Quoted from vdojaq:There was an $1800 Bally World Cup on CL Sat for $1800. Got snapped up quickly(no, it wasn't me, out of the game for a while)
I seen that right when it was listed. I called the guy and he said it just had a $500 service and in excellent condition etc.. I drove over an hour to see it, cash in hand.. By NO means was it excellent. Cracked taped translight and faded deteriorating trans, cracked plastics, previous water damage or heavy moisture (under cab was puffy in spots (mainly front), metals throughout were rusty/spotted, coin door had a hacked riveted piece of metal on it and spray painted, and looks like it was moved with the legs on and someone hit a stair cracking the rear cabinet. Roached inside cab, gouges taken out of the cab, and some felt or paper glued to the entire back of the machine. Needed more than what I was willing to put into it at $1800 buy.
I may be picky, but I didn't even make an offer. They became irate, I apologized, I left...Waste of my Sat night.
* I must note that the acid damage on the board looked to be fixed properly, that was the majority of the $500 service done, at least that's what the gents receipt said..
