¡Hola, KLoV brothers! I'm on the fence about a possible deal, and wanted some input...
Another local collector (Scott -- a great guy who I just recently met) has been wanting a Dragon's Lair, and when he found out I had one and that I also had always wanted a Freddy pin, he asked me if I wanted to trade straight-up: His Freddy pin for my Dragon's Lair. I explained to him that even though I had around $700 in the machine (it was a "Choplifter" conversion when I bought it -- with a bad monitor chassis and NO Lair parts at all), it was Daphne-based and wasn't running off of original hardware.
Naturally this changed the deal, and after several different offers and counter-offers, this is the final counter-offer that I received:
-------------------------------------------------------------
My Dragon's Lair (with repro sideart, repro CPO, repro scoreboard plexi, original marquee, Spaeth scoreboard, new Jen Shin monitor chassis, iPac, Arcade VGA, PC with Athlon XP 1600 CPU & 655mb RAM, framed Dragon's Lair promo poster and complete set of Dragon's Lair 3D action figures)
PLUS
My dedicated Double Dragon in very good condition with repro CPO (although with painted-over TAITO sideart)
PLUS
My early-run Joust (that could use a repainting) with repro CPO, switcher kit, and optical joysticks...
All for this:

-------------------------------------------------------------
Now, I can't say that I play these vids a whole lot anymore, but I'm fairly conflicted nontheless. I definitely want the pin and would surely play it more than I currently play those vids, but one second I feel like it's a fair trade to both parties, and then the next I start to think that maybe it might not be so great on my end.
This would be my very first pin and I've already had some helpful mentoring from RareHero and session9 (thanks guys!), but I was curious as to what you other pin pros thought?
