Yep, I'd pay it. It's a 210 mile drive though and I don't own a vehicle that can transport it.

That's 210 miles, one-way.

That store's price sounds too good to be true. $12K for a full shop, My 11 year old car is worth more than that. Something smells fishy... maybe the store is in a secluded area or you have to buy it and pay some loans on the business. How come he has $25k in inventory but wants to sell the whole thing for $12k ? The fact that no one picked up this already makes me feel even more suspicious .

Then again, good offers are the ones that are too good to be true. I also did not believe such prices exist, but I can tell you from personal experience I have seen people sell things for jaw-dropping prices. Way out of topic, but I know of a guy that sold his car for at least $20k under market value. Do not ask me why, I just learned these things happen. (Last I heard, the new owner made something like $15K on same or next day sale)
it's in a relatively populated suburb on a busy strip near some big box retailers and grocery stores, but it's a little off the beaten path for most of indianapolis. it's also pretty close to other similar retailers (gamestop, best buy, wal-mart, disc replay) so that's something to consider as well.

i thought about trying to buy the inventory, which might be something he would be receptive to, i guess he could sell off the fixtures and stuff to other businesses. i dunno. i think it'd be super cool, i just really do not have the time to do it right, kind of like the situation this guy finds himself in right now.

Too far to drive for me I think.
I'm sorry that appears to be a set of NVS cabs.

Must be cheap knock-offs.

That's a nice HDG Genesis - just looks like it needs a good polish. Is it TMSS or not?

Goodwill:

Disney Infinity Starter Set (Wii U / Complete): $19.00

Good deals since it just came out last month! Always wanted to see how this game was, especially with the Wii U-specific game pad features.

No idea to be honest... I have not really looked deep into the difference between the HDG and non HDG model 1's. I believe it may be a TMSS model by a few quick google searches but I'm not sure. Any tips on what I should look for? And what's the benefit of TMSS versus non TMSS?

does it boot up with this screen? If it just boots right into the game you have the best soundchip
