Grandmother buys old building, finds out bottom two floors were a game center and is still stocked with Aero Cities and Namco Consolettes 26s. Grandson is going to export to the USA.

Thanks Dave!

Stark, Dave, you want to help me work this out? I can start the thread, though I do want to revise a few of the parameters for participation, as a few members had some concerns.

That's seriously awesome! I know details are sketchy, but any idea of a rough value for the listed stuff?

He listed out pricing for the main cabs:
Working Astro or Aero - $500
Nonworking Astro or Aero - $200
Working Consolette - $1200
Nonworking Consolette - $600
Games not priced.

Those were the shipped to California prices, but I believe a store in the Netherlands bought all of them. Damn shame to I would have paid the $400-500 for a broken Astro to my door. My wife gave me the go ahead to get another Astro if it pops up for sale within our budget.

Have you ever noticed how leaderboards can make you feel worse about how you play a game, but better about how you spend time in your life.... or vice versa.

Yes!

There's something also a third one, tho. Pissed at how many people obviously cheated, AND got away with it!

I could never get into those games. Whenever I play I end up yelling at the screen "why can't you just jump dammit?!"

Let's see you jumping around like a crack monkey with a heavy backpack and metal extending arm weighing you down.

4th. I just have to beat one of the people I know. Usually Ack or JT. Granted I usually fail in these attempts.
