What is the furthest you have driven for a game only to not buy it?
For me it was a Track and Field in south Cleveland, 130 miles from me, that after owner assured me it was in great condition and sent me pictures that backed that up, came to find out it had chunks taken out of the front of the machine and the game was glitchy. No budge on price at all thanks to jpopson's interest in it
I dont think he bought it either.
2nd had to be the mr. and mrs. pacman pinball in dayton last night, 80 miles. Beautiful pictures and machine was just that upon arrival however bubbling mylar on the playfield, non working light maze, and what was told an extra MPU board came to be an extra power supply. Offered the guy $260 vs. his $400 and he told me no, he paid $600 for it blah blah blah. No budging and the wife and i left. Oh well, i had bad vibes on this one before i made trip but i wanted it.
3rd was a local, 5 miles from me Galaga that looked good in the picture. Upon arrival the cabinet leaned forward about 3 inches due to the water damage at bottom and it was running a bootleg board. Ironically another buyer was there right after i showed up, we looked at machine together but i kept my comments to myself. Guy said i was first, i passed. Other 2 guys were excited and said they would take it for $350! I laughed my ass off on way home!
