Know what you are bidding on. Go on ebay and get familiar with what boards look like. That way, you will not go bidding 750 for a bootleg Galaga or Ms. Pac. I have seem them go as high as the real thing in auction, but not because they are worth it.

 

Also, know the difference between a serious problem and something easy to fix. A Pac with a bad overlay and joystick is easier to fix than a monitor that does not come up. Also, I would rather get a dead G07 than a monitor with no "red" (a piece of wire can come in handy; email me if you want to know how to test color guns).

 

HTH,
