    My question is why would you buy from the same person twice if they gave you a horrible expierience and have shown that they are bassically scammers using stock photos and lying about the condition or packing it horribly.

     

     

    Correction, I didn't buy from him twice. He had the only other PS2 sign up and I told him to get it here in one piece and THEN I'd pay him for it. As yet, I've not paid for the second PS2 sign.

    oh, okay just don't pay him for his crappy sign then

    Hi, I'm looking to start saving up for an arcade game soon but before I do I just wanted to know which of these machines I'm interested in has the most reliable, the machines are Ms. Pacman, Qix, Q-bert, Robotron 2084, Asteroids, Missile Command, or Centipede/Millipede. I want the upright versions.

    I have owned and currently own some of these machines except for Qix and Q-Bert. I never had any problems with Robotron, Ms.Pacman, or Asteroids. Missle command I had a few minor problems which I actually got fixed by joining the AA website and getting great advice by one of the moderators. Centipede has been a nightmare though, 3 boards and a (power supply?) later, and it will work sometimes. So in my opinion Asteroids, Robotron, and ms. Pacman are all pretty safe bets. I will say that I have owned Robotron for the longest (20 years, bought it a few years out of high school) and it has never once let me down. Another machine I have owned for a long time is Ivan Stewarts 'Off road' and it still runs like new.

    Alright thanks for the info, now I just need info on Qix, Q-bert(I expect to be a little more high maitnence due to the solenoid inside), and Millipede

    Get the four port one. I love mine and it works alright and my switchbox works great. I wouldn't get a two port because it has differences in the cartridge slot that make it incompatible with some 5200 games while making is compatible with the 2600 adaptor. There are also a few four port 5200's that have asteriks in their serial numbers, that means they are four port motherboards, but they have had the cartridge slot changes in order to make it compatible with the adapter, these 5200's have the same compatability problem as the 2 port.

    Hi,

     

    I'm selling my Adam.

     

    http://cgi.ebay.ca/w...=STRK:MESELX:IT

     

    Thanks

    I saw one of these like yours for sale at a convention once for 100 bucks also, I would have bought it except I had to fly home and I don't think checking it at the airport was a good idea and I didn't have to time nor did I want to spend the money to stop by the post office to ship it.

     

     

    Its a pretty large box....but its well packed. I agree an airport would have been a pain.

    Yea, but the problem is that you need another box to put it in otherwise you risk damaging it, and the thing wieghs like 50 pounds or so.

    I have a feeling this will go pretty high on ebay, you might be making a nice little fortune especially because its brand new ;)

    Usually they were sold sealed for $40-$50 in the past!

     

    True but I have kept my eye on a bunch and late just loose Supercharger have been going 60 ~ 80 if you don't include the wacky 200 auction . . .

    Good thing I got my supercharger for 40 bucks complete with two complete games

    Paypal dispute under way. will keep you posted.

     

    What do you think the value of the box alone is?? it looks like it may have been a 7/10 condition before it was posted.

    Ah yes. The old wait ten days and hope it goes your way and he doesn't reply waiting period. Let's hope it goes your way. :thumbsup:

     

    he responded straight away with some lame claim... so now it's up to ebay...

    What was his claim? After he last reply I'm curious to know what he came up with.

     

     

    ok... my paypal claim:

    Buyer: As mentioned in my last email to you. The box that accompanied the item was not wrapped and therefore sustained a lot of damage from tapes, adhesives and marker pens during shipping. Although you do not consider the box as a valuable part of the item - to a collector like myself the box is very much an important part of it. I purchased the box, accessories and the console in its entirety and expected that it would be suitably packaged for shipping. As a result the box has lost all value and I wish to be compensated for this.

     

    his counter claim:

    Seller: This buyer wants a refund for merchandise thats in perfect working order iam not refunding money for this transaction because he should have told me about the box in the beging iam not a collector so i don't know nothing about boxes the system is what i sold not the box i just happen to have it thats the bottom line.

     

    whether paypal get a specialist or not, to review and solve the dispute - the way i see it, i paid money for an item lot, which included the box as part of the item, and that part of the lot was damaged through negligence on the seller's behalf... and therefore a partial refund should be awarded. I don't think there will be an issue with that. But i think it will come down to whether they get a specialist to decide what that box is worth as a partial refund - i might end up getting $5 back ??!!

     

    either way - shit like this only happens once - next time i will definately cut and paste - 'how to pack my item' 101

    just a pity I had to lose out on this particular item.

    I hope paypal sides with you as you paid for the system and the box in the condition they were in at the time of the auction, and the box was destroyed by the seller.

    I came across a cool website: PlayVectrex.com

     

    It mentions my issues and how to repair them... problem is, I have NO IDEA what any of this stuff means. Anyone got any ideas? I'm desperate.

     

    Troubleshooting Guide

     

    I am surprised no one has mentioned this. Contact John Dondzila. If he doesn't know the answer, then no one does.

     

    Here's the website:

    Yes John definetley knows his way around the Vectrex, I bought Vecmania from him, and it is one of the best games I have to the system.

    Well I was talking about the Vol 2 issues as you call them, the full size comics. Yea, the ending in NO. 20 was pretty bland, as though they couldn't just come up with a conclusion. I was expecting, when I took out issues 21 that they would use to tie up the story, but no thats just the backstory of dart and a story about packrat on Scanner 1. But I did like the rest of the comics. I plan on buying the original 5 mini issues, AX almost sold me them but he pretty much demanded I send him the money, and wouldn't even send me pictures of the lot.

    I would get one of those wallets, but 55 bucks is a little to much to pay

     

    Ya, I could not figure out why the other ones were 55 dollars. The only pieces to purchase that mine has is the label paper and the hinges. everything else is from the cart pieces.

     

    What do you think would be a good price for these? I have quite a few dead carts laying around that I am thinking of converting like this.

    Well, lets get some factors together, how long did it take you to make it? Theres money for labor and materials, we would need both of those figures and then a little extra for a profit to know how much you should charge for it, right now I'm thinking 10-15 dollars.

     

    It took about an hour to build, 2 hinges .18, 1/4 sheet of label material .50, glue .10

    Ok with that information I would guess that about 12-15 dollars is a good price for them

    As it's going to cost lets say 6 dollars for one hour of work, cart would be worth around 1 dollar if you bought in bulk, and extra materials would be about 1 dollar so 4 dollars profit for you
