im at a house yesterday, doing a trouble call for cablevision. i had to go to the customers basement to fix some lines. while im there, he turns on the lights and there is an RENEGADE arcade game! im like "wow, where did u get that from?" the guy replies "ive had it for years... i dont use it anymore. it works mint". i ask him "well, if you ever decide to let it go, let me know." he then says "my sons friend wanted to buy it. he offered me $2500." i replied to the guy "you should have took it".

im, sorry, $2500 for renegade machine? is he nuts? or am i?

Depends on the game, I think. If you could even find a decent working, say, Aztarac or a color War Of The Worlds or a Vertigo machine then I'd say, to quote the Russian billionaire in the DirecTV commercial, "jump in it".
