Mine was 5/19/2012. I low balled rai $3000 for a TOTAN he musta had for sale. He responded politely but I could tell he was not impressed. Sorry rai. I remember buying a TOTAN shortly thereafter close by for $4000 from somebody not on pinside. Boy was it a piece of shit.

My oldest mail is my first message sent to Rascal_H to buy his LOTR. Didnt hear back and then he told me he sold it to somebody else but then one of my buddies shows up with it at my house a few hours later, went up and bought it and surprised me. I know you said I should keep my first machine but now that my getaway is busted I have been there and back again more times then I can count, might be time to trade her on again.

Me interested in buying a Getaway and T2 for $3400 which were my first games. Both ended up having typical WPC issues that weren't fully explained, but that sure was a valuable learning experience for me

Second PM was me expressing interesting a Star Trip that got sold. Bullet dodged!

Mine was 6 years ago to MrSanRamon whom I priced my single owned HUO BBH to him for $3300. He did not buy and I ended up selling it to RobT - can’t believe I’ve known rob that long, good times!

OP
Quoted from Rascal_H:
I keep checking people’s collections to see if they still have the games from the old deals haha. Miss either of them?
I wouldn’t mind having a Getaway again. WCS94 wasn’t my cup of tea.

I miss them both but Getaway a lot more...It's one of the rare games I would buy again. But I'm happy with my current lineup.

I felt bad! I got a lot of PMs about that one. You shouldn’t have a problem selling it.

No worries, was a happy surprise! By the other responses in the thread it seems alot of people didn't get the first machine they wanted.
