Quoted from Md2020:I haven't got them set up, yet. Got to find a safe way to get them into the house
You don’t need to wait till they’re in the house lol. The point of the thread is to show off what you bought. Plenty of people show them in the trailer, in the car, at the shop, in the garage.
Anywhere.
It’s an exciting thread to see what people snag!
Quoted from Md2020:So, about this other machine....... I absolutely have the chance to pick up the Data East GnR (the game is in my top 5). I am going to look at it tomorrow. What I currently know is it's been on route it's entire life. The seller told me the DMD is probably missing segments, or some dead pixels. Also, the topper is missing. I looked at the game here for estimated value, but i think this circumstance here is a bit different. Assuming it's at least playable, what would you guys say would be a good offer? I have allocated 5000 telling myself that I shant go above that (I just picked up 2 games a couple days ago). Obviously, if its totally effed, I wouldn't want to cough up 5k either. I wanted to consult with you guys to try and piece this together before I go meet the guy tomorrow.
Under no circumstances is a routed GNR worth more than 5k. You can buy restored ones for like 8 or 9 and the new JJP has brought prices down.
Offer him 3-4k. If he says no, walk away. When you’re leaving make it slow and deliberate.. If he doesn’t say anything make a final offer at 5k.
If he doesn’t take it or wants even a penny more, keep walking.
Once you show up with cash in hand, they almost always say yes when you’re leaving. Too tempted to let that money walk away.
