This is an email exchange I just had tonight....I have gotten over the years
quite a few "requests" like this....this one is particularly endearing! Tell
me what you think!

A Lesser man would break down....here is the first email I got from this
youngster.....

hi there,
i saw one of your post on the internet regarding your FREE arcade cabinet. Do
you still have any available, i ll be glad to take one of your hands.
Thanks in advance
-Michael

Yes...both are still outside and ready to take....we will be knocking one apart
tonight to put into the dumpster tonight (collected in the early am)...so I
would suggest coming before 10pm tonight to select from both! Todd

Yes!!!!! i want your arcade cabinets. please reserve them for me so i can have
them both. Can i be able to have your address? Thanks in advance.
And please dont give them away, i have been wanting one forever.
Thanks a lot
-Michael

ok, i will check it out right now. But are the arcades in good condition? or
are they broken in massive ways? also are they gutted or is something included?
like coindoors.
thank you so much
-Michael

The coin door is on one game, and some wiring and a transformer, both are good
condition...one is going into dumpster at 10pm tonight (as we have trash pickup
tomorrow) Todd

Btw are they in good condition? can i see pictures?
-Michael

sorry, no pictures available... Todd

Oh you live in philadelphia? i live in morgan hill, near san jose. There is no
way i can make it there till 10pm. is there a way you can send the arcades and
i'll pay a little shipping?
thank you

San Jose is just 2866 miles away...I can freight it to you for just $300
each...simply paypal me the $$$ and I will get them out tomorrow! (Please add
$35 for each for crating costs). Todd

im sorry buy $300 is too much to pay and that for each. Can we make the deal
work somehow?
becuase i think it would be really wasting if you just throw them in the dump,
can't we arrange something?
-Michael

Well, I can lose money on it---any time I can save a game from
destruction...how about if I ship you both games for $25 (I will pay the
shipping company the other $550 and then also absorb the crating costs too).
Todd

well if you are willing to let me have them for $25, then we have a deal.
-Michael

WONDERFUL! I cannot WAIT to give the shipping company $550, as I am
incredibly wealthy....I will ship them out freight collect tomorrow!!!!!!!!
(I will need a small handling fee though---say $550) Todd

ok i see where this is going, so i guess no deal heh? :-)
Well thanks anyway -Michael

yes...a BIG CLUNK! Todd

well thank you anyway -Michael

Nothing quite like selling. I don't know what often goes through a buyers
mind, but it can be hilarious. LTG :)

Here is a followup to the post you just read from last night...I received this
email from Michael this morning...

why the hell are you posting my conversation i had with you on google!!

and my response...

Why? Because it was insane...and I wanted to share the insanity I get emailed
to me daily with others...and if you read the posts from the people who posted
after me, you should have noticed they agree with me! Todd

Please remember...I only posted his first name and no email address---so
Michael is still unknown other than living in San Jose.

San Jose is in CA yes? I lived in HB CA for 8 years and had to deal
with freeloading whiners like that that whole time. There were a few
cool folks there too, but mostly just like the whiny begger you had to
deal with. Sorry Todd, thanks for all your kindness help to the pin
world.

Have fun, Karl.

You shouldn't have strung that guy along like that. That's just being mean.
