I posted 2 weeks ago what was going on with the new owner of Rottendog, who's yet to make any announcement of what's going on with the company, at least to my knowledge.

I did notice though that in an attempt to hurt my sales, he has removed me from the distributors list. Guess ethics are out the door here and it's pure greed. Despite the fact I bought the majority of the last inventory of finished and unfinished boards from Jim at Rottendog, I'm no longer "a distributor". He also removed the other top sellers. The good news for pinheads all around is a lot of new stuff is being worked on by a lot of people. Big Daddy boards, XPin boards, Pinball Basement and more. Lots of rumors going back and forth I won't ruin anyone's surprises.
That being said, I'm going to dump some of the Rottendog inventory I have. Strictly to streamline and lower my inventory. Some of this is slower moving inventory that XPin already supplies, and some are just boards I have a few left, or ones I have many of. I've yet to set prices on all as this has all come up in the last 24 hours. This isn't a money grab or desperation, the funds will go straight in to investing in new product and ramping up what's already in the works. Most of it I will warranty for 6 months as previously posted, but some will be sold as-is with a caveat, I will replace once if it is found to be a manufacturing defect and postage is paid both ways by the buyer, a bit of a gamble with saving some money. That being said, most Rottendog boards weren't tested at all, I found this out as Jim was getting out, and really as a percentage, a low failure rate. I will be posting a list and the prices soon on my Big Daddy Facebook page, something I see a little more than Pinside. It's link is www.facebook.com/Big-Daddy-Enterprises-243775242366676. The first board I will be offering is the Rottendog MPUSEC MPU board for
Corvette
Dirty Harry
Flintstones
Indianapolis 500
Jack*Bot
Johnny Mnemonic
No Fear: Dangerous Sports
Road Show
The Shadow
Theatre of Magic
WHO dunnit
World Cup Soccer
Normally $220 plus shipping, I will be selling about 200 for $150 shipped in the US. Let me know on Facebook if you want one or email.
I will also be offering some MPU9211s that are unpopulated & tested with 6821s, as well as some fully tested with new Western Design Center 6521s. The new owner has pushed the price to $500 and I think that's out of line, but it is supply and demand. That's the news from Big Daddy Enterprises & XPin Pinball
