Title: My night for arcade games for me on ebay tonight!
Post by: on March 29, 2006, 12:32:36 am
Well, I had a lot of fun on eBay tonight snagging two great arcade machines for very little. Plus they are only 40 minutes from me, so I will be able to drive there and lay them both in my minivan. Yeah, no freight charges!

$157.50  "Super Mario Brothers" Arcade Game   http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....IT&rd=1
(an easy cabinet to convert to Donkey Kong someday if I ever want to, cause they use the same exact cabinet) Perfect shape and works great.



$154.00  "Space Invaders"  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....IT&rd=1

In great physical shape, everything is there, but it doesn't currently play, but that's fine, because I have a friend that fixes them for a living and he even has his own Space Invaders at his place.

Whoo-hoo!!! I am excited!

Finally on a roll. Oh and I almost got a neat old slot machine, but the person holding it for me ended up selling it to someone else before I could get there.

Nice finds.  So, I see that you had to get a storage unit for everything! :D :p

Be ready Mark. Once you are on a roll it seems that they all come out of the woodwork. Nice storage unit. That is a big one.

Awesome!! That's what I need  :D  I would LOVE to have a "few" classic arcade games. Looks like you got a great deal and it's also way-cool that you have a buddy that's "in-the-know" when it comes to arcade game repairs.

All I have to say is...Hook a brother up with some luck! :hopefull:
