Soon as i read that he turned up with a trailer to transport the game i knew where this thread was heading  *!@ *!@

I'm VERY hesitant to sell a machine to just any joe blow who wants to buy one.. i'm more used to selling to a fellow enthusiast or someone i know well. Plus every machine i have sold so far i delivered (in my Camry s/wagon)  and set up the game for them. So far i have had no major nuisance calls like you have just described in this thread.

I've had one guy hassling me to sell/find him a cheap game.. ie about $1000.. now this guy is going to be a real pain as i looked at a sitdown video game for him that had been in storage for six years.. it was rooted and i told him so, now he has given me the game (lucky me..NOT!) and in return i'm supposed to sell him a pin cheap  *!@ he had his eye on my Zac Universe that i'm thinking of selling.. the one i spent over 6 months restoring (there's a resto thread here somewhere).. I havent heard from him in a few months now, as i told him i was snowed under with other peoples pin work and didn't have time to fix the few switch problems the Zac pin currently has (i'm hoping he has forgotten about it)  :lol

After reading this thread i think it might be a bad idea selling this guy the game!! besides that its a Zac EM and they arent the most reliable thing around, he's the type of guy who'd call me with EVERY little minor hiccup it made! and, he's NOT getting it for $1K  *.* *.* *.*  If he gets too persistent and pisses me of enough, i'll likely say 'look mate.. it aint for sale for that price.. now take your f**kn video game back and piss off!!'  :lol That ratty old vid of his is worth nothing to me and has been sitting out on my back verandah for the last 4 months being used as a coffee table  %.% %.%
