Hi everyone, so I posted earlier today that I have been looking into getting an upright or cocktail star wars game. People on eBay were really jerking me around. i actually considered buying one until i decided to post on here first and get some people's opinions. I had already checked the Exidy classic arcade collectors prices, then the Roth-blog 15 most valuable arcade games story, then read some other post and forums. I knew or at least sensed that i was potentially getting ripped off but I wanted to make sure. Thankfully, many loyal collectors posted confirming what my conscience was telling me. I WAS being ripped off. 5600 for cocktail with badly damaged plexi-glass over-top, cabinet art was pretty scratched, marquee non-functioning,hardware issues etc. was just not acceptable. 3700 for a stand-up! yeah it was refurbished but that is over the top. while the cockpit was more appropriate as their prices are all over the place, i don't understand how a star wars upright is being sold for that much.Anyway, just going off that alone i was turned off. I checked the local craigslist, and of course nothing came up except for a guy who was asking for 2200, for a berzerk+frenzy that was in "ok" condition. Then one of the members after exchanging dialogue with me encouraged me to look and post here. My main factor is this: I really enjoy working on my games a little bit. Because of this i am typically looking for games that hold a more affordable price and i get the added benefit of working on it and seeing it come to life. This is my ship in the bottle so to speak and has been a great way to network with people who have similar interest. So my plea is this. If there is anybody out there who has a star wars upright game that is "near" complete or needs a little work for a fair price, and you are somewhat close to ohio/cincinnati, please pm me or post on here. I could really use the help.If the game is complete but your still willing to help a new collector out whose very passionate about this, then also feel free to pm me. Now I can not promise that I will be able to buy within the week (but there is a chance that I may be able to), but if not this week By the 15th I know I will have the cash in hand. Thank you for your time once again everybody. And thank all of you for teaching me how to be self-suffecient and work on games and buy them and just everything that goes into the collecting world.-Phil
