Quoted from Greenfun13:Seller just got back to me about my $1,000 offer and said this:
"THE LOWEST WE CAN POSSIBLY GO IS $1,100....I CANT DROP THE PRICE ANY MORE THEN THAT MY BOY...ITS NOT BRAND NEW I GET THAT BUT IT WORKS EXCELLENT AND IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND PERFECT CONDITION....ANY LOWER AND I START TI FEEL LIKE A SUCKER AND IM GETTING PLAYED..."
Hard to believe that thinks it is in excellent condition based on the cabinet condition alone.. Not sure what to do here. Wish I had someone local that could go with me and help me check it out, I would even offer to pay for your time.
Still thinking I should probably pass on this even though it might be a good deal to a more experienced pinhead.
Why not go check it out and see how it looks? If the board isn't covered in battery acid, if there aren't any major issues, it's certainly worth $1,100.
On the other hand, they made a million F14s so if you don't think a project is a good idea, may as well pass (just like you should pass at $1,000).
We can't tell you what to do here.
