Im down to just two cabs :eek: I normally have 5-6 with one or two in the living room as overflow.See i live in an apartment so space is always an issue for me but not now because for some reason ive been selling my cabs off one by one,im down to my asteroids deluxe and my playchoice.Sold my assault a few weeks ago to yellowdog(which katana joe now has) sold my jamma cab last night to b-boytekken and sold my galaga to Gsrogers before he went to aussie(my old galaga in tow) before that i sold off my big machine that is normally in the living room(arctic thunder deluxe)to a dentist that put it in his office lobby.

The game room is looking naked with just 2 cabs a slot and my fun chicken,I had a line on a game i REALLY wanted but it never materialized.On the upside,i have some cash for some new stuff if i would stop spending it! I dont know about yall but all my play/arcade funds come from the sales of my other stuff,I never touch our family funds for play money.
I guess im just getting picky about the stuff i want,anyone else ever get to this point?

End rant.

I have been wanting something 'new to me' in the lineup, but don't have cash right now to buy something. I offered up my Berzerk in a trade for something I'd like to have, but all I got back was........

 
With the sad state of choices around here it seems i would need to ship which sucks because it adds way too much value to the machine that you'll never get back.
 
None of these were really worth keeping anyway, I mean Galaga pfff...

Those were just recent ones i seem to toggle thru them trying to find some keepers,so far the AD and PC are "keepers" for me. on an unrelated note i see your in the netherlands,i sent a package to there in march and it just got returned.It was an ebay item,i never have a problem with international shipping but it seems that customs over there refused it ever have a problem with that?
 
Ah you have a Playchoice, I may be getting with you pretty soon. I have a bunch of Playchoice stuff that I'm unable to test. Is it a single or dual monitor?

Yup those would be the keepers for me too to be honest.

Actually I have ordered SO many things from the US and I had only ONE time whe the item didn't arrive but I am positive I was scammed then, I was new here and foolish when that happened. I normally prefer USPS for my shipments as they are fast (enough), about 6-7 working days with first class priority (cheapest) and very reliable.
I would find it very strange if customs would have refused it here unless it was goods not allowed into the country, you know food stuff, weapon (parts) etc.
It sounds more to me the receiver never picked it up....? Maybe there was something wrong with the address ? I often see spelling mistakes when people do hand written addresses. I always clip the adress the e-mail me and print it and put that on the package so IF there is something wrong with the address, it's not my fault ;)

Any package with a correct postcode (format is XXXX YY, where X is a number and Y a letter) and a house number and NL before the postcode should make it to the addressee.

Check what is indicated on the papers with the returned shipment, they usually indicate a code which gives the reason for its return, I had a similar experience sending a CD to a friend in the US, it returned after a really long time, turns out he went to the post office with the note that the postman left behind, but at the post office they couldn't find it....

Let me know if you want me to contact the guy.

Roy if we could have found time to go to the mesquite auction you could have loaded up on a bunch of games Trey told me he did real well and got some smokin deals!!! Hopefully there will be a bunch of games raining down on us soon have faith. Joe!!
 
Roy,

If you are just jonesing so bad for a deal, I have a Joust that I have been looking at parting with (it would have made it to the swap meet if I didn't have that stupid van instead of a pickup truck). I have had 2 or 3 people express interest in it and then vanish.
