Quoted from McCune:Correct to a point .. If you have seen as many high dollar games that are complete shit as I have ,you might have a better understanding of the "Blown out" statement!
Next time I will just say it is a routed beater !
The fact is ,you will pay a ton of money for a game that needs a ton of work! I bet that game has 75000 plays on it, and needs a rebuild .
Lets just say the game will need 5K plus the selling price to have something you are proud of!

I've seen a lot of games, from blown out to new and high-end restored, and I still don't understand how you consider this blown out or even a "beater" just from the pics.
The real fact of the matter is that this game does not appear to "need" anything aside from the left troll issue. It certainly doesn't "need" $5k worth of work/parts. $5k could buy you 2-4 other machines (all "blown out" by your standards, I'm sure). To a lot of people, that is something to be more proud of than having one game that they sunk so much extra money into, they have a harder time selling it when they inevitably become tired of playing it. After all, these machines were designed to be played, not turned into pristine conversation pieces. I respect those who use them for either purpose.
I predict $11.8k if the auction goes to the end.
