Hello,
I am looking for a full size crazy climber. I am in western PA, but will also consider shipping it.
Thanks,
Warren
 
there are 3 full size uprights. your probably thinking of the orange tatio($600-$1k):

The deluxe one will cost you about 2x or 3x the other two.

the one listed above by the klov'er I have never seen before. its probably a bootleg, but the price is not too bad if its running the real board.
 
Flex, i have one

Wanst thinking about selling my PP2 to you either but....if you intrested pm me. i have the Tatio one
 
there's one in Ohio on ebay now with a BIN of $1200

Flex, did you get it? It was on eBay for a week. Auction ended 2 hours ago. There were no bids until the last 20 minutes, when the same bidder bid twice and scored it for the opening bid price of $799.

I would have bid on it myself, and I had written the seller last Friday night to ask if he had any problems with my using NAVL for pickup. At first he said no problem, then retracted that 24 hours later with no explanation. To make matters worse, the eBay seller apparently lied to me about being the second owner:

Read the story and the comments. He bought it from the true second owner a couple of weeks ago for $800 and listed it on eBay 3 days later to flip it, using the real 2nd owner's photographs for the listing. So he either lost $1 plus listing fees or he shill bid his own listing, which I doubt since only one person bothered to bid. Having lost confidence in this seller I did not bid.

I'm bummed about this because I really wanted it and would have made a serious offer had the seller not lied to me and gotten all weird about this game being shipped for some reason. He screwed himself out of a profit, as I would have paid considerably more for this cab than it just went for.

Moral of the story: honesty is the best policy.
