day for at least the next 10 years…. Or I'll lose my mind. I did pick up a Food Fight 4 years ago that I love dearly. Makes me happy every time i step off the last step in the basement and look over to the left…

You've done this several times in life - and it had nothing to do with the arcade hobby.
Whats not to believe?

I had a Missile Command that I bought for cheap, fixed up, and then fell for the "we don't have any room at home" spiel.
I haven't seen another one come up for sale locally since, and there was definitely enough room to keep it.

In the mid 80's found a Robotron for sale in the want ad's of the local newspaper, was home use only and they wanted $250. Had a friend drive me to the house to look at it, but could not come up with the $250, it was like a $1000 back then. Always regretted not getting that but, 40 years later that is why I'm here, first game I purchased was a Robotron to restore.

Are you looking for that specific final fight or just one in general I see one in the guys photo in the background I could ask about it if you'd like?

I am about to do one now. Absolutely no room 3 games ago and I still have to sell and inversion table and repair a rescue 911 so I can't squeeze in a 150 dollar seawolf in good cosmetic shape but no monitor
Outrun Mini here. I traded it for a Wacko straight up, so I think it was a good trade, but man, still miss it.
Thankfully shouldn't be too hard to relocate one.
