    Guns N Roses for $500 from a garage sale 10 years ago. The Craigslist ad just listed "pinball machine." I couldn't load the game into my truck fast enough. It just needed a good cleaning and some switches fixed and I had it playing 100%. Those days are long gone, but I don't miss that game.

    Guns n Roses for $500 at a Sunday morning garage sale that listed a ‘pinball machine’ in the ad. Sold it for a few grand after fixing all of the issues and playing it for a while. I have pics I can dig up somewhere. I also bought a SafeCracker through a friend of a friend for $500. The guy was a contractor and cleaned out a property where the previous owners left a few games and arcades. He was going to just give it to me, but I offered him $500 as I knew it was worth a lot more. Fixed all of the issues and kept it for a while. It even had a lot of tokens inside. Rob Bell bought it from me and worked his magic on the faded side of the cabinet with sharpies. Those types of deals don’t seem to come up anymore
