50 cents a game. A dollar at the most.

How about some of us discuss the topic seriously, some of us crack jokes, some of us go off topic, some of us squabble and others ignore the post entirely. Or all of the above.

This is business as usual people.

Consider this:

Are either of these machines really a prototype in the traditional sense. Or are they simply a one off garage build from failed ventures.

Notorious machines yes, but in my mind certainly not valued as a prototype or sample machine of a production run from an established manufacture.

In that context I view both of these machines as novelties with minimal value. Especially the Predator.

Yeah, I get that. But what value? For me it isnt much and again I see them as novelties. To each his own I guess.

Quoted for irony.

Beelzeboob for Pinside Mayor.

Have weenie roast with Popadiuk as the weenie.

Don't be such a cloaca.

I hear Pinchili might be thinking of selling. LOL

Predator will get passed around I can agree but I just don't see anyone paying a hefty price for it.
- Meet me at Expo 2025 and we'll discuss it over a beer.

Are you completely oblivious to the reputation you have earned during your time here on Pinside?

You've dug yourself a deep hole. Any chance for you to redeem yourself means you need to participate cleaner and better than the average Pinsider. Anything borderline controversial from you will be taken negatively.

And you are in no position to ask or demand respect. You need to earn it as we all do.

Now I've seen glimpses of promise from you recently but it seems like its one step forward, followed by one step back.

I'll be at Expo and look forward to a chat.

No. I want dinner and I'm bringing a couple of overweight lady friends.

Wow, you were sure butthurt during Phill-Gate. One of the more prolific commentators as I recall.

I'm very sorry that happened to you. I truly am.

Now how would you feel if a public thread was begun and numerous Pinsider's took turns ridiculing you. Arrogant, insulting comments on a daily basis and it went on for over a year. Still does.

For me it isn't the loss of money so much as the public humiliation and abuse we've suffered. Combine that with your lost money and I imagine you'd be sensitive also.

And for the record, I think this thread is interesting and perfectly acceptable. Perhaps too early and begun by the wrong person but I'm OK with it.

No argument. Curious you would rephrase what I said.

When will you be giving your official statement as Pinchili aka Tim Fife?

Seriously Rommy, the FBI reopened the case? Thats excellent news for you guys. Its my understanding that an individual cannot file for bankruptcy protection when a crime is involved. One way or another, they have to pay. (no, I'm not a lawyer)

It never occurred to me until just now but I happen to know two FBI investigators that are pinheads. I bump into them every year at Expo. I'm certain they wouldnt tell me squat about a case but I'd find it interesting to know if they were on it or not.

I'm keeping a good thought for all of you guys getting your money back. Tough road but necessary to do. And from my outside perspective this case just got very interesting. - Kick ass fellas.
