...and I really enjoyed it. (To be honest, I was expecting this machine to be somewhat of a turd, and was glad to discover that it wasn't at all. )

The game had a display that was crapping out, but otherwise was in really good shape and was fully working. I spent $20 on it over a couple days time (at 50 cents a play), and I'm thinking I wouldn't mind having one -- if the opportunity presented itself.

How does this machine hold up in the long run? How do you think it would fare amongst the other machines in my collection?

I sure am thinking about it. Although, that means getting rid of something I have now. And while I'm apt to do that, I'm not entirely sure when it comes to Pirates.

Tricky, it is.

I can't help but feel that way, too.

I've got a line on a couple, but when I do the math and consider what I'd have to sell to pick either of them up, it just doesn't seem quite right.

My gut just says no...and obviously, I ALWAYS listen to my gut.
