    I coulda bought a very nice Big Guns for $650 last week and i passed. I'm regretting it now. The only issue I noted was the bottom half of the display was out. Oops!

    TAF for 2.5K about 3 months ago

    Two years ago I had a chance to buy MM in great shape for about 5500, and STTNG for 1700 from a guy that sold me his Stern Indy for 1900. About three weeks ago i spoke to a guy that was selling FG and TSPP, i was gonna get FG but some other Pinhead bought them both for 6K! That really hurt!

    JD at $500. Got stolen out from under me. Guy turned right around and sold it as is for $1000.

    AFM for a £1000. I heard about it and didn't have much cash at the time so told a friend about it. When I saw it later it was like new!

    Johnny Mnemonic, I could get it for about 270$!! even tho it needed some caring and cleaning and the hand didn't work (might be any easy fix), it was so worth it but I didn't have a place for it at the time so I waited 'till it was sold

    Shame, for that price you could have turned the hand off in the options and had a very nice game to play until you got it sorted. I love that game but the hand can be problematic to fix once broken!

    Are you over that BK now?

    I should have bought a TAF years ago when you could still get good ones for less than 3 grand.

    #19 12 years ago

    Whoa, I'd be on that!

    Wasn't that great of a deal IMO. A good fixer-upper, but probably not what you'd be looking for.

    Missed a wh20 for $1200 last month.

    Ouch... That stings. For whatever reason the price for those have skyrocketed lately. Would have been a steal at that price.
