First bunch of games available from my clean-up. I was going to eBay
them, but thought that I'd offer them up in the groups first.

$35 each. Buy ALL 29 for $20 a piece.
Only the cabinets/games in this first clean-up are available at this
time. As soon as these are all gone, there will be another 30 or so
available.

Nothing too spectacular, but maybe something you are interested in.

Check out a bunch of pictures here:
http://s117.photobucket.com/albums/o71/mudmantim/extra%20cabinets/?start=all.

I am located in Vermontville, Michigan 49096 and I prefer these picked
up BEFORE July 23rd, 2007.
These are for pick up only, unless you make arrangements for
shipping.
I am available to deliver up to 6 cabinets for $1.25 a loaded mile and
up to 11 cabinets for $1.75 a loaded mile. Preferably within 200
miles of my address.
I would prefer you pick them up yourself though, that way you see
exactly what you are getting.

If, by some chance, you see something that you have to have and you
are located across the country, I will strip the cabinets for you for
an extra $25 + shipping. (I still have to get rid of the cabinet.)

Thanks.
-Tim

Damnit. Tempting stuff. I saw the Crystal Castles control panel and
almost blew my load. Then I saw it was in a Kangaroo cabinet. Oh
well. Do any of the monitors work for these games or haven't you
tested them?

I really didn't test any. I did bring them all home and vacuum them
out some and wipe down the bezels a bit. And, if they were complete,
I plugged them in to see if they did work (none came up). I didn't
check fuses or wiring or anything like that. I wouldn't be surprised
if some of the monitors did work, but I won't guarantee that.

Also, I did plug in some of the better looking cabinets without
monitors to see if they played blind. Tank, Route 16, I think Ikari
III (maybe) and a couple others did, in fact, play blind.

Obviously you either bought these all cheap or got em for nothing, why
would you go through all the trouble of hauling these things around to
turn around and sell them for $20? None of them look like they're in
terrible shape, what's up?

No way!! I overspent on these babies and am going to loose BIG TIME!!

My first big score cost me about $1000 for, what turned out to be,
around 50 games. With gas, motels, food, etc., it ended up being over
$4000.
Another haul was a trade deal, the guy wanted $35 a piece and I over
traded; that's for sure.
I paid $50 a piece for some of this stuff, just as it sits.

Oh yes, I'm losing money, but gaining space. Also, I need money for
school books in the fall and a small car payment.

Is this stuff worth anything, it was to me when I purchased it. Is it
worth anything now, sure it is; to somebody?

what you are buying.

I don't want anybody badmouthing me because I took ONE picture of a
barn full of stuff and counted the monitor tubes and let people get
excited thinking that there was more there than actually really was.
I try to be fair and give you pictures of it all, from many angles.

I think the pictures are fantastic. I can't imagine people wanting
any other angles than what you took of each cab. You put alot of work
into this sale. I just wish I saw a cab or two i'd want to take off
your hands.

Thanks, it was a lot of back-breaking work.

After this bunch is gone, I'll have another bunch. So there is still
plenty of cabinets to go through.

I think that's the Domino Man cabinet. I'm pretty sure that I took
pictures of the tags and posted them with the rest of the pictures.

Wow--the work that went into taking those pictures was worth more than
$35 per cab.

Nice to see the Domino Man and Alien Syndrome (cab #25), even if
they've been converted. If anybody gets that Alien Syndrome and
decides for some reason to get rid of the control panel, let me know!

I never did make it to the Kalamazoo warehouse. Those pictures are a
friend of mines.

I have 6 more cabinets available, take all 6 for $50. I'll toss in 2
Pole Position projects for $25 also.
$75 for 8, what a deal!

When I get around to it Monday, if they are not taken by then, the
last of group 1 will be taken care of.

I'm not "getting more in" so to speak. I'm bringing another load of
my own to my house to get rid of. I have barn storage that I need to
clear out and I have no extra place at my house to keep this stuff, so
most of it will go at rock-bottom prices.

This deal of games is now null and void.

Thanks to all who purchased. Look for another group in the near
future.

Thanks again.
