Which machine would you pick?

If you buy a T2, you'll be wondering why you can't sell the damn thing 3 months later. Everyone I know who gets one gets rid of it in 6 months or less....

+ 1 million, dont ask how i know !

Really? Cause there's only 5 on ebay right now. 3 East Coast and 2 California machines, and they're ranging in price from $400 up to over 2 grand. It's not exactly a pac cab where there are hundreds of them for sale. Additionally, I haven't seen any listed for sale locally aside from this one. Why would you say that these people are so quick to dump them?


Update-
Now I don't know if this will go down. I cleaned everything up and took pics for the guy today. Despite everything coming out nearly immaculate, guy is being lame about this trade even for one machine, despite him not being able to move them in months. Maybe I'd be better off. A little persistence with CL and I could probably make more in the long run.

Dig Dug and nothing else.

Agree, Dig Dug and nothing else.

You'll have more room for games without that pool table

You know me Steve and I've had my T2 for more than 6 months...

I'd go for the T2 for a cool recoiling double machine guns, its a cool game in my book. I used to have one and miss it alot, someday will get a T2 again to satisfy my urge...

As far as T2's being worth $50, not a snowballs chance in hell on the Westside. I've been watching them for years and they seem to get descent coin, usually more than I'm willing to spend on one and it actually does sell. I sold mine on the first few days of listing it on CL for $350 or $400 to a guy who is now on KLOV and still loves the game.

I guess what it boils down to is, are you looking for 1 or 2 games you want to KEEP, or 1 or 2 games you want to FLIP?

I did some work for a guy, and as payment he gave me a pool table. I was psyched about it at the time until I got it home and realized that I didn't have any room for it. I found a billiards dealer around here with a few arcade machines that I guess he's having trouble selling. I offered him my table in trade for one of them and he said I could have my pick of any machine. All are in reasonably good condition and none need major work. I'm kinda torn, but which would you choose?

Die Hard the Arcade
Terminator 2
Ninja Gaiden
Twin Cobra
The Real Ghost Busters
Dig Dug
Blitz 99

Dig Dug 100%
