Depends on the title and the price. It helps if the price is set / agreed upon BEFORE you decide to take the trip.
Sometimes, the actual trip is as important as the machine, and the memories will always be cherished. People you meet as a buyer can forge longer friendships. Two trips for me were memorable ;
1 - Terang - Pro Football off eBay for $500. I cannot remember how long it took me to get there - maybe a 6 hour trip. I got there and the seller had pulled the machine out of the garage for me. It could not stand on it's legs. The cabinet was falling apart. In the "spirit of the deal" - I paid for it and drove it back to Melbourne. The machine STUNK of moisture and "decay". I listened to a CD I had just bought "Talisman - 7", and EVERY time I listen to that CD, I remember the smell and the trip back.
2 - Lakes Entrance - Buccaneer - A year before I bought it, it was a lonely figure next to a Video in the gamesroom in a Holiday unit we were staying in. I offerred to repair it - at least send parts up when I got home. I left him my number and a year later - he called me and asked me to pick up the machine. Eight hours later, it was in my Garage. That was a great memory.
I'll drive anywhere to buy a machine I really want, or just for "the memory"..
