AC/DC Pro, good price, about seven hours of driving each way. Means I'd have to get rid of my DK cocktail and T2 (already on the market), and I'd probably throw my F-14 and Gorgar up there as well. There's just some part of me that doesn't feel like jumping in the car, and I'm not sure why... :-/

Luke

Thanks team! Gonna sleep on it, but if someone gets it in the interim, good on 'em!

Luke

Hey,

Here's why I'm leaning toward it. Got an email from my Mom today; she wants to come visit this weekend, so she will be here tomorrow. Last year, we took a bit of a road trip to get my LotR, and it was a good time. That was a day trip; four or five hours one way, grab the game, have lunch, come home. So, thought of doing that again. The price is right, and I've been humming and hawing on one for a while, but just couldn't bring myself to buy the Premium. I also might have a buyer on my T2 over that way.

The downside is the driving, and it also seems like stuff is coming up left and right. I bought an F-14 last week, a Big Guns/HS deal came up yesterday, and now this. Part of me wonders what's going to come up for sale tomorrow...

Luke

Hey,

One way or another, gotta wait for the bank to open tomorrow...

Luke

It is pretty boring going to the hospital and not having to sell a game to pay for it, I'll give you that...

Luke

I'm getting ripped on from a guy from Burnsville? Didn't your city slogan officially change from "hey, we've got a Hooters" to "only a few more miles to the zoo, kids!" four years back?

(My cousin lives by Vista View Park, and my Mom grew up in Bloomington...)

Luke

Hey,

I held off. I realized that, factoring in what my time is worth, I could probably just get a NIB one and be done with it. Whether I do that or not is another thing...

Luke

Hey,

We'll see if the game is still around after the weekend. If I get ambitious, I may drive through such locales as Swift Current and Medicine Hat...

Luke

Alright kids, I didn't lame out! Somehow the game stuck around for two weeks without selling. Just sent the guy a deposit...

Luke

And since someone mentioned it, I managed to move the T2, Gorgar, and F-14 within about 36 hours of each other.

Luke

And....it's in the car. It was "lightly" routed. If the operator never updated the code (it's on 1.61), then the game has 147 plays on it. I'll get pictures up when it's all set up, but really, it looks like a super-nice AC/DC Pro....

Luke

Or, I guess I should say, 147 plays since 1.61 went in; I'll never know what was originally in there...

Luke

Hey,

It actually worked out really well. My better half has never been to the Rockies, so I took some time off. I got my pinball machine, she gets to see Lake Louise and Banff; everyone's happy.

Luke

And just for my own benefit, there it is all wrapped up...

Hey,

Not to be rude about the matter, but it not going to get into what I paid on a public forum. Sorry. I will say I found it pretty ridiculous that I was the first person to actually go out there and look at it (guy was about half way between Edmonton and Calgary).

Luke

Hey,

No, it was actually a fellow outside of Sundre.

Luke

Hey,

Thanks man, we're just driving home now. Hope to set the game up tomorrow and see what we can see. Pictures to come...

Luke

And here's what's wrong with the game; I was the guy who put the mark on the corner of the backbox, which bugs me quite a bit, but until a new house shows up, I'm always going to have a 90 degree turn at the top of the stairs:
