Here's something you'll probably never see again:

This cabinet is different than mine, I wonder how many styles they made? Personally I like this one more since the sides are open.

If anyone from this board actually buys this, I would be VERY interested in trading for the games it comes with. If it wasn't local pick up only I probably would grab this just for the tapes (not to mention I'm a DECO-Head).

If it ends cheap enough you might could still bid and get the seller to ship just the tapes? :ponder:

That would be a shame, but I've already thought of that. I've got a snipe program ready just in case.

Every night I look at this. But it is about 560 miles from me one way. sigh. I dont' have the money to pick it up on a weekend. Even if the person drives 200.00 miles. It would be easier just to nail it. Shipping frieght wont' work easier. Last time I priced something form oregon it was still cheaper to drive and pick it up. If I only ahd the cash.

later,

I look at this auction every night just hoping someone from this board will take it. If it ends under $200 I'm willing to keep the games I don't have and let someone else have the machine. Although if I had the room I'd snag that machine too...

:o No reserve on that?? And here I am, all the way across the freaking country. :mad:

For $49, it might be worth it to rent a truck and DRIVE there.

Ok I went and won it. Considering my first DECO cab cost me $500, I think this one was a STEAL!

http://cgi.ebay.com/...e=STRK:MEBWA:IT

Unfortunately I don't need another one (nor do I have room for it). I've talked to the seller and he said I could have the games (except for the non-working Astro Fantasia which he's going to keep with the machine since that's what the marquee is for). Is there ANYONE from this board who would like this machine. As the devil would say: "I'll make you such a a deal". I'm not looking to make money on this one, I just wanted the games. So if anyone here wants this and lives near it (there was no shipping), please let me know. Otherwise the seller gets it back and it goes back on ebay I guess.

Anyone? If not I'll try and contact the second highest bidder, but I'd like this to go to an AA'er.

Ah... had it been someplace in New England (there are lots of Portlands) I'd have been all over it.
